Good place to stay for easy public transportation and it was safe. We weren’t able to check in at the 3:00pm check in time because our room wasn’t ready. We didn’t mind but there were other guests very unhappy.

Thistle Trafalgar... Not the best

Paid extra for a "deluxe" room for a little bit of luxury. When we arrived we were given an accessible room, which, although was fine was anything but luxurious. When a shower was attempted in the wet room there was no hot water and the water was just dribbling out of the shower head. Complained to the staff who didn't really say a lot. Eventually managed to get transferred to another hotel across London. Staff arranged taxi which took over an hour to arrive despite continually telling us it was 5 mins away. We ended up checking into the Thistle at Marble Arch at around midnight which was 10x nicer than the Trafalgar Square one. Not exactly the most relaxing of experiences for a night away.

We were put in a room with a broken ac. We had flown all night and it took them 2 hours to put us in a room. They kept sending different maintenance people up. It was clear that it did not work. Finally they gave us a nice room but I had to be stern about it. The hotel was lovely the front desk were to. The house service was not good.we
