    "I have stayed in this Hotel for a number of years now and like its convenience to both Picadilly at the top of the street and Leicester Square at the bottom of the street. Because it is situated in a side street there is no noise outside and thus makes for a good nights sleep.The beds are comfortable and firm.The food is well prepared and tasty. The staff are helpful and friendly.This is a good value for money hotel and we always enjoy out stay." (97675232)

    Central location but very quiet. The staff are friendly and efficient.

    "Really good" (107114586)

    Overall, we were delighted with the hotel, and the staff were lovely, extremely helpful.

    The only thing which was disappointing was breakfast on our second (and last) morning. There was not nearly enough hot food and everyone was having to go to and from the buffet for one item at a time as it came through, which made for a very strange meal. Breakfast the first morning was brilliant, though!

    well placed in central london, breakfast good. staff helpful and hotel kept clean .

    rooms small and had to ask for room with air con as not all rooms have this, confirm this when you are booking. Staff gave us a room with air con without any problems.

    Check-in staff were very good and curteous, good location for westend..

    Room service was not good, had to chase breakfast, when it arrived orange juices were apple juices (apparently they ran out!!!) and two teas were only one tea, croissants were stale. Only one barman at the bar during busy evening..

    The location. Comfortable beds.

    Very poor quality for a four star hotel. Room was very small and breakfast was not included which is incredible seeing as we paid £200 for the room. Peolple checking in on the day had cheaper rooms with breakfast included. Service was very slow we waited over 2 hours for replenishment of our tea and coffee supplies and left before they arrived.

    The room was clean, the beds very comfortable, the air conditioning system, which in the summer is a boon and other hotels do not have this.

Although there was a window that opened it was too noisy outside to try and sleep with it open and therefore I had to sweat instead. Bathroom cramped and also dated but adequate. Other people's doors slammed really loudly although this seems a problem in most hotels." (3304890662)

    "Location of this hotel is good being just off the square itself. Rooms are OK, clean, good decor etc. No fridge and quite small, but still OK. Queue for checkin a no no (15 minutes! - 1 memeber of staff). Food was to die for, literally, it was horrible. I'd read a couple of reviews before going so new to body swerve the breakfast, but 1st night took the easy option of dinner in the hotel and regretted it. My advice, for breakfast, head straight across the street to Orsini's Sandwhich place. They were very friendly and all food looks quality. Their ciabatta's were exceptional and great value for money. For dinner, there are tons on places very close by. The best I tried was the Tex Mex place and the bottom of the street to the right (don't remember the name, great fajita's)" (3304446062)

    "I should have been told that there was no heating - I would not have booked Thistle. In 2006 in London I find this unacceptable." (3304328820)

    The location is very good, easy access to most places, enjoyed the walks very much

    I have kept the newspapers weather section for the two nights my friend and I stayed at Thistle and it was zero degrees overnight. There is no heating at all on floor 4 - it was extremely cold in the room, which made sleeping very difficult - I did try many times to turn the heating up as I had not been told that there was no heating. On the second night a porter installed a small heater in the room which did help. The hotel gave me a discount on the price but obviously this did not make up for the cold experience.Very disappointed with Thistle although I have stayed many times before obviously only in the summer

    The room was clean. The location was very good.

    We expected an environment which we could use the internet, but it turned out they only had 1 PC in the lounge that was not accessible at the moment most needed. The staff were incapable of adjusting the PC environment. It would not be considered a preferable environment for a business stay.

    "Overall, good value. Well sited for theatreland, with easy connections to all other tourist attractions. Check in was unfortunate. As we arrived early, we did not expect the room to be ready and where asked to return at 14.00. We returned at nearly 15.00, but room still not ready. Receptionist dealt with the problem very efficiently, but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Would certainly return to this hotel again." (2721010)

    Ideally located for both theatres and museums. Rooms where of good size, nicely furnished, well equipped and clean.

    Breakfast Area is too small for the number of potential customers that might require service in the same period of time. Food Breakfast catering.Always running out of things, plates, fruit juices (which was poor quality) and fried eggs like rubber

    "Don't expect a fast check-in or check-out; the hotel is seriously understaffed so it took 15 minutes each time. If you wish to complain then don't hold your breath for a duty manager; I waited over 30 minutes only to get a junior member of staff (they couldn't find the duty manager). The room was shabby and in serious need of some paint. The bed was lumpy and hard. The whole of floor 4 had a rather unpleasant smell. Avoid." (2879652)

    They had one person on reception when I was checking in and out. Consequently I was kept waiting 15 minutes each time. Get more staff

    I must say that the overall attitude of the staff was poor, there was little or no service , ie no help with bags or calling of taxis, we were travelling with a small child and would have appreciated a bit basic service,.I visit uk several times a year from Canada, and will probably not use this hotel again.

    "We stayed both Thristle Victoria & Trafalgar Square Hotel during our holidays in UK. When compared, Thristle Trafalgar Square is a modern & clean hotel with friendly & helpful hotel staff (Special thanks to Ms Elisabete Correia). With the convenient location, we can go to the shopping areas (Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street, Regent Street), dinning areas, including China Town, as well as the attractions, within walking distance. Of course, you can also take the bus or tube (subway) easily. We would like to recommend this hotel to leisure travellers, especially from Hong Kong." (2806411)

    A modern hotel with very convenient location and easy access to the most of the attractons.

    It'll create a better & more friendly feelings if all hotel staff can take the initiative to say, Good morning or Good evening to their hotel guest. Perhaps, it is due to the culture difference between UK & countries in Asia.

    "Having stayed at this hotel before, we chose it again because of its central location. The rooms generally are small, but we were lucky to get an upgrade. Although the room was no smoking, it HAD been a smoking room at some point and the smell was still there, but I don't suppose there's a lot can be done about that. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would go back." (2841226)

    For a London Hotel, the room was spacious. The hotel is very centrally located being only 100 yards from both Leicester and Trafalgar Squares, but not on a main street so hence no traffic noise.

    Definitely the breakfast situation. If you did not arrive early for breakfast then you had to join the queuing system.
