Fantastic location

We were in room 630, huge bed, good bathroom. We also paid to have the breakfast, good selection available, being refreshed. So close to both Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square.

Disappointed

Room was small and noisy from deliveries outside. Not as shown in the picture. Needs an update. Breakfast was buffet style and even at 07:00 could have been hotter.

The rooms were tired and the windows covered in condensation and some black mould on the secondary glazing. Its a shame because if Thistle invested some cash it would be a great hotel.

Great location but room was so small and narrow

The location is fantastic just a short walk to Leicester Square. The woman welcomed us when we checked in, very friendly. Our room was disappointing. It was very small. I booked a double bed but ours was full sized. To get to the other side of the bed, I had to squeeze myself between the foot of the bed and the tv. Not a good place to put a tv. The bed was alright not that comfortable. The shower was great but the bathroom needed some updates it was small as well. I was surprised there were no usb ports anywhere. Our view was ok. We had drinks at the bar and asked the server if it was 2 for £20 cocktails which he said no. But there was a poster in the lift so it was a bit annoying. Apart from the disappointment of the room, I would probably stay here again because of the location.
