The location was perfect and very convenient. However, the blanket was dusty and had to request for new ones

The hotel deliberately assigned me the worst corner room on a low floor. Staff were cold, unfriendly, no smile, no service at all. Clearly discriminatory treatment towards Asian guests. Extremely rude and disrespectful. Avoid this hotel!
全程被区别对待，只给华人安排低楼层角落最差房，工作人员态度冷漠无礼，全程无笑脸、无服务，明显歧视亚裔，极度不尊重中国客人，避雷！

Down for a couple of days with wife for the theatre. Fantastic location for west end and train stations. Hotel itself is clean and comfortable however it is very tired and in need of some modernisation.

The reception team were amazing and they allowed us to check in slightly earlier than the normal time as there was a room available.
Also due to travel issues and trains cancelled due to bad weather they helped book and extra night.
The hotel is excellently placed to see all the theatres and China town so I would recommend staying here.
Also the food in the restaurant isn’t too bad.

The hotel was fine and in a great location. The only down side really was a lack of amenities and the shower was freezing cold this morning in room 602. Breakfast was good however and friendly staff.

Great location, was able to walk to shopping areas (20 mins) , some nice restaurants and pubs close by. Staff friendly and helpful. Would recommend The Thistle as a place to stay in London.

I stayed 3 nights at Thistle London Holborn and had a wonderful experience. The location is excellent — close to Covent Garden, the British Museum, and great transport links. The room was comfortable and clean, with everything I needed. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. A very convenient and welcoming base for exploring London — would happily stay here again.

Hotel was conveniently located outside a bus stop with buses going to Oxford Circus, SOHO, Chinatown etc.
Area is relatively safe.
Hotel-wise not the best for a four star. Definitely can improve on service and cleanliness. Probably also time for a refurbishment of furniture and white appliances. AC was making weird noises the entire time of the stay, shower door wasn’t working, surfaces weren’t not clean (we used a wet wipe right after housekeeping and it was so filthy - yucks!). Oh and the room only comes with shower gel and shampoo in terms of amenities (unlike the long list it states in description).

The staff were friendly and very helpful. The bowling was great but the food let it down. Christmas lunch was very greasy and a bit too much had been thrown in to everything. Dessert particularly disappointing. The Christmas burger could have done without the chestnuts and the stuffing on the top of the bun made it soggy. My cherry turnover was dry and a touch burnt. I swapped with a friend's creme brulee but that was so over flavoured no one wanted it. Was better last year.

All Star Lanes advertises itself as a 50s style diner, trying to emulate the atmosphere of the time. The furniture and style didn't dissapoint on that front and a number of items dotted around the place made for a more authentic experience.
I was disappointed with the food - the vegetarian starter was very bland, and the main came presented in a way which made it difficult to eat, and wasn't especially tasty either.
The bowling, however, was good fun and this made it worth the journey. Worth doing as part of a big group especially.

Terrible, terrible, terrible. I attended with clients, we were told three times on the phone that we couldn't book more than one game in advance and had to book on the day. On the day, we were told there weren't any more lanes free for another 12 hours. Cheers. We were then kicked off of our lane without even getting half way through a game - no warning about there being a time limit (it was on the confirmation email - because we all read the confirmation email, don't we kids) and no prompt to say we were nearing the end of our game. We were kicked off the two lanes we booked, and sat down for a lunch for two hours, overlooking two other lanes which were COMPLETELY FREE FOR THE WHOLE TWO HOURS. The restaurant staff were very good, front of house really let themselves down.
All Stars? More like One Star.

Good place to go with large groups. Had our team Christmas dinner here. Was a good Night out with a Game of Bowling to start of and followed by dinner. Gave it 4 stars because the salmon came with a very spicy tomato sauce that really did not go with fish. So maybe avoid that. All else was great and it was a fun night out and great for bonding with colleagues.

I didn't bowl here, but I did drink some beer and ate some chicken wings. The beer and wings were great and the surroundings were pretty great. My only criticism is that I think wings should be butchered into drums and flats, rather than served up whole, but I'm not a baby and enjoyed eating them all the same. I like it here!
