Overall it was an excellent stay for my family in Thistle Hotel. Very large room for family suite like an apartment. The cleanliness should be improved because we found a tissue and cookies left under the sofa. Breakfast was good but need to queue about 10 minutes before we were allowed to go in due to no vacant tables.

Booked a King room, was an old (not the refurbished rooms) room on the 12th floor. Basic furnishing that look aged. There is a bathtub for shower, but without a curtain thus the entire toilet gets wet with puddles each time. At least the room was clean with a pleasant smell. Had expected more for a 5 star hotel.

The hotel room was great and spacious ! However, the sahur menu was quite limited, so it’s best to go early as the crowd starts coming in around 4 AM. That aside, the bed was spacious and comfortable, and the view wasn’t too bad either!
