"Thistle Trafalgar Square"

The hotel couldn`t be better situated for central London, Hotel staff were all very helpful and friendly. It was my sisters 40th Birthday and they surprised her with a lovely bottle of wine, chocolates and a birthday card waiting for her in our room. Rooms, really good size, very clean and beds very comfortable, the Shower was amazing, the breakfast was lovely too, lots of choice and tasty. Will be staying here again. Thank you to all the staff we met during our stay.

"Tiny rooms excellent location"

Friendly staff but what a tiny room! Hotel is clean and comfortable and is perfectly situated but doesn`t warrant the star rating.

"Thistle Trafalgar square"

The Thistle hotel is clean, impressive and very reasonably priced. It was also perfect location for where our show (Phantom of the Opera) literally just down the road. We were impressed with the politeness, helpfulness of the very smartly dressed staff. Our room was spotlessly clean and the shower was big and another bonus was that it was a walk in shower which made it easier for me to use. We ordered room service because the price was so reasonable, it actually worked out cheaper to do that than eat out. The price may have been cheap but there was plenty of food and it was delicious. Breakfast in the morning was just as good. Again the staff went out of there way to make sure we were satisfied with everything. The management of this hotel should be extremely proud of their staff. We shall be returning there next time we come to London.

"2nd time of visiting "

The hotel was great upon arrival, we where offered and accepted a free upgrade. Great Was looking to book again in the near future but at the last minute was disappointed with checkout. There was one couple in front of us and we waited our turn to check out when Lazlio interrupted the 1st couples booking in, leaned over the desk put his hand out and took our room key.. I said we would wait until he had finished as we wanted to order a taxi. Lazlio replied to us " go to the end of the the street and get one, I`m too busy". Not a great end to our lovely stay. A little disappointed

"Slightly disappointing"

Having stayed at the Thistle Trafalgar on several occasions over the past few years we were a little disappointed at this visit. Quite apart from the impact of the ongoing building works adjacent to the hotel (over which the hotel obviously has no control) there is something missing from the previous aura of relaxed but professional atmosphere of the hotel. Difficult to pinpoint,but it`s almost as if it`s just marking time until the building site next door is complete. The staff remain cheerful and as helpful as they can be, the the hotel remains busy, even with the disruption. We may well stay here in the future but it`s more likely we will stay elsewhere at the next few visits to London.

"Customer service at its best"

Had a small issue with the air con, reported it, sadly it couldn`t be sorted right away. However without any prompting the following morning we were told that because the issue couldn`t be resolve there would be no charge for our evening meal. That`s what I call first class customer service.
