I liked this thistle better than the other thistle location I stayed in. It’s a bit bigger. AC is not up to typical American standards but the people were very friendly and it was clean and it was in an absolutely excellent location. Especially if you’re seeing anything at the Harold Pinter theater.

Very helpful and pleasant staff. Powerful walk in shower and kettle, mugs, coffee machine and fridge in room. Very quiet room in a central area though noise from adjoining rooms in the morning. Great value for money given location

Location - the hotel has a wonderful location, great starting point for seeing many of of the main attractions; all nearby. Exactly what I was wanting. The Room - this on the other hand was where everything fell apart; absolutely terrible!! Without going into any great detail, let's just say we had a situation that was extremely disgusting. The more minor issues we had with the room were addressed quite quickly and that's where the staff did shine. Carpets need to be replaced as they are badly stained. Something they weren't able to fix. However, the main problem we had seemed pretty much ignored. We complained the first day, the second day, the third day, and it wasn't until the 5th day something was finally done. The Manager should have been far more pro-active. Restaurant - don't bother. Very friendly staff. Very helpful as well. But the meal portions were small. Clearly heated with a microwave, as half my dish was hot, and the other half was cool. Though it was tasty enough, the meals were quite expensive and not worth it. Now I understand why the place had no other guests eating there. I won't be back and I will highly recommend to everyone else, find another place to stay.

Very comfortable bed, great tv, nice quiet room and the staff were very helpful. Only let down was the tiny bathroom that could do with some maintenance, as the shower door wouldn't close and towel rail was about to fall off. I'd stay again if there's room with a bigger bathroom.

Check in took so long I had to ask if the lady was new. She assured us she wasn't. The other receptionist was quicker and managed to check in other guests and have a loud and, to her, hilarious conversation with a friend in the time it took to check us in. We were asked to write our email and phone number on a piece of paper because "the check in form is too long to give you". Who knows what happened to our personal details on that piece of paper. The room is basic, as in it provides the basics - clean ensuite shower bathroom, clean reasonably comfortable bed, working TV, etc. It doesn't have gowns or the ability to ask for them, no shower caps even upon asking, no body lotion, no separate shampoo and shower gel, no tissues. Ours was a deluxe room, so I would have thought tissues at the very least would be provided. The breakfast is good. There's enough to find something to eat. Hot English buffet, continental and breads etc. No omelettes. Coffee wasn't great so drank tea. Breakfast staff were excellent and checkout staff were excellent. Free to leave luggage while you explore London before going home. Excellent location. Charing Cross is the nearest tube.
