I've stayed at the Thistle East Midlands Airport before for the annual Download rock festival weekend. I have to admit that the hotel is an excellent, convenient location at the airport for the festival at Donnington Park, but the room rates were way too overpriced and everyone I met discovered they were paying different prices per night. I was very... more

How disgraceful - My uncle stayed here last night and its disgusting. He had to get moved tree times because of the dirt, hairs, food on the floors of the rooms they offered him. At the third room - which had a pull down bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never stayed in a hotel with a pull down bed - maybe this was... more

My mother had the bed, breakfast, evening meal and parking package. The staff were so helpful and she cannot speak too highly about this hotel. more

We stayed one night prior to a flight on a Dinner Bed and Breakfast plus parking package. The reception staff were very efficient and friendly. We had booked a deluxe room - couldn't see what was deluxe about it and also a bedside light and the shaver point didn't work. The bathroom was cold and not at all inviting. The... more

The Thistle is genuinely within walking distance of East Midlands airport Departures, and the car parking arrangements onsite are excellent. Great value at £115 for double room accomodation and 15 nights parking.But one word of warning. This package is being advertised as "now including continental breakfast". Great, we thought. As our flight wasn't until 3.30pm, this would keep us going... more

Good: Very close to airport - 10 minutes walk across the car park. Bad: We ate in the bar - big mistake! The food was embarrassingly bad & overpriced. (Don't know what the restaurant food is like though). Other: Room was average, maybe a little overpriced. No lift, which is silly for an airport hotel (guess what..people might have suitcases...what... more

My wife and I stayed at the Thistle Hotel, and would definitely recommend. Main reason for booking was after a bad experience at the H****n. Needed one night’s accommodation and eight nights parking. I booked on line, and found a deal which included room, parking and a three course evening meal for two. From the instant we stepped into the... more

Not a 4* Hotel in my view. Rooms good size but furnishings, bathroom, lounge etc nothing special. Very expensive bar and restaurant. Breakfast adequate but for 4* you would normally expect a buffet breakfast but this wasn't. more

Stayed here for 1 night before going on holiday due to an early morning flight. Great location just on the right as you turn into the airport. We walked to the terminal building which took us about 5 minutes but they do run a courtesy bus as well which does need prebooking. The room was very spacious, we booked a... more
