"Loved it there!"
I stayed 2 nights while visiting London, and was so impressed with the hotel, staff and location. Bloomsbury was charming, the staff was eager to please and so friendly, and the room was absolutely lovely. I overlooked Southampton Row and spent an hour each night having a drink and watching people go by on the street. Although it was a bit of a hike to get downtown to the sights, I wouldn't have stayed anywhere else. Though if forced, I would consider other Thistle properties - it seemed amazing. The room and bathroom were lovely, and at the cost, I couldn't have been more impressed.

"Easter in Boombury"
Eight of us stayed at the Thistle Bloomsbury Park in Easter 2005 for three nights. Everyone had a different comment to make. For instance our shower downstairs was very powerful . However the rooms were normal size and for the price we paid and considering that we were in London were very good and above all they were clean. Breakfast was buffet style and if you are there between 8.00 and 8.30 AM there is no problem in getting seats, you can eat as much as you like and the standards are very good. When I first booked the hotel and a latter stage found the reviews on this pages I was going to cancel, but I am please that my wife dissuaded me from doing so. The staffs in general were very friendly and helpful. If you are very demanding more likely you will find Thistle Bloomsbury Park no to you standards because it is true that some bathrooms needs a little bit of tender care and attention, but for the rest I can’t complain. Will I go back there again? The answer is yes.

"Much better than expected"
I spent a week here and, contrary to some of the reviewers, found it more than acceptable. I had an Executive Room which was certainly not large but big enough, with very decent closet space, a bed with an excellent mattress, and a small desk. The bathroom was very clean and came with large fluffy towels and adequate if not fabulous amenities. I also thought the buffet breakfast was quite good and extremely generous, and that the staff was exceedingly nice and helpful. All in all, I was very pleasantly surprised and would recommend it if you are not seeking luxury and would like to save your vacation money for the pleasures of the city.

I was apprehensive about this hotel after reading several on-line reviews but the bottom line if you accept a few flaws in this older hotel, you’ll find it fine. If you are picky, you are likely to have issues with it. This hotel is a great location near Russell Square. It is in between the Russell Square and Holborn tube stops on Southhampton Way which is a busy city street with about any service or shopping you should need including a Chinese Herbalist that offers massages for a good price (never did make it in), a Starbucks next door, and a travel store just a few doors down. We got to the hotel about 1:00p and were able to check in at that time without problem. She said we had a twin room, meaning two beds, but quickly changed it when I said we wanted a room with a double bed. Check in was fast, professional, and courteous. The room was small and a bit awkwardly arranged but overall was clean and acceptable. They had an electric kettle with tea, coffee, and cookies available in the room. There was also a writing desk, a TV with limited stations. The only tricky part here was the bathroom. It did show the age of the hotel but overall was okay. The worse thing I can say was the shower area could have used some Tilex if not some retiling. The shower had GREAT water pressure. One review I had read commented on the toilet not flushing. I once experienced this, but when I said something to hubby he tried again and it worked fine. I believe in general, toilets in London need time to refill the tank for flushing. The one lift was out of service one night when we came back, but that was the only time in 4 days. I utilized their laundry service for a pair of pants. They were back a bit later then they said, but the pants that I was afraid were stained and ruined for life looked great. We did not partake in their breakfast buffet that they indicated would be a ₤10,95 since it was not included in our Priceline rate. We found pretty much the same buffet breakfast next door at Dean’s Brassiere for ₤5,95. For reference, we were charged ₤17,00 for the same buffet at our post cruise hotel (YIKES!) We also had breakfast from Starbucks and McDonald’s (near Holborn Station) while there. There is an alley behind the hotel that we kept hearing much laughter from each night until about 11:00p. Our final night we finally explored and discovered a couple of pubs plus a restaurant. All our gallivanting around London to find new food and it was literally in our own backyard. We ate at Cagney’s there and enjoyed the food at a decent rate by London standards. We probably would have tried the other establishments if had realized sooner they were there. We checked out at 8:00a and they gladly stored our bags, giving us a claim check, until we were ready to head for the airport at about 1:00p. Overall I would stay at this hotel again.
