From my experience this is a typical Thistle city centre hotel. Shabby, overpriced and to be avoided at all costs. The hotel reception looks impressive, well presented and good friendly staff. However this pleasant experience ends at the hotel reception. I was on floor 5 which had a lingering small of damp and even had thick dust on the lift... more

We had a great time. I travelled with my husband and nine year old daughter. The hotel is in a great location, just up the street (5 minute walk) from the main Piccadilly Train Station; just across the road (1 minute walk) from the Piccadilly Bus Stops... which go everywhere and if you aren't into public transport the taxis are... more

I travelled to Manchester on business and spent a night in Thistle hotel (thanks god it was only one night).

On a conference for two days - only real problem was lack of preparation for serving 100 people at once with tea and coffee. Room small, view onto side street. Could hear light being switched on in next room and the occupant coughing, so a noisy neighbour might be a problem. Clean enough, and curtains kept light out OK. Only... more

Firstly using the sat nav this hotel was not the easiest to find with the one-way systems I phoned the hotel and the first person was not very helpful. After driving round for a further 10 minutes I tried again and got a local man who directed us to the hotel perfectly. The NCP is round the back of the... more

Very comfortable stay, friendly staff and room clean and tidy. Room was not massive and the decor a little tired. Excellent location for the centre of town. No directions given to the car park which is at the rear of the Hotel. Enjoyed a lovely stay and would certainly return. more
