Breakfast was seriously average but the location was fab, right between Piccadilly and Leicester Square, the room was well equipped, great hairdryer, shower hot and powerful and the room was really quiet. Expensive for what it was, but it wasn't somewhere I'd avoid again, in fact I would stay there again.

As` mentioned previously the hotel is in a perfect location for the theatre,nightlife, restaurants and of course sightseeing and only a minutes walk from Piccadily or Leicester Square Tube. Public areas are very small and are going to be refurbished but with everything on your doorstep its not a problem. Floors 3-7 had been re-furbished however rooms on floor 3... More

Hotel clean and neat. Good beds. We had 2 rooms, one with small bathroom and one with a big one, but both with great shower. We didn't have breakfast because of bad reviews on other sites and it was pretty expensive (16 gbp pp), but there's enough opportunity to have breakfast near the hotel. Rooms are soundproof.

I'm just back from staying at the Thistle Piccadilly. This is a great, centrally located hotel, handy for shops and theatreland. I really enjoyed my stay here. Aside from the location, i think that this hotel's best asset is its staff. I was travelling with my mum who is quite frail. The staff at the hotel couldn't do enought for... More

We stayed one night whilst going to see the David Hockney exhibition at the RA. Room was fine hotel in good location; short walk to the TA. However not cheap and we were not prepared to pay £10 each for breakfast. Beware of the refurbishment of Leicester Sqare just outside the hotel. Noisy and loud.
