The best hotel to access Londons main tourist attractions. We got the London City pass and there is a bus stop a block south of the hotel. Where we were able to make the most of our pass.

Very comfortable with friendly and helpful staff. Great location in Central London. Just a couple of blocks from Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. Could use more storage space in room and bathroom. Breakfast was great.
4-night trip

10/10

Very good option in the West End. We were relocated to Thistle Piccadilly due to maintenance issue where we originally booked. That was seamless (issue emerged hours before our scheduled check-in). Good room, fine amenities, including Nespresso and Tea service in-room. Clear focus on reducing ecological impact.

8/10

The staff were lovely and attentive. The hotel was fine and whilst not luxury there was nothing wrong with it, clean had what we needed, reasonable breakfast but the location was fantastic and ideal. Would definitely stay there again. We don’t go away to stay in the hotel anyway.

4/10

The rooms have a terrible mildew smell. The bed linens were never changed in a six day stay. Housekeeping never once removed ice buckets that we had to get from the bar and bring to our room ourselves. The glass in the bathroom was never cleaned or replaced.

Comfortable and perfectly located.

Position for central London was perfect. Straight into the nightlife and theatres within 200 yds. 1/4 mile from St James and a 3/4 mile from Westminster.

2-night trip

8/10

A nice centrally located hotel. Staff was very helpful, more so than any other hotel we have stayed. Dining at the hotel is pretty much nonexistent, but the food was good when we tried it. Bathroom was small and toilet area even smaller Location was excellent. We would stay here again.
