Great location

The staff were very professional and friendly. Our room was small but adequate. The decor is rather bland.. However, the location is excellent and it represents good value for money.

Just another mass market tourist hotel

Room was cramped although decently equipped. Breakfast 'service' non-existant - all self service. Poor selection of cereals. Dining room tired with cheap furniture. Have stayed in better 'budget' hotels to be honest. Everything wad 'ok', but this one fails to stand out or be memorable in amongst all the mass market tourist hotels of London

Thistle Bloomsbury

Have stayed her previously and although rooms are in need of being updated, were always a decent size and perfect for what we needed location wise. I booked the same room as always, double room, not a small double, but this time we were given a tiny room, which i knew would be as was in a corner between 2 other rooms. The heat in the room was awful, i couldn't sleep, bathroom was tiny and could not move, definetly not the rooms we'd had on the previous 2 occassions. I booked a few weeks in advance but the only difference was i didn't book direct and feel we were penalised due to this as they offered an upgrade and kept emailing me this all week, but of course I'd have to pay. I used a blue light code for 12% off but they offer 25% on their own Thistle website so feel it was really not fair and we certainly wont be staying here again as this room wss awful and should really be priced as a small double. The shower was also not fit for purpsoe as even when standing in it the shower tray was filling up and nearly flowing over into the bathroom. Quite disheartened as we have stayed before and chose this over another hotel we regularly stay at due to the discount.
