Only one lift, not working, staff was quite incompetent at the reception. We had our rooms on the 4th and 5th floor. When we requested that someone carry the luggage they obliged but after a grumpy response. The next morning we complained and got complementary breakfast. Hotel does not match the brand value of Thistle

Great hotel & central to get about. Smells amazing. Close to tube stations & walking distance from Euston. Hotel was very clean, warm and smelt amazing. Room was comfy, a little dated but clean, decent size for twin room. Dressing table chair bit too large for the room really. Room far too hot but we turned radiators off so not a problem. Tea, coffee, water in room. Shower was really powerful. Towels great quality and fluffy. Breakfast great. Choice of cooked, continental, fresh fruit and more. Reception and dining room staff all welcoming, polite & friendly. Both reception chaps Minarul & Tanveer are a real credit to the hotel. Both so helpful. We had actually checked out, left our bags but thankfully remembered we hadn’t emptied the safe. The reception chap took me back to the room on our return to collect it. Allowed us to rest in reception before heading off to the train. Would def recommend this place.

Very convenient, very clean and many facilities and amenities that a lot of similarly priced options are lacking. Found reception staff appeared to be constantly arguing with other staff members and contractors though - but lovely with customers!

Good single room, clean -- too clean in a way as towels seemed to be replaced although I hung them as requested to show I didn't want them replaced. The TV wouldn't function after the first day, perhaps a flat battery ... pleasant breakfast room! Owing to the nature of the building, there's only one rather small (& slow) lift which was a minor problem for the elderly (such as myself) who don't fancy four flights of stairs. But despite a warning that hot water might be slow to arrive, it was fine. I may well come again; very convenient location for me.

Staff very friendly, approachable and helpful. Room nice and spacious with large bathroom. Unfortunately the breakfast wasn’t as good as we have had in other London hotels. More cereal choice would have been good. Not the best taste of coffee in the machine. The hot platted food wasn’t particularly hot. Although the pastries were beautiful.

Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on what is on offer but for a cost of £16 per person if pre booked feel whatever is on offer £16 is rather expensive. Parts of the hotel are very dated and in need of some attention. Carpet fraying on the stairs, the area we had to go through with the stairs melt musty, the room itself the paper on the wall near skirting board is bubbling from what appears to be water leak from shower. Uneven floor in bedroom which could be a trip hazard. Unable to close one of the bedroom windows, towel rail was not heating up & had no idea how to get this to work. No socket by wardrobe area to use iron & ironing board. Not enough room by TV to put up ironing board. Socket under TV (first one) is loose and USB port did not work to charge phone. No socket in between the single beds to charge phone, or plug anything in. No on site bar, very limited drink offering and this was not clear from hotel description. Some of the images are dated and not true to how hotel now looks. Limited TV choice. On plus side towels and bedding were clean, although due to the room been cold could do with either extra blankets been available in room or thicker quilt.
