The comfort was amazing as I got a free upgrade to the suite. It’s just that the room needs a-bit more of maintenance in terms of the sink, some loose tiles. Other than that. It was great!

The management of Thistle Hotel should do some repair works like toilet door (which hardly to close) and cupboard with loose doors. But the plus point about Thistle Hotel is it has good staff, very polite and helpful. This is my personal opinion.

My experiences with Thistle were really bad - Starting from slow reception service, air-con not working, security latch broken on the door to towel not available in the room. I had to remind twice to get the towel only after 20 mins.

Terrible, horrible, dirty. Old, spoil tv, looks haunted, broken cupboard, smell of cigarette, book 3rooms, with 7kids total for a good swim and guess what. Pool are full of fungus(greenish) and not operating. We stayed for 30minutes and book another hotel instead. Waste money as its non refundable. Do not try.

The room was large and spacious. Day view of the seaview room is pleasant. I found the standing shower area to be too small and the shower area also looked like ut needs some deep cleaning. Overall comfortable stay but I wished the bathroom was more sparkling clean.

Check in was good. It’s a basic hotel but considered to be “high end” in Johor. I guess given the lack of choices this is a decent place to stay. Do not expect a five star. Rooms are bigger than KSL and the place is not as crowded. But the rooms are older and the decor is ordinary. You may even find some loose fixtures. Overall- avg place, nice service.

I stay at Thistle every time I visit JB because of its close proximity to where I need to go. So I know it is not the best when it comes to facilities and amenities. However, they could at least maintain what they have well. The gym is terrible with half the machines out of order. The restaurant is mostly unavailable with events and the wait staff is barely available. I saw one poor guy being turned away for dinner on a couple of occasions. I guess he wanted to try the food no matter what. I get that the hotel is old and it is currently going through renovation. However what it lacks in amenities should be made up by good service. Unfortunately this was the worst part of my experience at Thistle. After my numerous stays, it is obvious that service has gone downhill. I’m ok with indifferent service but rudeness is not acceptable. Most of the front desk staff were just plain rude. They were condescending and their immediate responses were alway no, not possible or no, not available. Even asking for an iron was an immediate rejection. Which by the way, isn’t an iron sort of an expected amenity? Anyway, I’m not sure if I will continue staying there even if the location is convenient for me. It may be more worth it to pay the extra Grab cost to stay at a more decent hotel at a slightly higher cost.

It’s nice in the room with toilets clad in marble but you can clearly tell things are dated. You’ll probably need some unholy strength to work the faucets what with their poor design. If it was still in the 1980s, I suppose it would be a grand hotel but sadly everything is left at a stand still. You’ll definitely need your own transport getting in and out. Car park entrance is a bit narrow at one point

This hotel was our favorite when we visited Johor Bahru before COVID-19 and we just had the opportunity to stay at this hotel again. I am a bit disappointed with the room's condition, I saw the wooden wall along the hotel corridor is already rotten. The bathroom has an unpleasant odor, and the bedsheets smell dusty the first night we stay but it's better after the request to change it on the second day. The sofa and chair had bad stains, we also found baby cockroaches and a small flying bug crawling on the makeup table. Hopefully, they can maintain the hotel quality back like the old days or even better.

The hotel is actually very nice, clean and 4-5 star rating, if not for the slow check in front desk service staff. Sad as the rest of the staff such as housekeeping, security and engineering are really prompt and up to secret. For the price, ambience and comfort, well worth a repeat stay.

First room that we checked in, the bathroom door almost came out. But they change the room within an hour time. But the second room that they change, we realized that the ceiling is leaking with water on the first night.
