We were booked into the Thistle London and were moved to a sister location due to overbooking. We were in a disability room that was awkward for us to use sink and the shower did not drain properly.

I stayed at this hotel for 8 nights during a work trip to London and had a wonderful experience. It’s in the heart of the city and tourist area, yet quiet and relaxing—perfect after a long day. It was also very close to my office. The staff were fantastic, especially Malik and Khadijah, who were warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout my stay. My family joined me for the last four days, and they loved it too. Highly recommend, especially for colleagues traveling to our London office. I’ll definitely be back!

Great value

Picked this hotel based upon its location and value because we were in London for one brief night at the end of a trip. The other nights we purposely chose to stay in nicer hotels. Upon arrival, they upgraded us to a junior suite without our asking. It had the best hot water supply, a comfortable shower space and showerhead, the nicest towels (although still not as plush/soft as I use at home). I was also happy to have use of a robe. The room was clean. Staff were friendly and allowed us a delayed checkout. The negatives- the furniture and fixtures were worn and chipped. Still on balance, if you're looking for value this was absolutely worth it

If you're in London to see theatre you're surrounded by it here. West End theatres are down the block. Trafalgar Square and St Martin in the Fields are in easy walking distance. The bed is comfortable. The shower floor is EXTREMELY SLIPPERY. A shower mat is available but not actually in your room. One thing we appreciated is if you opt out of daily housekeeping they give you a coupon that will cover a flat white and croissant at the coffee shop next door.

Location, location, location!

Location is exceptional for exploring London. We actually watched a movie premier from our room window for the new Marvels movie, and all the celebrity red carpet. Chinatown is a block away, the tube system is a few blocks away. Everything is within close proximity.

Quiet oasis between Leicester Square & Piccadilly

You can't better the location... the front door is at Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus is nearby. What is remarkable is that the windows are sealed in a way that keeps the city noise out of your room. We could sit in our room and watch the hustle and bustle outside our window, and the room was quiet. Our room was larger than expected for a city hotel. There is a Costa Coffee shop next door, so breakfast and snacks were convenient. An ideal location for theatre-going.
The hotel is behind the clock in Leicester Square.
