Our stay was great except for the air conditioning in our room was not working throughout our entire stay. It was extremely hot in our room. The hotel tried to accommodate us however they were fully booked. They did provide us with 4 fans, however it was still hot. They did comp us with a 50% discount for every night we stayed there. The staff were very friendly and excellent to deal with. This hotel is the perfect location for sightseeing and within walking distance of everything around the square. Theatres, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Chinatown, Pickadilly, and the list goes on.

Good stay overall
Slow check in, reception person was clearly inexperienced & had to get a manager to help but only after leaving us standing there for far too long, she should have not been left alone until fully competent with the system. Comfy bed, room very spacious, we had a deluxe double, good facilities, friendly bar & restaurant staff. Overall good apart from check in

Great location and rooms are clean, but the hotel is hard to find as there is another Thistle hotel one block away. We were dropped at the wrong hotel with a large amount of luggage in the rain. There are stairs inside and out and on floors with rooms that make moving luggage difficult. There is no place to put luggage in the rooms, no racks provided (and very little space to put a rack even if you had one). There are no refrigerators in the rooms for medications or food. The list of amenities say there are laundry facilities, but in reality it is a laundry service. They say they would like you to reuse your towels, but provide no good place to hang it for drying.

A great place to stay!
We were first given an accessible room which was very nice but had no air conditioning which made the room about 30 degrees C. Reception brought us extra water and a fan that turned off every two hours. Not optimal for a night’s sleep. The next day we were moved to a room with air conditioning and the rest of our stay was very pleasant. The hotel is well located for theater goers. Near Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square. Breakfast was well presented and tasty. The entire staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

The staffing at this hotel is very poor. Front desk, staff routinely ignore Guests for extended periods of time. Our 3 PM checkout was delayed by over an hour because the room wasn’t clean, And ultimately, I had to sit in the lobby until someone was pulled from some other activity to give us access. The building is generally old and unsightly. The view was over a waterlogged roof. The only recommending feature of this hotel is it’s location.
