Wonderful hotel. Great location Easy walking distance from the Underground station at Tower Hill (even pulling suitcases). Get to Westminster area via underground or bus from Tower Hill stop. Borough Market easy walk across the bridge or take the bus. Our second stay at this hotel & would stay again. Easy access to Heathrow Airport via Underground or Gatwick or Stansted via train & underground. Rooms are great & all rooms have bathtubs. Plenty of outlets & USB ports.

Not really a Thistle, wjich I guess explains everything. Room was hot after maintenance turned off AC due to horrible noise, TV turned itself off frequently. Furnishings old and dirty. And never want staff to lie to me, but several did.

Great location, rooms were fine, not super updated or anything but adequate. There was some roof construction going on that started pretty early in the morning so just something to be aware of.
