The location is splendid overlooking the straits of johor and very near to the causeway for those who plan to have a day trip to singapore. Nearby to all the major shopping centres.if you are looking for a more authentic local delicacy(cheaper), there are a few eateries that start after 7 daily next to the soccer field....but the staff at...

While on business a large group of us stayed at the Thistle Hotel. Depending on the travel schedule we had as few as 3 and as many as 13 staying at the hotel staying between 60 and 120 days. We were greeted by friendly and professional staff. The rooms were clean and tidy. The beds were comfortable and gave us... More

The hotel is good, but perhaps it should be better. Room was nice and large and fresh to arrive in. But (perhaps because it was a "corner room") the air conditioning could not keep it cool enough. The curtains did not close properly either. The furnishing were getting old, the bathroom was fresh but really needed a renovation rather than... More

The room was big but the air con was very weak. It was a warm night for us ! I think Thistle is the only 5* hotel in Jb.. But, the breakfast was totally 1*. Nasi lemak with no sambal. Cold porridge. Very little variety. Best of all, soot in my eggs. I was contemplating if i wish to make... More

We stayed here for one night recently. This was our 3rd visit to the Hotel. Overall, I have been pleased with all my stays. The rooms are fairly clean, although it was not thoroughly cleaned during my second visit last year. They were fully booked and were trying to get our room ready. Other than that incident I do believe... More

Stayed a couple of nights in this hotel and can say on the first impression it seems rather ok and had good features with a nice pool and view towards the Straits waters. But then something striked on us in the form of food poisoning from the hotel food. We had been busy all the days and therefore no time... More

I love Thistle!definitely will come back every year! p/s: if you bring your toddler, please request for a cot because the bed is too high for them. More

Spacious room, but quite dusty and lack of maintenance, stayed here for a night if compared to Singapore hotel, the only good thing about this hotel is just "spacious". The service is just like most of the Malaysian hotel, average...and the price is of course lower than those hotels just a bridge away (Singapore) but considerably higher than other 2nd... More

I was assured this was one of the best hotels in JB and I do not doubt it. I reserved an executive floor at this property, non-sea view. Points below are the negatives, some staff at this property went the extra distance and made a positive impact. Oasis restaurant: Terrible. I should have asked for a refund in hindsight. The... More
