Our visit was a combined business/leisure trip for two people for two nights. Stayed 23 & 24 May 2013. The location is great for all things London, particularly Oxford Street.... The hotel is spacious & well laid out. We were on the 6th floor in an Executive Double. Other positives are the staff are friendly. Negatives: 1) The cost. We... More

We stayed in this hotel for 5 nights prior to our european vacation. We chose Thistle Marble Arch simply because our journey to Europe starts from here and it did not make sense to change hotels in the middle of our stay our try to arrive here on the day of departure very early - 4:45 AM. As it happened... More

We stayed here for 2 nights last weekend and overall were impressed with the hotel. It is in a very central location and it was easy to get everywhere we wanted to from here. The rooms are slightly dated as other reviewers have mentioned, but the size of our room was great with a big bed and plenty of storage... More

Excellent breakfast and a fantastic location. Only problems, the tea was cold at all breakfasts. Not enough hot water in bathrooms very poor for the money. But, for the location and variety of the included breakfast (minus the tea) I'm giving it 4 stars.

The lobby are extremely attractive - 1930's art deco style. The rooms not so much! I agree with the other reviewer 4 star lobby and 3 star room. The room was adequate if a little bit shabby. The beds were comfortable and it was clean. Although strips of wallpaper were missing off one of the walls. It was just rather... More

I used to stay at Thistle Trafalgar and I thought for a change will check into Thistle Marble Arch, to my surprised, room was much bigger and cheaper. Bigger hotel with many rooms and big lounge area where you can sit around and surf. Rooms come with free wifi too which is great. Location is great right in the heart... More

The fact that this hotel stands on one of the most central streets in London makes up for a multitude of shortcomings. Plus side: friendly staff, good sized room. Minus: dated, slow check-in, not enough lifts. However, overall an excellent place to stay.

First off would like to make it clear that this hotel is in no way a 4 star hotel. The lobby may be but once you get up into your room you will clearly see that it is a 3 star hotel. Gaudy looking curtains and carpet and a grungy looking shower curtain. Now other than that I have no... More

Stayed here for a few nights in May and was pleased with the service. Would not call it extraordinary. The room was unable to block out noise from the outside which was very loud and breakfast was always very busy. Would recommend for short stays but not for anything more than 2 nights just due to the amount of noise.... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Thistle Marble Arch hotel, located just off Oxford Street, takes its name from one of London’s best-known landmarks. Originally built on the Mall as a new gateway to Buckingham Palace, the Arch remains an exclusive thoroughfare as only members of the royal family and the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, are allowed to pass through it.As the name implies, the Arch is made from Italian white Carrara marble, a favourite material of the Art Deco movement in the 1920s and 30s, when Thistle Marble Arch was built. Today, the hotel is one of the few genuine Art Deco buildings left in London.It is also one of the few larger Oxford Street hotels with 692 bedrooms, including 281 deluxe and executive rooms and Suites. We also have our own Just Gym workout facilities on-site, an alternative to a brisk stroll around nearby Hyde Park. ... more   less
