We didnt get to stay at the hotel because our flight was cancelled but we could not reach anyone at the hotel to let them know. The number rang for a while and then put me through to a mailbox that was full. Amateurish.

I stayed at Thistle Holborn in January 2025 for a long work trip of three weeks. This hotel is ideal for those who would like a walkable experience of London--it is in the very center of the city (Holborn/Bloomsbury) and a five-minute walk to two major tube stops. The hotel is clean and well-run, and the staff is immensely helpful. The breakfast buffet in the hotel is very good. Overall, this is a fantastic, central location for any first time visitor of London.

Even if this property is not a 5*, it is a very good 4* for the following reasons: clean, small rooms but has everything you need including a good hair dryer. 2 minutes walk from the British Museum, literally!! Restaurants all around or less than 7 min walk. Bus stop right in front of the hotel! Great service, they do everything they can to accommodate their clients. Good English vibe. My only concern: carpet in the room (I personally don't like it) but it was clean so no complaint. Restaurant a little pricy but no need to book breakfast there, go the the Drury or Breakfast club near by. Overall very good for the price, you wont regret.

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!

Basic Accomodation, sadly two single beds as sold out. Large square shower head exploded onto my head as water pressure too strong and far too hot water- could be scolded. Shared my concerns and shower was mended but I was checking out so didn’t use again, had to shower with low placed hand held. No discount offered or anything to compensate my single bed or shower which was disappointing. Breakfast ok. Attentive staff, nice bar and festive decor.
