The Thistle Holborn was a great place to stay while visiting London. The room was a great size as I shared it with my husband and 13 year old son. We had a king bed and he had the pull out, which he said was soooooo comfortable! Staff was amazing and so friendly and helpful. The free breakfast in the morning was also very good and easy. Great, central location. Walkable to Covent Gardens, Wellington atea and The Strand. Underground was also convenient:-) thanks for a wonderful stay!

Perfect end to my vacation!
It was a wonderful place to stay. Very clean and convenient to everything especially the bus route. The front desk was always very friendly and helpful. Room was bigger than I thought it would be. Loved the Christmas decorations. Will definitely stay here again!

2nd room was lovely

We had a brief family trip and our stay was very pleasant. Very easy check in and check out. The breakfast was hearty and convenient. The bar in the lobby is very handy. A perfect location for our needs. I would certainly choose to stay here again.

Christmas party
Twin room was ok. Very small and shower over the bath so not ideal. Dreary view out of the window. Staff were excellent, all friendly and smiling. Sadly no hash browns for breakfast, needless to say that did not taint the stay.

Basic Accomodation, sadly two single beds as sold out. Large square shower head exploded onto my head as water pressure too strong and far too hot water- could be scolded. Shared my concerns and shower was mended but I was checking out so didn’t use again, had to shower with low placed hand held. No discount offered or anything to compensate my single bed or shower which was disappointing. Breakfast ok. Attentive staff, nice bar and festive decor.
