Stayed for a Sunday night when in the area. I hunted around the web and got a room only deal for £36 which was incredible value although the majority of the "good deals" were £50. The hotel is extremely handy for the M1 and is located effectively as part of the airport itself, there is a shuttle bus to the... more

We stayed at this hotel for evening meal, bed, breakfast and car parking for a 7 day holiday away. The 3 course meal and service were very nice in pleasant surroundings. Rooms were also very nice clean and tidy. We got our breakfast in the dining room at 5.30am (continental) - very handy - they open at something like 4.0am.... more

I've stayed at a few Thistle hotels but not at an airport location. I arrived late in the evening but could still get a good meal and a beer. The lounge was busy but not dis-concerting. Because I was in the area for business I hadn't taken all that much notice of the facilities but was pleased to see a... more

The Thistle is what one expects from an airport hotel Basic rooms, fairly clean and that's about it. The adjoining restaurant is lovely and offers nice food, albeit at a fairly dear price. The bathroom at the hotel was underequipped and myself and my partner, who were only staying over briefly before a flight in the wee small hours, had... more
