Shame stayed at better .

Not wheelchair friendly but that is on us we didn't check. But beware of that . Hotel is a bit tired or dated needs updating. Breakfast is neither good or bad food seems good quality but ironically bland and the location for breakfast is also bland. Peanut's on floor by bed and quite dusty, so cleaning needs work . Bed was comfy. You have the opportunity to forgo room cleaning if staying 2or more nights and get a £7 voucher for piccadilly costa.which we tried thinking that you would just be given it after putting the appropriate sign on your door .However it seems to work on dont ask for your voucher tou dont get it . Overall not a bad hotel but not great either and having stayed in at least 5 hotels in Leicester Square and more in surrounding area for the same money threre is better, which is a shame because location is great . Also other hotels in the square have shame sort of entrance but have managed to put in a wheelchair lift.

A good location to stay for Leicester Square. The hotel reminds me of Travelodge. Ie basic, however, useful. The date I stayed was reasonably priced so it was good value for money. I would prefer to stay somewhere more comfortable, but the location, again, can't be beaten.

We only stayed one night, but the hotel bedrooms were very clean with plenty of towels. The position of the hotel is excellent for walking to the theatre. The reception staff were very friendly and efficient. We are going to London twice more this year and will definitely stay at the Thistle Hotel in Piccadilly.
