Very poor service

We stayed one night as we were in town to see a concert. after checking in we were out for the evening. On our return we discovered our bathroom toilet was blocked and would not flush. All staff had left. We had no toilet facilities all night. We complained in the morning and the hotel staff seemed to think that as they sent maintenance up to the room at 9am that was acceptable. We checked out at 9.15. It was not acceptable! I will be complain(no to HO.

Excellent location, friendly staffs

Stay was good, total nights. But theres something very important that the housekeeping team should be educated. 1. On our arrival day, we asked for water n pillow. The housekeeper came, knocked once n opened the door immediately when i was changing 2. On 3rd day, we left the room at 7am with make up room signage n return at 330pm but the room wasnt make up. Hence, we replaced it with DND signage as we were jetlagged n trying to snooze. The housekeeper came at 430pm knocking at the door. I meam its like, theres a reason for DND signage! 3. Table , side tables are covered with layer of dust.

We returned to our room in the evening to find that housekeeping dropped a full bag of trash in our room and also left dirty towels on the floor near the door. Front management was not concerned as the person I spoke to said that housekeeping was gone for the day, so someone would be up to get the area cleaned up later.

Not worth the money. Staff fell asleep on the reception desk and hassled by housekeeping before check out time four times, they kept coming into our room without knocking. Room was dirty and we paid for a deluxe kingsize room that had nothing deluxe about it

Great place to stay

Lovely room great bed, comfortable and spacious room has desk and lounge chair. Nespresso espresso machine was well used. Rained shower was delicious. Lively view of Swiss Court and holiday revelers, no noise. Best blackout curtains ever! Helpful and friendly staff worked with me to quickly salvage lodging at last minute. Every staff member I interacted with was pleasant and engaging.

Poor service and a take it or leave it attitude.

Appalling as Katarina advised our room that we had booked several months earlier was gone! No apology. Either down grade or move hotels which we had no option but to do. Have had excellent service on all previous occasions. Sadly cannot review this time as we were moved to the other thistle property. Still awaiting resolve!!

The location was amazing. It is a short distance to the most amazing tourist attraction London has to offer. It made our trip much more about enjoying the moments rather than spending it on the commutes. Also, the hotel room itself was very spacious and very quite despite of everything thar was going on outside. The staff were also super nice and hospitable. We really really enjoyed our stay at Thistle piccadilly London.
