The Thistle is a great alternative to a hotel. With kitchen and lounge area it's great for a couple of nights.
It's really close to the Hippodrome and around a 15 minute walk to the main shopping precinct, harbour, restaurants etc.
The apartment is reasonably comfortable, sofa bed is a little bit hard to get comfortable on as a sofa but that's to be expected. The one thing is noise, there are numerous pubs/ bars nearby and as this is an older property it's only single pane glass so it is sometimes like they're in the room with you.
Instructions on check in/ out and directions clear and easy to understand. Parking a few minutes up the road- overnight stay around £16.
Overall not a bad option for a night or two.
