Thistle Inverness  

We booked the Thistle Hotel because of its value for money and the images of the rooms prior to arrival. Once we arrived we were not disappointed. We received a warm welcome and the fastest check in I have ever experienced. We enjoyed the bar and found that previous feedback was really not a fair reflection. We enjoyed a glass of wine (125ml) for £4.00 a glass which I don't think is unreasonable considering you are at a hotel. A larger glass (double the size hence double the price). We were a little baffled when we entered the room to find no tea making facilities but upon reading our room intro sheet were delighted to find them tucked away neatly in a drawer together with complimentary shortbreads!! We really enjoyed the food at the hotel, especially the Beef, Mushroom and Guiness Pie, it was fab!! Wonderful staff, comfortable and warm rooms, a 15 - 20 min walk to the centre of town or a £5.00 taxi journy ensure we had a fantastic time. We loved it so much we want to return in a couple of months.

We couldn't find fault with anything and really find it annoying when people write negative feedback - like dated etc - its not!! Very modern if anything. I'm learning that reading feedback is not good prior to a trip as I then feel anxious about what I have booked and on each occasion I have been right to ignore the reviews. Trust our review - its completely honest.

Our room was reasonably clean, although the Kettle though was faulty, and the hairdryer in a dangerous condition. Access to broadband / Wi-Fi was close to robbery Ten pounds for two G&T's down in the bar ensured a short walk to the nearest public house. But to top it all, there was a 24 hour, construction site, right outside of our window, building a very importand kfc outlet. When I departed in the moring, I thought I'd been mugged.

Nice room. Far from downtown but good taxi service. I will stay again. I really liked the ability to book a rental car at hotel through Alamo. When I tried to do so I was pushed to airport and not allowed to book at hotel. When we arrived I worked with reservationists at Alamo desk who changed pick up to hotel which was wonderful. We stayed at Ramada on Church street for considerable more money. I was very unhappy with Ramada. It only had location but everything else was inferior to Thistle. I did not enjoy the drunken display by locals on Sat evening which is the norm and it was very noisy at Ramada. Never again.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The leisure centre was very clean and my little girl loved the pool.

The price of breakfast. 14.99 for a continental seems a bit steep. No snacks eg crisps or nuts available in the bar.

Location was very convenient. Spa facilities was very good

The Bed ! It was very hard and both my husband and I woke up with severe back pain.

Good pool and jacuzzi

Swimming pool was a welcome facility

Room was tainted with smoking smell.Hotel looked very 'tired' and not very well maintained.Initial contact with staff not 'friendly' when tarrif was challenged.

The price that was on offer, the room was nice and the central location to the motor way and 2 retail units

The room was very small and a bit dated, not enough coffee in the room for two people. The dinner / room service menu was very limited and expensive.

service comfort convenience leisure
