"Friendly, sparkling clean, comfortable."
Exactly what you`d expect from a really good London hotel, but with the addition of a nice pool to unwind in at the end of the day.

"Clean rooms and helpful staff"
Rooms were clean, if a little tired. Try not to get a room at the back of the hotel as staff are very noisy when emptying the rubbish and glass bottles at around midnight. Kettle, coffee and tea in the room, but the coffee is very weak. Staff were very helpful

"Much better than anticipated"
The Hotel entrance is spacious and inviting, the staff on reception, despite being trainees were very pleasant and attentive. We could not check-in straight away, but our cases were taken and we elected to take refreshment from the bar. The Bar staff however were less attentive and even failed to take our order correctly. Our rooms were sufficient for our stay and the breakfast the day after more than adequate.

"Spoilt and upgraded. "
On arrival at the hotel we were early and thought we would ask if we could leave our bags in luggage store so we didn`t have to carry it around until the 2pm check in time. We were so surprised when we were told our room was ready and we had been upgraded to a suite. Our room was huge and really comfortable. We also added breakfast for the duration of our stay. This was very tasty with lots on offer. After returning to our suite on the first day. There was a knock at the door and my husband was presented with an ice bucket containing Prosecco and two glasses to say happy birthday. We didn`t expect this at all. Thank you Thistle our stay was amazing.

Toilet in room didn`t work. Main bar closed earlier than I would have expected and they also told me that the kitchen was closed. This was around 11pm. They said I could order room service which would suggest the kitchen wasn`t closed.
