I recently spent a week in the Thistle Westminster, and it was a good experience. The service was good, the room satisfactory, and the location well suited for my needs. The staff was extremely helpful in suggestion restaurants and arranging transportation. As for location, there are a number of great restaurants and good pubs within easy walking distance of the... more

As part of our Ruby wedding celebrations my wife took me to see Oliver and arranged an overnight accommodation to make it a special event. Oliver was just that - it was fantastic and absolutely worth seeing and a decent 4* hotel would be great - oh dear! Read on. The Thistle Westminster hotel as part of the package let... more

Booked a superior double, had to stay in a standard twin. Not conducive to a romantic break. Staff knocked 20% of the bill as they were unable to re-room us. Still pretty expensive though. Staff were apologetic but were very quick to blame the third party website I booked through. Room was fairly grubby (particularly the bathroom - toilet had... more

Good location, near underground and in walking distance of Palace and Parliament. Disappointing hotel which is obviously cutting corners. Lack of staff on reception and when phoned from the room was never answered. Bathroom was grubby around tiles and shower curtain, water was only luke warm. No air con working and road too noisy to keep window open. Breakfast very... more

I recently stayed at the Thistle Westminster for one night on a business trip. The hotel is well situated, close to Victoria Station and for those on a vacation, it's close to some of the major tourist attractions including Buckingham Palace. It also has the advantage of affording an opportunity for time travel back to the eighties. The decor hasn't... more

I stayed at the Thistle for one night, for business travel. I found it tired looking and dirty, particularly the bathroom which had dirt around the bath tiles and an antiquated shower that took several minutes to warm up. The ceiling tiles were broken and the seal around the sink had been clumsily re-applied and was peeling away. There were... more

I stayed here with a friend 6 through 9 April '09. I The hotel is nicely located, about 10 minutes' walk from Victoria Station (Circle, District and Victoria line underground lines, coaches) with a good number of restaurants within walking distance. The hotel's rear side was very quiet, being situated on a dead-end street (Warwick Row as I recall). The... more

Adult female traveling with three teen girls-two daughters, one friend. We had two rooms.-as we arrived on Saturday night at midnight, rooms weren't together-or even on same floor (even though we had requested adjoining.) On first night, I stayed in room116 with one daughter while other two stayed in room232. Our room was huge-three telephones, two hairdryers, couch, table,spacious area... more
