Great location but hot water issues
Everything about our stay was great, however we had one big issue - lack of hot water. We stayed for 2 nights and there was no hot water on both mornings. It came on after about 30mins on one day, but didn't at all on the next. As this was our check out day, we had to ask for an alternative room just to have showers. Staff were very friendly and location was great, but the hot water issues took away from our experience.

The receptionist Yin was very friendly and professional. She greated us with a smile and answered any questions we had. Yin also allowed us to check in early so we could dump our bags which was very helpful.

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
First room was awful: meant for someone with a wheelchair… spoke to reception and they changed my room to much nicer one. Good size, nice bathroom. Happy

Highly recommend
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.
