"Staff here are amazing"

We stayed at the hotel for one night only but had the most wonderful experience. The staff made the stay so very special, nothing was too much trouble, they were so friendly and chatty, they went over and above with their attentiveness. We actually had no hot water in the morning, this was unfortunate but again the staff smoothed this over and ensured that we had a partial refund to ensure that we were compensated.

"Lovely hotel, great position but customer service needs attention."

Hotel room and bathroom were great, comfortable beds, beautiful towels and bathrobes.Breakfast was plentiful with good quality products.Rating is not `excellent` due to the fact that our triple room wasn`t serviced correctly-towels missing, tea/coffee/water not replenished then when we requested the missing products, the attitude from the staff was not what we`d expect from a good hotel, making us feel we were causing a problem.The room, bed, towels, cleaanliness and breakfast were all fantastic, however.

"Friendly, Central and Good Quality"

The Friendly Staff are a real asset to this lovely hotel which is ideally located for visiting London theatre land and central London. A special word of thanks to Nakita & Umama. The room was lovely but difficult to heat and external windows suffered from mould due to condensation and we were unable to operate the shower properly despite requesting assistance.. The bed was very comfortable and the room well furnished. We had lunch in the restaurant; it was very tasty and reasonably priced.

"Very enjoyable stay "

This was the first time I had stayed at the Thistle Holborn, I was impressed. The hotel is housed in a lovely looking victorian building. I stayed in an executive king room which was clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff that I spoke to were also friendly and helpful. I`d certainly stay here again.

"A little disappointing"

Not a particularly nice room. It looked out onto blank walls and had a very closed in feel. I had the feeling that we were two women (mother and daughter) there for one night and could be palmed off with a sub-standard room. Bathroom toiletries particularly ungenerous. But the room was clean and we had a decent breakfast. The hotel is also well situated and the staff were friendly and efficient.

"Thistle Holborn."

Hotel was very good. Check in was smooth and quick. Room was good and comfy bed. Bathroom slightly tired but functional. Breakfast was excellent. Staff were all very attentive and helpful, especially at reception. I`d recommend the Thistle Holborn as a choice for a weekend in London. Very close to theatreland.

"Restaurant too Busy to Serve Us."

Bed comfy. We booked this hotel theatre break planning to eat in the hotel restaurant. They were too busy with a function to serve us within an hour and a half of the show despite telling us at reception just to turn up in the evening.

"Lovely stay at the Thistle hotel Holborn. "

Ideal location , close to Covent garden , Tottenham Court Road, and Oxford Street, as well as other attractions. Rooms clean and well set out , ideal for short break , breakfast plenty of choice. The staff made you feel welcome, nothing was too much trouble , we had afternoon tea at the hotel which was excellent. Reception staff attentive, thankyou to artimir for all his help , maurizio the manager who is wonderful and a big thankyou to Rabin on the bar who also made our stay . Although the bar is a little pricey. But overall it is a lovely hotel. And we would definitely go back.

"A great stay"

The hotel was a nice surprise. The location was great, and room was amazing. We had a corner suite and so much room. The king size bed was a real treat and we even had complimentary prosecco which was lovely as this was booked for a special birthday treat. I want to stay again.
