Great reception staff with a warm welcome. I received a complimentary room upgrade which was unexpected and a nice surprise. Room clean, fresh and well presented. Complimentary water and minibar along with tea and coffee (pod machine). Bathroom clean, good range of toiletries and bathrobes with slippers. Breakfast was everything you would expect and good quality. Overall, I am very glad to have chosen the Thistle hotel. So many hotels in London promise lots and deliver little but I will be choosing this hotel for future stays in london.

The hotel was really clean and welcoming to enter. The front doors are locked at 9pm and accessible by key card to add security. The staff were all welcoming and friendly and very accomodating when we needed to leave luggage and get changed after the half marathon!

Very good hotel for staying near the West End, but without much late evening noise. The rooms themselves need updating. In our room there were no outlets or USB charging ports next to either side of the bed. We had to charge all our stuff at the desk (inconvenient). Good water pressure and hot water. Rooms also lack a mini fridge.

Wonderful. I will be back!
Finally! I have found a London hotel that I will return to. Well positioned near public transport, plenty of taxis around and close to many of the places I need to be. Immaculately clean and wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. Unusually spacious room for a mid-range London venue. Outstanding buffet breakfast.

No Hot Water
We stayed 3 nights and there was never any hot water to shower in the mornings. The only time there was any hot water was in the middle of the night. When we complained the engineer informed us that the boilers were inadequate for the number of rooms.

When we arrived the woman on reception came over as very cool and not very welcoming. This is the only criticism we have of our stay. We have stayed here several times in the past and have always been very pleased with the food and the service. When we checked out Hamib LL70ZKY was very pleasant and checked with us if everything was satisfactory and we will definitely stay
