Loved by Thistle Hotel guests
"The comfort of the extra size bed was awesome. A very nice, big shower. Amazing"
"The privacy and quietness. It felt like such a nice little escape. It didn't feel like being in the centre of the city"
"The room space was big enough to accommodate three of us. We even had one bed empty."

“Thistle Hotel offers spacious rooms and helpful staff, especially welcome in a downtown area that shows signs of neglect; the lively sports bar with its outdoor beer garden definitely stands out. Its location proves convenient, near the KwaZulu-Natal Museum and other attractions, positioning it well for both business and leisure. It's a solid choice if you value internal comforts over immediate external surroundings.”
