Friendly, welcoming & accommodating staff, the room was generally clean however the bathroom could have done with a little more attention, big comfortable bed in the executive room, quiet internally but a bit of road noise for usual London traffic, however we were on the corner at the front of the hotel. Breakfast was buffet but well priced & well catered for. Hotel was able to store our luggage while we attended a stage show, we could collect much later on that evening despite checking out earlier that same day, all for no extra charge. A lovely experience all things considered, we will likely be back.

I stayed at Thistle Holborn in January 2025 for a long work trip of three weeks. This hotel is ideal for those who would like a walkable experience of London--it is in the very center of the city (Holborn/Bloomsbury) and a five-minute walk to two major tube stops. The hotel is clean and well-run, and the staff is immensely helpful. The breakfast buffet in the hotel is very good. Overall, this is a fantastic, central location for any first time visitor of London.

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!
