Even if this property is not a 5*, it is a very good 4* for the following reasons: clean, small rooms but has everything you need including a good hair dryer. 2 minutes walk from the British Museum, literally!! Restaurants all around or less than 7 min walk. Bus stop right in front of the hotel! Great service, they do everything they can to accommodate their clients. Good English vibe. My only concern: carpet in the room (I personally don't like it) but it was clean so no complaint. Restaurant a little pricy but no need to book breakfast there, go the the Drury or Breakfast club near by. Overall very good for the price, you wont regret.

The Thistle Holborn was a great place to stay while visiting London. The room was a great size as I shared it with my husband and 13 year old son. We had a king bed and he had the pull out, which he said was soooooo comfortable! Staff was amazing and so friendly and helpful. The free breakfast in the morning was also very good and easy. Great, central location. Walkable to Covent Gardens, Wellington atea and The Strand. Underground was also convenient:-) thanks for a wonderful stay!

Basic Accomodation, sadly two single beds as sold out. Large square shower head exploded onto my head as water pressure too strong and far too hot water- could be scolded. Shared my concerns and shower was mended but I was checking out so didn’t use again, had to shower with low placed hand held. No discount offered or anything to compensate my single bed or shower which was disappointing. Breakfast ok. Attentive staff, nice bar and festive decor.

There was like warm water for the shower in the morning. Would have appreciated it a bit hotter especially on a freezing cold day. You can hear the guests in the other rooms talking if you don’t have a tv or other device on in your own room. Staff were professional and kind.
