"Genuinely surprised at how good it was."
After reading lots of negative comments I was worried, but honestly I stay in hotels a lot and this is a nice hotel. Bed huge and comfortable with decent pillows, good sized clean room, powerful and hot shower in a clean bathroom, with a very tiny amount of black mould on a few areas of grout, not enough to male you feel ick. Friendly and helpful desk staff, good breakfast just missing hash browns! But otherwise tasty and plentiful. Right in the middle of everything you want to see in London too. Recommended

"Brilliant dtay"
Hotel was clean and comfortable, the perfect pit stop. Breakfast was delicious.The aftercare let it down, I left some clothing behind and they wouldn`t send it to me even though I was paying . This lack of care would put me off staying again

"Excellent location, fabulous staff, rooms are a bit tired (especially the bathrooms)"
The location and staff were excellent and extremely helpful. The room was ok with a nice large bed and plenty of space. The bathroom was very small, very tired looking with cracked basins and wasn`t very clean. Apart from that it was ok.

"Good location"
Very close to some of the theatres. It was clean and although the room was small, we were only staying overnight so that was okay and it had a large television and a nice bathroom. Only complaint is that we had checked twice before we went to the theatre to make sure they would still be doing food when we returned and were assured the bar menu was served until 11.00pm. However, what they should have told us is the only food they provide between 10.00pm and 11.00pm is pizza. I would still stay again if going to the theatre though, because it is a decent hotel.

"Great service, and happy helpful staff"
Front of house staff were well presented, polite and very helpful. We had a short wait for our room as they upgraded us. We were made to feel welcome and given a courtesy drink whilst they finished getting the room ready. The room was clean and presentable. Top job xx

"Very noisy all through the night. Also cooked breakfast was cold."
The only thing that was good about our stay was the staff. Extremely helpful at all times , can`t fault them. Noisy hotel with very average cooked breakfast.

"Small bedrooms"
We should have asked to be moved to a larger room for a 3 night stay, but we Brits don`t like to make a fuss. A standard double is too small for any extended stay, with virtually no storage space other than coathangers etc. But we coped, and the staff were all very obliging

"unresolved complaint"
hotel was overall nice, room wasn`t overly big but big enough for requirements. desk with plenty of plugs although no plug near bed. extra pillows, ironing board and decent hairdryer were a plus. our only problem was the toilet was not flushing away correctly, had to flush 4 or 5 times. we complained several times and each time we`re told someone had sorted it (whilst we were out) but it just continued with the same problem. we expressed our dissatisfaction again on leaving, for the fourth time, and said that the room should be taken out of action until actually fixed but I doubt this happened. room 401 in case anyone has the same problem with the room, ask to be moved immediately if you do as they don`t sort the problem.

"Enjoyable Stay"
We had a wonderful time at Thistle Trafalgar as a family of 3 with a little toddler. The staff were all welcoming and polite. Great breakfast, spacious room and enjoyed the complimentary drinks. It`s the perfect location being so close to the the Christmas markets, shopping and tube stations. Definitely recommend.

"Great location "
Overall the hotel was good just a couple of things we had an executive room the bathroom was very small no tea making facilities there was a coffee pod machine but no sugar or milk not a lot of good for us as we are tea drinkers breakfast was good we were unable to get a taxi to come to the hotel so always had to go and hail a cab with this hotel your paying for the location more than the hotel itself
