"Thistle Bloomsbury Hotel is very convenient"
Thistle Bloomsbury Hotel is very convenient. It has easy access to transport and feels safe at night. My room was a good size for a London hotel. The TV was up on the wall right at the end of the bed, which mad for uncomfortable viewing.

"room was fine, with sufficient space"
Thistle Bloomsbury Hotel room was fine, with sufficient space, windows that opened(!) & nice set-up for making tea. Bathroom was tight, with a "moody" toilet. The hotel was very convenient: walking distance from the tube, with plenty of transportation & restaurant choices. This was our first "full English" breakfast and it was terrific. The only hitch was getting coffee & tea orders placed.

"A good deal!"
All in all a good hotel that we got at a very reasonable rate. Helpful staff that changed our errorly booked twin room to a normal double room without hesitating. The room was spacious, the shower and bath just fine. It's not really what one might call a modern design, but it was really cosy and clean. Shortly: There was absolutely nothing to complain

"Very nice older hotel"
This is a very nice older hotel. You can tell this was formerly an elegant hotel and it stills retains a sense of that. It is the nicest hotel I have stayed at in London for under $140/night so far. The rooms are very large by London standards (which would still be a bit smaller than an American first time visitor would likely expect) and my room (225) even had a walk in closet. The room and public areas were very clean. There were no mechanical problems at all during my stay.They have a very reasonably priced room service menu and you can have breakfast brought to your room for an add´l 3 pound fee (assuming it is already included in your rate, not all rates include this). The breakfast buffet in the restaurant was plentiful and very good. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful and they arranged a babysitter for me on short notice. The hotel is in a great location near the British Museum and shopping streets. The only downside for me was that the front lobby is not stroller accessible as you must go up a short set of steps. Hotel staff were always helpful in any case.

"Like staying at Grandma's House"
We stayed here saturday night, it's was really nice. Nothing like the Ritz. Our room was 215, a narrow room, probably 10ft x18ft. Had the wallpaper, floral comfortor and rufffled pillow atmosphere. Bed was smaller than what I'm used to but it was cozy with a down comfortor on it. nice vanity desk area and decent TV (although no news channels on it.) Bathroom was great and up to date fixtures, towel warmer, hair dryer and all the fixings. Reception was super nice and very helpful with the neighborhood. The Holborn tube is a 10 minute walk, the neighboorhood is very nice. Overall I liked my last night in London (Heathrow the next day was a different story!)
