He took that paper and look at it, hesitated for few seconds then said "sorry I can't do anything for you, you still have to pay all 5 nights" I had no other choice...

    The room is comfortable, clean ,and the services are excellent. The staff were welcoming, specially Mr. Samir who was really friendly, very helpful., and made us feel home... He never hesitated calling him at any time to provide us with suplements or if there were any complanits, he made sure he provided us with necessary items and resolve any issues on the spot... I also would like to mention Mr Hassan who was so helpful and friendly... Many thanks to them and to the Reception team who have never hesitated to answer any questions and dealt with us professionally I will repeat this experience and book at this hotel again...

    ...This was my 80th Birthday Lunch , held at the Thistle Hotel Marble Arch London . The Restaurant Manager, Andrei Olteanu and Chef Roshan helped me to organise a perfect celebration... We had a complimentary pre birthday drink in a reserved area of the bar and they even set out the place cards and scattered confetti sprinklers on the table ... They brought out the birthday cake and they all sang Happy Birthday ... Most people were too full to eat the cake so the staff boxed up pieces of cake for my guests to take home ... Thank you to all the staff at the Thistle Hotel Marble Arch London , especially the restaurant manager Andrei - he is a credit to your organisation...

    ...I was serving as a chaperone for over 200 students traveling to London to perform in the London New Year's Day Parade, and we were very lucky to be placed at the Thistle London Marble Arch. We stayed for a week at the hotel with our large group of students, and from beginning to end, the staff were absolutely amazing... The hotel managers we interacted with were all top notch... They were patient, attentive, and incredibly professional all the way through... The catering team was also a step above... To say that Aron and his team went above and beyond would be a huge understatement... We had a number of students needing dietary restriction accommodations, and the catering staff did a pro level job of making sure those students had hearty food to fill them up, while also paying mind to keeping allergy items separate to avoid cross contamination... Us chaperones were in a slump while chaperoning the New Year's Eve party our students were enjoying within one of the hotel ballrooms, and Aron saw to it that a tray of coffees were sent our way... These folks are really setting the bar for what great customer service looks like... The maintenance and cleaning staff were also very on top of things where the rooms were concerned... I can't understate how much easier the fantastic staff at Thistle Marble Arch made our entire experience... Walking distance to literally anything you could want...

    I had an excellent stay at the Thistle Marble Arch. I was managing a large tour group staying at the hotel, and felt supported throughout the week by the amazing staff team... Aron and Natalia were particularly helpful and really deserve a shoutout... Communication was great throughout, they usually responded almost instantly to any queries/requests and were remarkably flexible... Natalia got every rooming issue sorted rapidly and Aron bent over backwards to make sure everybody was catered for... Extra hospitality didn't go unnoticed by our guests, and I really appreciated the extra support from the staff during the week... It was lovely to come back to a clean, comfortable room at the end of each day... All these little touches, in addition to how well they dealt with the group, meant that it was by far the best hotel experience I've had in my five years of working as a tour assistant...

We called them again and they came with the 3rd fridge and tonight we found out that it was on but the drinks were not chilled... not working still?... 2) As mentioned above, the mini bar items were not replenished and even after we called reception/ house keeping the following days these items were all still not refilled... 4) Customer service in general was very poor... At the front desk, everyone seemed busy and not interested in servicing customers... Lastly, the tone and attitude of the service crew were horrible...aloft would be the term i would use... 5) we tried to call for housekeeping/ room service/ reception and front desk during one of the nights (9 or 10pm ish) and there was no answer... all these different departments... we tried again 30 mins and still nothing...

    ...I emailed this hotel to see if they could cater for himas this is all I'm concerned about when booking a hotel. I would like to say thank you so much to Chris Charlemagne who went above and beyond for me... I asked if they had gf pizza, hot chocolate and breakfast items and also if the mini bar could have gf treats... I received an email back from Chris saying yes to all of this and that they will take care of everything... Chris stayed in touch with me via email a lot and answered any queries I had... The hotel was so handy for hyde park which is just over the road and the cherry on the cake was my son could have a gluten free pizza on room service (which we haven't ever been able to do before) when we got back to the hotel about 10.30 at night... Chris also arranged for a gluten free cake to be left in the room for my sons birthday which was a lovely surprise for him when we got back... We decided to have breakfast downstairs so I could speak to the chef and have a fresh plate made in the kitchen rather than risk any cross contamination... As soon as I mentioned it to the girl at the desk she went and got the chef for me who came straight out and asked what he would like... The staff also gave me the allergen file to look at... I only caught the name of Raphael who was lovely and got me the hot chocolate packaging to just make sure it was gluten free... Also I want to thank the man from concierge who got our cases when we were leaving... He got us a taxi outside to the station and was really lovely and friendly and wouldn't accept the tip we tried to give him... We had a fantastic stay in London and would recommend the hotel to everyone especially any coeliacs or anyone with coeliac children who understand its the little things of being included that matter...

    ...We are just back from a from a very pleasant stay at the Thistle Marble Arch. As a family of 5 we had a great experience staying here... From the location to the great customer service, we were given a very warm welcome from the moment we arrived... A half hour later we got a call to say our second room was ready and the friendly staff from baggage brought our bags to the room... The rooms though a little small are spotless and laid out so practically that the size fails to matter... And the bed was so fresh, clean and comfortable... Breakfast was so enjoyable and relaxing with a newspaper and the wide selection of breakfasts to choose from we took our time both mornings and completely enjoyed the experience... Again the staff were so friendly and nothing was a bother... We have stayed in many hotels over the years and this breakfast is right up there with the best of them... I would like to say a very big thank you to all at the Thistle for making our first trip to London so memorable and pleasant...

Anastasia at the front desk was friendly and clearly explained all info we needed to know perfectly, including the complimentary snacks and drinks from 5-7pm... I was greeted with a glass of prosecco and the kids a refreshing orange juice... Our room was spacious and clean perfect for a family of 4... The housekeeper who came to fix our sofa bed couldn't do enough for us, did we mention the complimentary drinks and snacks in the mini bar?... The breakfast was delicious and the wait staff was super attentive, wouldn't even get this kind of service in a michelin starred restaurant... The hotel itself had a little gift shop, Costa coffee and Wafflemeister which the kids loved... The location is near Oxford Street great for shopping...

    Booked a superior apartment for a family of five. Apartment was spacious: two rooms separated by french doors with a king bed and two pull out sofa beds, two bathrooms, kitchenette and two tvs... Having complimentary in-room beverages is a nice touch... Great location (right on Oxford St.) for shopping, dining and sightseeing... St. Christopher’s place and Marylebone are a stone’s throw away - great for dining and shopping too... When not dining out we bought yummy prepared foods from Marks and Spencer’s downstairs food hall (a block away) - heated food up in the room’s microwave/convection oven... Complimentary full breakfast buffet and access to food/drinks in the executive lounge kept us happily fed too... It’s a real challenge to find a great hotel to accommodate a family of five, the Thistle Marble Arch ticks all the boxes...

    This hotel is well located right near marble arch and seems to be extremely popular, especially with tourists from the middle east area who like to do a lot of shopping! The hotel is very close to Selfridges and the large Primark across the road seems to be popular with international guests... The room I had was excellent and a decent size for such a large hotel... The bed was very comfortable and I appreciated the free drinks in the fridge... The bathroom was good and the air-conditioning was terrific!... I had a nice view over the street and the room was mostly quiet... I enjoyed the breakfast which was the usual buffet with plenty of choices...

Excellent service oriented hotel. Great all round. Sumaya and Sarika in the restaurant were very helpful indeed. Great location as it’s in the heart of west end. We are here often and love the vibe of this hotel. They also have a cafe that serves till late which is a great plus.

Great room - comfy and quiet also a nice selection of food in the restaurant. Great location too. Whilst my experience was good, my colleague got a room that was supposed to be an upgrade but he was kept awake half of the night by the nightclub downstairs. Ask for a high floor and you will be fine.

Perfect location with close proximity to major stores. Rooms are relatively huge for single occupancy. Clean rooms and corridors except for a few litters such as used trays with left overs uncollected for a few hours. Overall, a superb hotel with good service.

My room was very clean and neat and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was awesome. I received great customer service from every staff member I encountered, but especially Ameeta C. I hope that when I travel to London again, I can stay at the Thistle.
