The Kingsley is a warm and welcoming hotel. The staff are always helpful. It`s location is ideal for those visiting the West End. The breakfast is highly recommended and real value for money. The Kingsley enhances the experience of visitors to London.

"Fantastic stay"

I cannot praise the staff at Thistle Holborn enough. All the staff went out of their way to make us feel overly welcome and were so so friendly. The hotel itself is in an ideal location for Oxford Street, all the theatres and Covent Garden. You can easily walk to everything. Can`t recommend this hotel enough and will definitely be staying there again. Thank you Thistle Holborn!

"Really great location for West End shows"

Nice hotel. Good room, clean and attractive. Single glass pane windows meant street noise woke us a few times. The room was too hot, even though we turned the system down.

When we got back to our room about 10.30 p.m. the room was very cold. We tried to increase the heating, but all we got from the system, was cold air. As we were tired, we did not call for an engineer, but went straight to bed. When we got up in the morning, it was exactly the same. As we went down to breakfast, every area we passed through was pleasantly warm. So it must have been a problem with our room, or perhaps the wing of the hotel in which were staying. Other than that, the hotel was very good. All staff were very proficient, and breakfast was excellent.

"Room ok. Service poor."

We arrived about 3pm. The desk was unmanned and we had to wait a good 5 minutes before anyone came. When we got back at 10:30 we went to the bar to buy some bottled water to take to our room (actually you would think at this price they might leave some in the room). Again the the bar was unmanned and again we waited 5 or more minutes before we just gave up.

When list due to poor directions it took two members of staff to guide us. NHS`s they listened more carefully it wouldn`t have been so stressful. Customer relations is poor cos even after the manager agreed the directions were shocking he offered nothing to compensate. Not a complimentary drink/ breakfast. Good manners go a long way

"Great Bloomsbury hotel"

We love this hotel and will probably use it again if we are in this bit of London (the only thing that would stop us would be finding a hotel of similar quality for much less money - unlikely in central London). It`s an interesting building, convenient for Bloomsbury, the central shopping areas and the theatres and the rooms are comfortable and to a high standard. The staff are very nice and really helpful.

"A nice stay"

Lovely hotel, we had a deluxe twin room. Quite small room, beds comfy, air con wasn`t working correctly, so was warm at night. Good shower, warm towels, did not eat at the hotel due to the price so no real comment on staff. Expensive but guess that`s what you pay in London.

"Friendly and helpful staff"

The room was quiet, no noise from other guests or from outside traffic. This was a real plus, as I normally find my sleep in hotels to be disturbed by noise from both within and outside. The bed was comfortable and long enough, as a tall person this is not always the case.

"Not so good second time around!"

We asked for rooms at the back to be away from the noise. We were allocated rooms on the first floor at the fron on top of the traffic lights. Hardly slept a wink.

"Very nice indeed!"

Staff were very helpful. Small problem with confusing modern plumbing was immediately and politely dealt with--at 11:15 at night! Room excellent, comfortable and modern. Location perfect for theatre and morning getaway on the Underground. Full Breakfast buffet very welcome. Naturally pricey, but great food at the right time in the right place.

There was a problem with the room allocation which mean`t that we were kept waiting while they prepared a double room by moving the beds. I believe the room was an upgrade.The hotel staff were very apologetic and we we were offered a free drink as compensation.

"Comfortable Hotel"

On the whole pleased with my stay, but there was no hot water on Saturday and London grime needs hot water! When I rang housekeeping they sounded irritated that I asked politely when there would be hot water. A rather perfunctory apology was offered.

"Great hotel!"

Very welcoming, lovely communal areas and the room was very clean and comfortable. They also went the extra mile by meeting my request for rooms close to each other for us and our friends and they also recognised my husband`s birthday. They couldn`t have done more.
