2-night trip

10/10

Very good option in the West End. We were relocated to Thistle Piccadilly due to maintenance issue where we originally booked. That was seamless (issue emerged hours before our scheduled check-in). Good room, fine amenities, including Nespresso and Tea service in-room. Clear focus on reducing ecological impact.

Very comfortable with friendly and helpful staff. Great location in Central London. Just a couple of blocks from Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. Could use more storage space in room and bathroom. Breakfast was great.

The staff were lovely and attentive. The hotel was fine and whilst not luxury there was nothing wrong with it, clean had what we needed, reasonable breakfast but the location was fantastic and ideal. Would definitely stay there again. We don’t go away to stay in the hotel anyway.

Check in was quick and the desk agent was wonderful. The room was bigger than expected and comfortable. The room was clean and did not smell. This location is down a quiet street behind the National Gallery. Very quick walk to Picadilly Circus Underground. Took us 1hr on the underground from Heathrow. I will stay here again the next time we visit London Center.
