"Second time here "
Rooms were freezing cold . Didn`t have enough room always going to put one person on there own when we booked four rooms.. lift broke I`m disabled and lift broke and we`re were in 7th floor and had to take our suitcases down alot of flights of stairs no help from the staff. No heating just small heaters. Tried to charge my friend twice for breakfast but she had paid on her card

"One of the most modern hotels I have ever stayed"
I have already reviewed the hotel on TripAdvisor but it`s lovely and modern with very comfortable beds. And one of the best showers I have ever used. The TV in the rooms are huge with plenty of storage. The hotel includes tea and coffee facilities as well as complementary water, a Safe in the room, hairdryer and ironing board

"Well placed to enjoy London and Theatreland."
Ten minute walk from Euston Station, with lots restaurants nearby. We had a room at the back of the hotel, and very quiet which was good, as Southampton Row is a very busy thoroughfare from early morning until late at night. Room was clean, and the beds comfortable, with good bathroom with excellent shower. Only complaint was that there was no chair in the room. Mentioned this to reception, and was told they did not have any to put in.

"Thistle Bloomsbury Hotel"
The hotel is clean comfortable and ideal for getting around London sightseeing .. the beds are comfortable but the family room sofa bed could be better. The shower is compact but powerful.. staff are helpful , the street is very busy making it hard to sleep due to the noise

Arrived a little early but our room was ready. We was on the 7th floor which was fine. We got into the room and it was clean bathroom was lovely carpet wasnt that clean side table etc all the wood was crumbled was very disappointed that the bed never had no quilt or blanket we had a bed sheet, the amount of money you pay for these rooms for 1 night we should have had a warmer blanket.

"Ideal location"
The hotel was ideally located a short walk from the railway station and easily walkable to London`s theatreland and other central London attractions, with 2 underground stations in close proximity and a variety of local food outlets for meals. The staff were universally welcoming and helpful. Rooms were clean, warm, comfortable, breakfast choices good and room rate was excellant for the location.
