Design is a bit old-fashioned, but amenities an personnel were OK. Very close to East Midlands Airport Terminal (300m walk), which is appreciable. Rooms are big enough, bed is nice, bathroom is not very roomy but for me it was enough. The pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna were appreciable during this snowy weather. The only problem lays in the... More

i recently had a two nights stay in the hotel. my overall experience was good. the staff was excellent, the rooms clean and spacy, the facilities ok, the internet connection just fine, the parking free of charge (strange for the UK), the breakfast rich, the dinner menu adequate. the bathroom can use a renovation and instead of the bathtab have...

Stayed here on buisness. Arrived late and weary and thought I would order room service rather than brave restaurant on my own. No room service! So had a meal in the very bright unwelcoming resturant where the food was disapointing, the atmosphere non existant and the service not brilliant for the prices charged. Room was comfortable and hotel surprisingly quiet... More

Thank God they have good staff because the hotel is a disappointment. I ordered a deluxe room- a small double bed with a bath stained by worn out enamel was not what I was expecting - the staff changed the room and the replacement was much better (very hard mattress though!) The car parking only gives 15 minutes free- not... More

We would agree with other writers that the staff at this hotel are exceedingly good and quick to sort out any problem. However, communication and information could be better. We phoned many months in advance to ask the cost of one night plus parking for the holiday. We were given a price, which we felt was reasonable and compared well... More

Stayed here for one night with my boyfriend and it was fantastic! Arrived in the evening and check-in was fast and easy. We were seen to our room on the first floor which was a lovely double room with TV, lovely clean en-suite and great facilities. Reception even sent us up a bathrobe free of charge as I suffer from...

standard rooms, very long corriders felt like it went on forever, breakfast basic but yummy whats there, close to airport, can hear some road noise but expected near airport. More

Have used the Thistle several times due to its proximity to the airport terminal and its room plus parking deals. Their ferry service to the terminal is efficient and reliable. A plus point is being able to book the hotel room at the start or end of a holiday combined with parking. Rooms are of reasonable size and there are... More

We stayed here for one night before an early morning flight. The staff were really polite and when they gave me a twin room instead of the double I had booked they changed it no problem at all. The room was clean and very well maintained. The double bed was huge. There was a conference going on at the same... More
