Stayed at the Thistle on a theatre break for our anniversary. Wasn't sure what to expect but was not disappointed. The hotel has undergone a refurbishment and the rooms were spacious and furnished to a high standard. Great location - 10-15 min walk to covent garden and nearby theatres and 5 mins to the British Museum. There are also various... more

Service when we arrived was very efficient and the staff were very polite and helpful. The room was one of the best i have stayed in it's very modern and trendy with a good size LCD telly. The only slight let down was the windows did not open and as the weather was very mild for the time of year... more

I stayed at the Kingsley in March with my mom and Aunt for Sring Break in March 2009. I have been to London several times but this was the best trip. The hotel is walking distance to the tube and shopping. I love shopping on Oxford Street and I could walk to Oxford from the hotel. Of course you can... more

We go to London a couple of times each year and are accustomed to very disappointing hotels with tiny rooms. The Kingsley was a complete exception although I suspect we had a room upgrade. The hotel was recently refurbished in an impressive boutique style using very high quality fittings, our room was excellent with a huge comfy bed, flat screen... more

Only stayed for one night, but was very impressed with quality of staff, service and room. Ideally located, close to tube stations, and close to theatreland, the main reason for our stay. Room was ideal, very modern, clean and comfortable (514) . Only downside was lack of hot water for a full bath/shower, but not a big issue on a... more

I would definately recommend this to my friends and we are going to use this for our base whenever we visit London. The location was within easy walking distance from all of the main attractions and ideal for those wishing to visit the theatre during their stay. The room was 'cosy' but ample big enough for a base and very... more

Paid £112 for a double (room 206) on a on line distributor the night before...- this room was located at front of building on only 2nd floor but good sound proofing assured this was not a problem.

We booked this hotel (after much searching!), due to its location and the deal we got off Laterooms.com - £79 a night. It was an absolute bargain!!! The hotel was immaculate, all being newly refurbished, and the location was fantastic - just 5-10 mins walk to Covent Garden, Leicester square, Trafalgar square, and Holborn tube station. Our room was on... more

Fantastic staff, fantastic room (completely refurnished) and fantastic location made our stay in London so great. I have been several times in London and never received such a nice service in an hotel. Theatres, Museums, Bars,Restaurants etc... all are just outside ot at the corner! I do hope they will keep it at these rates to keep it affordable so... more

Room was very comfortable and excellent bathroom. Just a 5-10... more
