Check in was quick enough, and we were given room 309, which was a nice spacious room on the corner of the hotel, overlooking Leicester Square. Only 1 of the 2 lifts was working all weekend though! The bed was enormous and bedding clean. So far so good! As many people have stated, the rooms are long overdue a rehaul,... More

This hotel is in a great location but the hotel is in need of redecoration and the quality of service was lacking. We had issues with the lights (no bulbs either of the two lights!) and hairdrier (did not work!). There isnt a large light in the room so even when the bulbs had been fitted it was still lacking...

I have read, with some surprise, negative reviews regarding this hotel (refurbishment is planned for 2012) but having stayed there last night with my daughter, I couldn't fault it. The location is perfect for all London sight-seeing and especially for the theatres. We found the rooms a little tired and in need of updating but our twin room on the... More

The Thistle Piccadilly is a Victorian Hotel in Leicester Square. The "bones" of the hotel are fine: large rooms, good HVAC system, lots of hot water; however, it is very tired and need to be refurbished. Management has started this process. We were given a tour of the Thistle Trafalgar which has been refurbished and told this hotel would look... More

We were moved to this hotel from the Piccadilly Thistle due to a leak before we arrived and enjoyed the Piccadilly Thistle very much. The room and storage were both good, the place was clean and the staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. I would have liked a view which didn't include the air vents but we could...

It is really hard to find a better placed hotel, perfectly situated between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Sq, and for this reason it is very good. The truth is though that although this hotel ticks the boxes for 4 star standards, guests should note that it is dated and is in need of a real deep clean. The room itself... More

This hotel sums up all that is bad about 'rip off Britain' - poor quality, high prices, when will they ever learn?? It is embarrassing to think that foreign tourists stay in places like this and assume that it is what passes for decent accommodation in the UK. The location in Leicester Sq is not the most pleasant, but it... More
