For the price this was great. The elevator can only hold 1-2 people at a time depending on your size and how much luggage you have. So sometimes waiting for the elevator could take time if there were a lot of people using it

Staff were excellent!
Stayed with Thistle Bloomsbury Park in early August, room was lovely and clean although lack of air conditioning but a fan was provided in the room and was sufficient.It had everything we needed for our 1 night stay. But a special mention for Grimaldi and Yin on reception who gave excellent customer service and went above and beyond to make our trip special, both are a credit to the hotel

Only suggestion would be to have a small fan in the room as it was quite hot in the room; otherwise staff were very efficient and pleasant

Disappointed
This hotel has no AC. We came in July and it was quite hot and muggy. There was no soap in the shower or facecloths in the bathroom. (Fortunately, we had our own soap) The toilet was not flushing properly. We ran out of TP. Literally, someone had to run downstairs to get a supply. It took over 24 hours for our issues to be resolved. We were on the 7th floor. The elevator does not go to the 7th floor, so my daughter and I were dragging our bags upstairs and downstairs without assistance. (Same for another daughter, family of 4). It was clean and in a good location. Thankfully there was a fan in the room. The staff seemed put out with any issue reported and acted as if they didn't know what they were supposed to do about it. The bartender was great.

The hotel and room were clean but very faded. Sheets and bedding were clean but room was horribly smelly. Workmen started drilling outside the hotel at 8 in the morning and the whole room shook- We realise they were not the responsibility of the hotel and outside their control but made it unbearable. Some of the staff were very helpful, others not so. The best was the breakfast which was plentiful with lots of choice and extra touches that were a credit to the chef- like chopped corriander on the mushrooms.

It was central to most places with a good bus network. We had one issue when we checked in,but was delt with very quickly. The only thing the lift was very slow. Other that that everything was good.

A nice enough area but didn't spend enough time there to say anything positive or negative about the hotel, it was what you expect for a place you are just using as a base. And the my rating reflects this.

Good, clean hotel is a really good location. I am an Asian person and the number of desi, halal places near me were ideal. Hence this location was very useful for me.
