Nothing to shout about
Not as it used to be.
The available chair in the room is shaky and feels like anytime will give way.
The noise from water pump i reckon is loud
Breakfast spread on the upper area was cleared before 10 and was not topped up. Not practical for pple going up and down for food n drinks as the steps are a hazard.
3.1
Nothing. It was the worst hotel ive ever stayed in.
My room was infested with cockroaches, the pillows smells like pee and drool. the cleanliness was just really bad. We had to change the room and the bathtub in both rooms were super dirty and rusted. This hotel is an absolute no go and hope ppl think twice before staying here.

nice room
swimming pool for kids aged below 5 should not so deep
3.1
Easy access and parking
Booked a lounge access room that was closed, no alternative provision offered. The hotel is in need of drastic repair and is not up to the standard of a thistle hotel.
3.1
the view, food, staff and facilities was excellent.
My bathroom was stagnant. asked the cleaner to clean my bathroom, but they only use dustpan and towel. I just lost my mind 🤪 how on earth, they use dustpan to clean my bathroom instead of using floor wiper. 5 star hotel dont have floor wiper ?

Location and view
Old materials. Poorly maintained. Difficult parking

The parking, the view & accessibility to the surrounding area. Pleasant welcoming staff. Friendly jokey & quiet atmosphere.

Hygiene and cleanliness has to be improved.
There was a used condom in the room!
3.1
Hotel needs refurbishment.
3.1
Room was dirty. The furniture was messy and dirt. Had a tear in my duvet. No floor mat in the bathroom. Towels were not replaced. bad.Bad. bad. The worse hotel stay in JB and anywhere in Malaysia so far!!!!
3.1
room size is big
tv lost signal
breakfast selection poor
toilet door ( sliding concept )
3.1
The buffet breakfast provided is underwhelming. The selection is limited and after staying more than 2 days, it becomes mundane. No signature breakfast that could set aside Thistle from other hotels.
3.1
The room is spacious.
The hand towels and floor mat were not provided. There was a damp smell on the shower curtain. The duvet was so old that it was so thin with only patches of filler left inside. And there was no curtain lining on the glass window wall.

None
3.1
It's comfortable for family, food portion for room service was good. And admittedly all staff were professional and friendly!
The room facilities were dated, hot n cold taps colour labels were worn off, it would be nice to relabel them for safe use for children.

Close to every conection

3.etc.
3.1
The sea view is amazing. The staff were very welcoming. Check in was smooth. Room service was quick too.

Room was clean
Bathtub v small

Price was ok, room was big, people were very nice
The hotel is very old, a lot of things are broken. In the room, it's not very clean (white marks on the closet below the tv, fungus in the bathroom, black stain on some towel) and you have a lot of damage here and there, breakfast was not that great
3.1
Location and car park were convenient. Check in and out process was very fast. The room was quite spacious.
I think the Hotel management need to give more attention on the maintenance of the room. The toilet bowl already detached from the floor, the furniture door mostly was spoiled, plug points not in good condition and really looks like no schedule maintenance at all.
