The Thistle is the best. The staff were incredibly helpful at every turn. The rooms, for London, was large and modern. The breakfast cannot be beat. The location is perfect. We will stay there again.

The hotel condition is really bad. Sink and toilet was not working well. We spend more than $200 per night. It is not worth.

Booked a superior room, which turned out to be very small with almost no shelves or drawers to unpack. On complaint, we were upgraded, at no cost, to a very comfortable junior suite. It had everything we needed, at a very high quality level. Staff were all very pleasant and accommodating. For those visiting the central London entertainment district, there could not be a more convenient location. Many theatres and museums are within walking distance.

Great location, near subway stop that goes directly to and from Heathrow Airport. Nice room size. We had wonderful views out of our windows, however a new hotel is being built right beside it that will probably block some of the view. Air conditioning worked well. Highly recommend this hotel.
