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.

The best location possible and a relatively quiet and safe place. Staff a bit indifferent - fine but not overly helpful or welcoming plus some confusion over our booking that wasn’t handled brilliantly but would still definitely stop here again
