After reading the previous reviews I was quite worried about what to expect when I booked here, but I heard about the revamp and had my fingers crossed that I would get a new room. Pleasantly surprised when I got there. Location is excellent. It is very near Covent Garden (I noticed a review where someone complained that it was... more

On the third floor in a new refurb - more than acceptable for the price (£114 for a Friday night booked on the Monday). Was a twin room and when we arrived the beds were next to each other. Given we were friends but not that friendly :-) we moved them apart - which was easy as they were light.... more

the rooms are being redecorated, we did not get informed when we booked, also there are very small the showers do not work and our friends were moved rooms ,20 minuets walk to covent garden not round corner as thay say, not whorth the money,one posotive the night porter is great the guy can not do enough for you. more

We stayed on the totally refurbished third floor, (the first and second were still more or less a construction site) in a superior room, very very nice. Breakfast buffet was very complete, the free newspapers appreciated. Location is perfect to explore London and a nice area in itself. They also have a very nice bar. I'd definitely go back!

we booked a cheaper B+B room deal here through a newspaper and although we expected to be allocated one of the rooms at the back we didn't really expect to be in a tiny, dingy and very tired room looking out into pipework at the back! The bed was hard and unforgiving and the green shower tray and loo was... more

Stayed here for one night in a twin room. The hotel is currently undergoing a £10million refurbishment and is due to finish in June 2009. We were lucky enough to get a refurbished room and it was excellent. The hotel say that they are 95% completed but the reception and hotel bar/restaurant are still to be refurbished and a few... more

Our staying at The Thistle Bloomsbury was as a consequence of The Thistle Trafalgar Square being over booked (a not uncommon occurrence according to other Thistle Hotel reviews). We were transferred by taxi that dropped us at the wrong hotel – not a great start. Very pleasant reception staff having to deal with a number of transferred guests that evening... more

Oh crikey, where do I start with the Thistle at Bloomsbury (or Kingsley as it is being re-branded). The hotel is a building site at the moment scaffolding and all - something that the hotel didn't bother to mention to my travel agent. Anyway, by the time I arrived it was too late to change so best make the most... more

Having read the reviews about this hotel, I was naturally a little anxious about staying here for five nights on business, however, as it turned out, I needn't have been. Everyone [quite rightly] has different opinions of quality and service, what I want when I'm away from home on business is something that is clean, comfortable and in the right... more
