A good location to stay for Leicester Square. The hotel reminds me of Travelodge. Ie basic, however, useful. The date I stayed was reasonably priced so it was good value for money. I would prefer to stay somewhere more comfortable, but the location, again, can't be beaten.
Hotel room was great and comfy. However, area around the hotel was kind of rowdy.

Great location!
Staff were very friendly. Great location in the heart of Piccadilly Circus with lots of shopping and dining nearby. Rooms seemed to be a little run down but clean. The complementary drinks in the mini bar were a huge plus!
We only stayed one night, but the hotel bedrooms were very clean with plenty of towels. The position of the hotel is excellent for walking to the theatre. The reception staff were very friendly and efficient.
We are going to London twice more this year and will definitely stay at the Thistle Hotel in Piccadilly.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Thistle Piccadilly. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Location is fantastic and easily walkable to key sites in London, such as the art museum and Big Ben. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a very sizeable room , very clean.
Check in was quick and the location was brilliant for the west end shows , Covent Garden British museum and National Gallery.
I booked a 355sq ft junior suite. No way was it this size. Sooooo disappointed. The rooms were very small and the bathroom dated and in need of refurb. No tea making facilities, only a coffee machine. No biscuits. No body lotion in the bathroom. This is not a 4 star hotel. I will never stay at a Thistle hotel again.
