This is my fourth stay at the
This is my fourth stay at the THISTLE HOTEL, we came up from CUMBRIA for my husband 50th birthday along with a couple of friends. We stayed in an executive double double, altuough the rooms could be doing with being refurbished they are very very comfortable and very, very spacious, with the added touch of a small fridge. Would certainly book same again. The hotel is in a prime location for shopping and night life. The facilities and the staff are excellent. I wouldn-t stay at any other hotel.

One of my favourite hotels to
One of my favourite hotels to stay in in Glasgow. Staff have always been pleasant, courteous and very helpful on the numerous times I've stayed there, either with my partner or with my children. Swimming pool is great (if a little cold sometimes) although policy dictates that one adult can supervise only 2 children under the age of 16 in the pool. Rooms are well presented and clean (even by my self-confessed very high expectations) and the whole hotel is lovely to be in. Car parking on the lower ground level is very useful too and the hotel is very convenient for the motorway. It is also situated right in the city centre and easy to shop from. I would stay here again and again and can't recommend it enough. Didn't have breakfast this time - the only thing I would change would be that it wasn't all self-service, but that does make life easier when I stay there with my children as I can get them the food and quantities they need so I'm still pleased with that. The food is good too.

Arrived at the hotel mid morning
Arrived at the hotel mid morning to leave my bag as I was going to be out all day. I was welcomed by one of the friendly reception staff and they took my luggage and stored it securely which was great. When I came back to the hotel later that day I was welcomed again and checked in very quickly and efficently. Had room service that night which was reasonably priced and delivered quickly. Next day i used the leisure facilities which were very quiet but clean and tidy. I would recommend a stay at this hotel if you are looking for a hotel in the middle of Glasgow city centre.

Location was excellent, as were the facilities. We seemed to be upgraded to one of the newly refurbished rooms, and we were not charged for the car park. The booking was on room only basis and we did not eat breakfast at the hotel - but go down West George Street and there is an excellent little cafe with a wonderful full breakfast and porridge! Would certainly stay at the hotel again.

I had trouble getting into my
I had trouble getting into my room as the key only worked sometimes. The noise levels were very high but as this was christmas then you would expect loud noise. The fire alarm went off around 1.30am and the bell was too loud and i nearly had a heart attack and this added to my lack of sleep that night by the way it was a Saturday night. But good hotel, great location. This hotel had a spa swimming pool sauna steam room but all of the hot stuff was on a 10 minute timer this was a problem because you had to freze in between. I would use this hotel again but another time in the year.

Could not fault this hotel - room was very comfortable, a range of food available, and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Will certainly stay again.
