The best location possible and a relatively quiet and safe place. Staff a bit indifferent - fine but not overly helpful or welcoming plus some confusion over our booking that wasn’t handled brilliantly but would still definitely stop here again

The rooms were tired and the windows covered in condensation and some black mould on the secondary glazing. Its a shame because if Thistle invested some cash it would be a great hotel.
