The location is really nice. It is in the centre, yet it is very quite and you don't hear the buss of the Leicester square and Picсadily as you might from some other hotels in the area. It is situated close to Picсadily Circus and Charing Cross, so getting there is very easy from wherever in London. The rooms are... more

We stayed in this hotel for one night due to a congress in London and we were very pleased. I didn't check the reviews on Tripadvisor before this time because the hotel was booked by our secretary. However I was surprised to read such bad reviews! We noticed nothing of the sorts. The room was clean and very large, the... more

Stayed here for one night whilst in London on business. Queued behind an American lady to book in and she was complaining about some of the bedrooms and I think she had been in 2 or 3 already. When I got to my room it was small with 2 single beds as my husband was joining me I rang down... more

Well, I also was slighty cautious of this hotel due to previous reviews! Well I needn't have worried. I booked a hotel and show package with last minute.com for a surprise Birthday present for my Husband, I chose this hotel due to the fact that dinner and breakfast was included, I did upgrade the room to a suite which I... more

I was so apprehensive about staying here having read some bad reviews but I was very pleasantly surprised. Maybe it's a case of you get what you pay for. I don't know if it made any difference but I booked directly through the Thistle website. Also, I booked a 'deluxe' room which was upgraded on arrival (without asking) to a... more

A bad start to the trip. We arrived at around 8.00pm to be told that The Royal Trafalgar was over booked (reading other reviews I now wonder if this is a Thistle policy) and we were transferred by taxi (at the Hotel's expense) to The Thistle Bloomsbury. The taxi left us at the wrong hotel which meant a 10 minute... more

We booked this hotel through lastminute.com and got a good deal for one night that included breakfast and theatre tickets (£210 for 2 people). We live in London, but thought it would be fun to stay in the city centre for a night and see London through a tourist's eyes! Firstly, the location is fantastic - right behind Trafalgar Sq.... more

The location of this hotel is its only redeeming feature - from the minute I arrived until check out, the whole stay was exceptionally unpleasant. Rooms were not available for check-in for several hours past the advertised time, and when they were, they were cramped (even by London standards), dingy, dirty stains on the carpets, frayed curtains, with a pervading... more

I was staying at this hotel for a friends Birthday/Hen Weekend. There were 10 of us altogether, all staying twin rooms for two nights. On arrival they had our booking wrong (only 1 night and not for the night we arrived.) They sorted it swiftly and we all good rooms. The room I was staying in was very 'petit and... more
