Thistle London Piccadilly

Don't let the tiny Reception fool you: this hotel punches above its weight. We stayed for fifteen nights in midsummer. Incredible location on Leicester Square and within a short walk to Piccadilly Circus and Regent Street plus not far from Trafalgar Square. A taxi rank is on the opposite corner. Food stores, pubs and restaurants, including McDonald's, are nearby and so are many West End theatres (and the official ticket office). Rooms are reasonably sized, quiet, well-appointed and efficiently served with comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. Lifts (elevators) come quickly and work well. Breakfast is simple but more than satisfactory. Staff-members are friendly, helpful and eager to please. Laundry service was a little expensive but was quick and effective. Highly recommended.

Really nice hotel with comfortable rooms and an incredible location pretty much in front of m&ms. I stayed here for 3 nights and had great sleep, along with kind staff and service. Check-in and check-out was seamless. Rooms were clean as well as silent despite it being in front of a generally crowded area. Only thing someone might have to worry about is that accessibility isn’t too high, because to enter the hotel you need to go up some steps twice.

Our group rented 4 rooms in this hotel. The air conditioning was not working in three of them. The shower cabin was leaking. The price was 4 stars, the standard was two stars. On the plus side: excellent location, comfortable bed, possibility of an earlier start to the hotel day.
