This hotel has more than everything you would wish to find in a hotel room. Comfy bed, balcony, safe, refrigerator, a good size tv, hair drier. There is absolutely nothing I can complain about. All staff very friendly and helpful. would wish to find in a hotel room.

Very relaxing stay.

The place is away from the hustle bustle, very quiet and serene, relaxing with well planned out lay out. Just make sure you have good Wifi connections since the airport in Panglao is spotty. Even after using a local phone, couldn't connect to the hotel. But once we got checked in, everthing went well. The owner was apologetic. The place is well maintained, clean ,spotless, good hot showers and AC. Service is prompt, mini restaurant food was good, you can eat at your patio or at the dining area. Pool was inviting. They will call you a " tuktuk" to get to Alona Beach ( 20 minutes away) about $8.50 round trip. They can arrange excursions for you too. Overall, we had a nice, relaxing stay at the Inn.

5 star stay

Staff absolutely excellent and very accommodating, even with water shortage they did everything to make the trip comfortable, owner a great guy who gave us a lift to the airport. Food really good and cooked with our gf soy sauce so everything fresh to help with allegys

The property is first class and a great value. It is a bit away from Alona Beach and other resorts but it was fine as our tuk tuk driver was always just a call/text away. The pool was always refreshing, snacks and drinks were available in the rooms for a nominal fee, internet worked well except during a short brown out of course. There was a limited menu, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The outside bar was convenient too. It was honestly a quiet stay although it appeared there was little of no vacancies. It definitely was not a party spot while we were there which was fine since it gave us the opportunity to recharge at the end of the day. Staff was great and friendly also. Motorbikes were also available for daily rate of 400PHP. Would definitely stay again! BTW, call them when you land and they’ll send a car to pick you up at the airport

Nice room and pool except my 9 year old son ordered out of pool at 9am apparently for pool maintenance that didnt happen. Breakfast expensive. Miles from anywhere. One staff member very bossy and rude. Same staff insisted we pay for a 500ml water because an empty water bottle found in our room bin although we bought that bottle in La Familia restaurant in Panglao town where we had dinner.

Frank and Chai and their staff treated us very well. We appreciated the airport pick-up and drop-off, as well as arranging for a rental scooter and a tour if Bohol with Glen. It's a nice hotel and we really enjoyed our stay.

They could have a larger menu. But it's very new, and they provide a lot of the little things like shaving kits, toothbrushes and toothpaste, shampoo, soap and slippers.

A great hotel excellent rooms and service. It’s 12 minutes drive from Alona beach so it’s recommended to rent a scooter from them. Fantastic hotel for the price you pay!

I like this hotel it’s quite, it’s very clean. I just like the area…

Very clean, modern, organized. Great decor. Homey.

Though we only stayed 1 night my son loved the pool the property is well kept and clean as well.

We’ll recommended

The Thistle Inn is a lovely, nice oasis. The room was very clean and the service was outstanding. It is a well-run family-owned business. The owners organized airport pick up, our motorbike and car rental, and quickly addressed any questions we had during our stay. Would highly recommend it!

All the staff are great however the owner itself is not transparent with the charges at the end of your stay. This place is far from restaurants a

Staff were very kind and facility was clean and neat. It's just far from the busy downtown.

Beautiful rooms but no food served

Beautiful rooms and pool area! The location is away from the tourist spot so its very beautiful however please be aware that there are no food spots within walking distance and the hotel did not serve food or drinks during our time so this was a major problem for us. We would have appreciated being warned of this in advance of our stay as the listing states that there is a restaurant in house. We ended up spending lots on transport as the closest restaurant/cafe was a 10 min drive away. The hotel is near momo beach which is the most beautiful place to watch sunset, not a tourist in sight!

Best location, staff, and rooms.

Frank, Chy and the rest of the staff were super accommodating and they went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable. The rooms are well spaced, we have an infant and they made sure we had a cot available. They also catered for our baby’s food. Room is always clean without us even asking. They recommended places to visit, where to eat and what to do. The pool is literally outside the rooms so our little one had so much fun! We had the best time and we are extremely grateful to the owner and staff of thistle inn. We will definitely stay there again.

This property is almost 1 year old , every aspect of it is wonderful. We had a excellent time while visiting, we needed to add a couple of days to our stay after a change in plans. They handled it without any problem at all. I know we will return again in the future. The pool was crystal clear every day, grounds are well kept, amazing staff, food was excellent , pricing is extremely reasonable.

10/10 Highly Recommend! The staff were so friendly and hospitable. We felt so welcomed. The way the rooms were designed was very well thought out to ensure comfort of their guests. Would definitely come back to this place. It had such a laid back and quiet vibe but still very close to main tourist attractions.
