"Comfortable clean hotel"
we had a very comfortable stay at this hotel. Friendly staff who were informative. We could have researched the location from hotel to the theatre better as it was a couple of tube rides away! Then we saw a Thistle hotel in Piccadilly! However we would stay there again.

"Warm welcome & helpful staff"
Well equiped mid priced hotel, a little way from the nearest tube stations if you want the west end & the sights but efficient check in / check out and very helpful staff made the stay a pleasant one.

"Lovely stay - will be returning "
Hotel went all out to make the start of our honeymoon special - processco, flowers, balloons, upgrade and 2 free breakfasts. Staff were really friendly - unfortunately didn`t get any names! My partner and I both said we`d love to stay again. One very slight let down was the fire alarm tests on the Monday morning when we were trying to relax. I understand these legal requirement but perhaps after check out would be better or just a heads up on check in. - thank you for a lovely stay!

"Deluxe room was a box room by the service lifts"
A Christmas treat which was to be honest a disappointment. Our deluxe room wasnt...We ordered room service which was good but our room was constantly crashed n bashed with service doors I expected better for over £300 for two night break..shame id hoped more from a thistle hotel.

"Thistle Barbican"
We were not too worried about the fact that the room was no bigger than a large rabbit hutch as it was clean and we were only there to sleep. That unfortunately was made very difficult as we had a large generator outside our window which kept me awake for most of the night.

"positives and negatives"
welcome reception, efficient and clean. Room clean well serviced and fit for purpose. Pool, sauna, steam leisure area filthy, uncomfortable in fear of it being germ riddled , steam vent very dangerous, pool lane separator disgustingly dirty, floor mopping debris around, no jacuzzi! Left to go out of hotel, came back to collect bags, turned the corner , 4ft pain of glass fell from 4th floor onto pavement...lucky to be alive!!! had train to catch, went on our way shocked but happy to be alive.
Lovely stay - will be return...
