Satisfactory
Excellent location. A stone throw away from Buckingham Palace and Victoria Station. Good rate from gtahotels website. Good service from the front desk staff. However the housekeeping staff will not replenish the amenities in the toilet eventhough it finishes after 3 nights of stay. You have to made a request through the front-desk.

"great hotel"
My wife and I were in London for the first time. We flew into Gatwick and wanted a hotel that was easy to get to and was near the main attractions. Got the Gatwick Express train into Victoria. The hotel was less than 5 minutes walk. Had read reviews on Tripadvisor and the hotel seemed like a good choice. We were not disappointed. Yes the outside is a bit drab but our room was a good size and was well appointed although the air conditioning could have been better, but that said, couldn`t find and other fault. The reception and lobby were very nice, breakfast very good and we had an evening meal which again was very good. We were only a 5 minute walk from Buckingham Palace. Plenty of restaurants, pubs etc in vicinity. Tour bus stops right outside the hotel. Would definitely stay here again.

"Couldn't Fault It"
What a brilliant hotel - we paid £99 for the double room which included breakfast. The hotel was clean, comfortable and very nicely furnished - our room had tea making facilities, complimentary toiletries and its own iron and ironing board! The staff were very friendly and most helpful. If we had required a meal in our room there was a quite comprehensive menu available. We decided to eat in the hotel restaurant and the food and service was very good, prices may seem a little high but not for a hotel in London (we paid £66 for a two course meal for two people with a bottle of wine). Breakfast was superb - I have never seen so much food - the selection ranged from melons & grapefruit through yogurts and cereals to a full English breakfast. The food was well presented and the hot food was very hot! Our only fault with the hotel was a problem with the air conditioning as it did not seem to be working, the rooms were very hot and stuffy, however, almost as soon as we'd got to our room a member of the hotel staff turned up with a large floor standing fan! The location for us could not have been better - we were in London to go to Buckingham Palace and were delighted to find we were within a couple of minutes walk from there. There were also plenty of bars and restaurants nearby and for sightseeing purposes 'The Big Bus Company' had a stop right outside. All in all an excellent experience and one I'd like to repeat.

"Excellent"
Staff were wonderful, friendly and very helpful. Room was clean and very tastefully decorated. Only complaint was that there was no mini bar in our room it had been removed and as my husband was doing the marathon and it was a very hot weekend it would have been handy, but it didn't spoil our stay. It is in such a convenient locaton you can't go wrong.

"fairly good.."
Was with my wife at this Hotel early May. Very convenient location and anmenties fairly good (interesting biscuits and coffee). Morning call was timely. However was having problem with the access card quite frequently. Also no minibar.. The recept was courteous and the conceirge especially helpful with our selection of tour package. Definitely a plus. Generally we still expect more value for the price it is charging.

"decent hotel"
I stayed at Thistle westminster hotel along with my family in May 2006.We had a nice time,Hotel rooms are decent compared to other london room sizes.Hotel rooms are clean and housekeeping staff does a good job.Very close to victoria station and Buckingham Palace.Staff is friendly and helpfull. Compared to other hotels i have stayed across the world,this hotel seems understaffed,The guy who manages the retaurant also doubles up as room service .......Also everytime you ask for room service they charge you 2 pounds as service charge,even for empty plates . But overall its a decent hotel and worth staying for a few days as tourist as well as on business.

"Great Location - Character!"
We stayed at the Thistle Westminster for 4 nights for vacation (in the middle of the heat wave) in July. It is located in a fantastic place for tourists. Right across the street from the Victoria Station which takes you anywhere you want to go in London, just two blocks from Buckingham Palace, and within walking distance of Westminster, the London Eye, and so much more. We loved our room as it had a lot of character with the barrell rounded ceilings, couch, two chairs, two beds, a desk, and a nice closet with an in-room safe. The only down-fall was that the hotel does claim to have an air coolin system but the heat was way to much for it and we really boiled in our room all four of the days and nights. We would not even feel it circulating the air.Overall, we really like the hotel and enjoyed our stay. Again, it is a GREAT location for tourists and we would definitely stay there again!

"good qulaity for good price"
booked this hotel as it was one of the few that would allow me to book 3 adults in one room and I was staying with my mum and my sister. Check in was quick and efficient and the room was small but very clean and perfectly adequate for one night. There were two queen size beds and I was on a put U up sofa bed that was absolutely fine. Nice bathroom and plenty of hot water. Drinks and food were reasonably priced. The hotel's location is great - very close to Buckingham Palace and the main tour buses (The Big Bus Tour and the Original Bus Company) stop outside. Its also only a short walk to Victoria coach and train stations.
