Thistle Bloomsbury Park

Reception staff were polite and helpful, entrance decor and style belies the run down nature of the rest of the hotel though. I paid £109 for room only, which is not bad for a weekday night in that area of London, however this hotel would never be my first choice in the area because of the poor quality of the rooms.

The poor quality of the rooms, the rooms are in dire need of refurbishment.

Winter Warmer deal gave us excellent discount & complimentary bottle of wine!Upgrade to large 3 bed room; good fresh bedding; quiet room; helpful,cheerful staff; reasonable cost parking nearby; excellent restaurant with friendly efficient staff.

Slightly shabby corridors and room, both in need of freshening up (in contrast to smart restaurant & reception). Greeted in room by odd tangy smell in bedroom & bathroom (due to bad choice of air freshener?) tho' got used to it quickly.

Good location, breakfast was good, comfortable bed

Noisy pipes during the night, bathroom needs to be refurbished, tiny lift that takes ages!

Twin bedded room - poor bathroom needed upgrading

Staff were polite and helpful. We were upgraded free of charge as there were no double rooms left.

The bathroom, although clean, badly needed refurbished; the washbasin tap was barely attached to the basin.

nice breakfast restaurant very helpful staff

room small and in need of decoration

only the duty manager and then manger next day knowing that they had to act swiftly to fix their mistakes!

not as described, should inform about on-going building work, room not like picture, not having double-room booked and had phoned to check available.

friendliness of staff, good location, excellent breakfast

Location

Room was hot +++ Had to move rooms in the early hours of the morning, as too hot to sleep in. Radiator could not be turned off. Electrics hanging out of the wall and dangerous.

Not a lot although reception desk staff very polite

Not thistle's usual standard. Room very poor - bathroom shocking - no air conditioning

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

I paid GBP 111 for a double room per night with no breakfast. I've stayed at better, cleaner, more up to date hotels at half the price and breakfast was included. The bathrooms definitely need updating, the air conditioning system is ages old and even internet isn't free. I'd heard a lot about the Thistle group, and this turned out to be very disappointing.
