The rooms were tired and the windows covered in condensation and some black mould on the secondary glazing. Its a shame because if Thistle invested some cash it would be a great hotel.

Great location but room was so small and narrow

The location is fantastic just a short walk to Leicester Square. The woman welcomed us when we checked in, very friendly. Our room was disappointing. It was very small. I booked a double bed but ours was full sized. To get to the other side of the bed, I had to squeeze myself between the foot of the bed and the tv. Not a good place to put a tv. The bed was alright not that comfortable. The shower was great but the bathroom needed some updates it was small as well. I was surprised there were no usb ports anywhere. Our view was ok. We had drinks at the bar and asked the server if it was 2 for £20 cocktails which he said no. But there was a poster in the lift so it was a bit annoying. Apart from the disappointment of the room, I would probably stay here again because of the location.

The best location possible and a relatively quiet and safe place. Staff a bit indifferent - fine but not overly helpful or welcoming plus some confusion over our booking that wasn’t handled brilliantly but would still definitely stop here again

Very good room and close to a lot of main attractions so easily walkable. Very poor breakfast options for vegans or someone with a dairy allergy. Staff tried to accommodate but very very limited options.

Best location!

The hotels location is perfect. And while it’s in the heart of everything it’s shockingly quiet and we slept well. The front desk staff are very helpful and friendly with anything you need. We will absolutely book this property again!
