“Beat my expectations”

OK I'm going to write a long review, and it's positive. You'll have to decide for yourself whether there are better options for the same price and neighborhood, it's never easy to choose. My stay was in the first half of April 2026. I traveled solo but still booked a double room to avoid the notor… more

“Nostalgia”

We stayed here for one night purely for a touch of nostalgia. As a child, we would often come to the Kingsley at New Year because of its fantastic location, so we decided to return and relive some of those memories. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“1 Night Stay - Lovely”

I stayed here with my Daughter for 1 night bed and breakfast as part of a deal with Holiday Extras. We were in London to watch a show at the Phoenix Theatre, so location was brilliant. We checked in no problem and staff are lovely, very attentive and professional throughout our stay. We had a doubl… more

“Dreadful at start, good at the end”

Our stay got off to a dreadful start when we were given a dreadful room with two tiny children-size beds in the basement at the foot of steep stairs that I thought were difficult to navigate and even potentially dangerous for anyone to carry suitcases down, especially elderly people. Fortunately, m… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews

There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.

Our criteria for collecting guest reviews

After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.

When will my review appear on the website?

Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.

How long will my review stay on the website?

Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.

Can I get a reward for my opinion?

No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.

Can a review be edited?

No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.

Will my review appear on other websites or publications?

Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.

If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?

No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.

  • Guests at Thistle Holborn say: OK I'm going to write a long review, and it's positive. You'll have to decide for yourself whether there are better options for the same price and neighborhood, it's never easy to choose. My stay was in the first half of April 2026. I traveled solo but still booked a double room to avoid the notoriouly tiny single rooms of London hotels in general. The room I ended up with was on the second floor (third floor to Americans) in the back, and was very quiet day and night. There was plenty of space, the perfect amount for me: drawers, closet, safe, good TV, comfortable and clean bed, and importantly an excellent bathroom with strong hot shower (rain shower as well as hand-held option), and problem-free toilet and sink with strong water pressure. High-end large towels (I stayed six nights and never even needed to use the second set of towels that had been laid out). So the room was a plus, in fact it was better than I had feared based on previous London visits to other hotels. As for the restaurant, I only used it once, the first night for dinner (fish n chips). Not inexpensive, but comparable to restaurants in London. The food was good, the service pleasant. I never used the breakfast (I didn't prepay for breakfast either), because I was not leaving my room until 10:30 AM each morning. Decor: some are saying it's dated, but to me that was a plus. It's not dated in a bad "this is dirty" way, it's dated in a "this is a classic London hotel" way, with a grand staircase and hallways that aren't some boring modern function-over-form variety. Staff: I had nothing but friendly banter with the reception staff and bartender. No rudeness detected at all. In fact, we shared some laughs. Location: very handy because about a 7-8 minute walk (less if you walk faster than I do, which is likely) to two differnt tube stations: (1) Tottingham Court Rd station (on two main tube lines in central London, and just two stops away from Paddington station, which I had to use several times during my 7-day, 6-night stay), and (2) Holborn station, on the Central Line, which was useful for getting back from certain locations. For walking from the hotel, you have the British Museum just 5 minutes away by foot, and Shaftesbury Avenue almost across the street, leading to Covent Garden, Leicester Square and Oxford Circus. The High Holburn area is also an easy walk. Now late at night, which is when I was aways returning after going out to concerts etc, while it was convenient to take the tube back, it was a mental adjustment to realize it's safe, because especially on Sunday night everything is shut, even the pubs, and virtually no one but you is walking the final five minutes to the hotel from either direction. But I made the mental adjustment, realizing that it was actually quite safe, and that all kinds of solo pedestrians were doing the same, albeit few of them. Then again, if you don't plan on strolling back close to midnight, you'll never have that sensation of empty-ish streets. I don't have enough experience to persuade you to choose this hotel and not another one in the same price category with the same star ranking, but I can let you rest assured that this will always be a worthy option. It felt good coming back to this place each night, and was just what I needed from a hotel room. One tip when arriving the first time from Tottenham Court tube station: don't accidentally turn left on Bloomsbury Street, as I did, because it's not the right street. You wan to continue straight on New Oxford St., and gently veer left later on, onto Bloomsbury Way (not Street). :-)
