    Pros +

    • No A/C, fan was cheap, no outlets near bed.
    • Location
    • Location on BigBus Green route. Shower stall is small but thats not the issue. Had a pull curtain the when left hanging out of stall water ran down on floor, when i pulled it inside the stall it covered the drain and stall over flowed quickly.

    Cons -

    • Noise from the street & surrounding area very busy throughout the night in this central area.
    • Look at the likes comments! Breakfast was not very well prepared, lots of choices but not very flavorful.
    • Our room was not ready at 3pm check in time. The staff found us another similar room but found out the next day they had charged us too much as we had booked on booking.com online in advance.We were in room 16 and couldn't sleep because of the noise of the hotel vents. The staff couldn't locate our luggage that we had asked for them to look after. We had to call someone in to look at the TV as it didn't work...apparently down to a loose wire. The walls were thin and we could hear everthing in the corridors. The room was too small. You had to get into a cold shower before you could adjust the temperature of the water or adjust the temperature with the shiwer door open and risk the bathroom flooding. The beds had rollers on and moved when you sat on them. The sink was very dirty around the plug hole. It needed cleaning. Avoid room 16 if visiting!!

    The location was great

    The lady booking us in seemed a bit preoccupied and took a while to getting us checked in. The lift wasnt working and our room was in the 3rd floor. Also the bathroom had no heating.

    4PhoebePosted on: 2-19-2026

    A comfy bed and a quiet room. We were lucky to get a room with a fridge.

    Service at the front of the desk wasn't great. We were met with grumpy staff, not a single smile. The room had a buzzing sound from one of the electrical sockets.

    Perfectly located, friendly, bright and welcoming. Everything i had expected from a Thistle.

    Warm welcome and brilliant staff, friendly, helpful and professional.

    8StarakiPosted on: 2-18-2026

    The staff was really polite and helpful. Nice touch the free breakfast if you don't need cleaning for your room. Big room on the 4th floor. There's tea, coffee and cookies in the room every day.

    They should inform visitors that there's no adaptor in the room and at the hotel generally. Never understood how someone can use the shower, we had to fill the bathtub every time.

    6EliziaPosted on: 2-17-2026

    The location was very good, only a few minutes walks to two tube stations.

    Our room on the 7th floor was truly outdated and we had to ask for an electric heater to be placed on our room because there was no central heating. The elevator broke down on our second day and it took three days to be repaired.

    5LauraPosted on: 2-17-2026

    It was ok. A bit tired looking, but all clean and was alright for a 1 night stay

    Could do with a lift with the property overall.

    7KurtPosted on: 2-16-2026

    The hotel was very clean with well presented staff. The hotel is in a good Location which was easy to find and about a 10 minute walk from st Pancras station. Nearest tube station Russell square. Surrounding the hotel were plenty of places to eat, drink and convenience shopping.The room was very clean, it also had facilities to make tea and coffee.

    Great location, clean, breakfast.

    Lady that booked us in was disinterested, on her phone, mumbling, felt like it was an effort to help us. Room was tatty but clean.

    10FionaPosted on: 2-11-2026

    The breakfast was delicious and had plenty of variety. The beds were comfortable and the rooms had plenty of storage and facilities.

    There was a bar/club too close which kept us awake. Even when it closed, drunk people hung around and kept waking us up.

    Facilities was very good and bed so comfortable good night sleep and staff was Soo lovely definitely recommend good night sleep here

    8DaniPosted on: 2-11-2026

    We were greeted by very pleasant staff.

    The room was a bit tatty and there were lots of patches filled in with silicon. Also smelt a bit of bad drains.

    9BronwenPosted on: 2-11-2026

    The room was clean, location quiet, and it was in a very good location for us, price was not bad either. All in all i would stay again and recommend to others

    nothing all was good

    10SamanthaPosted on: 2-10-2026

    Like thistle for the facility and location

    Some disrepair and the service a little lapse but generally ok.

    7BellringerPosted on: 2-10-2026

    The cleanliness of the room, the helpfulness of all staff

    The room was a little too crampedThere was no hotel bar

    9JanetPosted on: 2-9-2026

    Friendly,professional staff.Spotlessly clean and beautiful room . Excellent location for a West end trip .

    Maybe the lift is a tad small , however I understand it’s an older building and there probably isn’t another option.
