After getting over the initial sticker shock of most hotels in London I found this hotel to be in the perfect location for me. I was able to take the picadilly line straight from LHR to Holborn station. Holborn station also intersects the central line making this an easy way to get to many areas of London. The room was...

Warm,prompt and friendly welcome. Excellent bedroom - super king bed. We had come to see War Horse. Theatre a couple of hundred yards away and excellent eating pubs. Good choice at breakfast but ... Hot food had been sitting there for a long time and was unappetising. Easy and quick checkout. Taxi easily hailed

Spent two nights at the Thistle Kingsley, Holborn. Reception staff friendly and helpful as were the restaurant staff. Breakfast was good. The room was well equipped and clean but there was a fan running 24/7 which created a loud hum which kept us awake. Ate twice in the lounge bar. First time it was good. Second time they had two...

I made the Kingsley my goto hotel in London a while back, simply because of the outstanding service, the top notch suites and the location. The suites of Kingsley by Thistle are by far some of the most spacious and quality rooms you will ever find in a London hotel. The service goes above and beyond to make sure you... More

Staff is very friendly, and location is very good but this hotel is not a 4 star hotel. Rooms are very small, and there is no mini bar in the room. The fan coil is very rumorous; really they need to change this equipment. Rooms also need some renovation. I chose this hotel looking at the reviews, but I cannot... More

I met up with a friend for a three night stay in London to sightsee and go and see Phantom of the Opera and Les Mis.. Every member of staff i met or spoke to was very friendly, polite and helpful. The best part about this hotel is its location. Five minute walk from the underground and a few stops... More
