Customer reviews for Thistle City Barbican Hotel

Edited summary of customer comments

-- The swimming pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi are “just lovely” and “the main reason I stay here” for some guests who find the facilities “very refreshing after working in London all day”. Customers liked the bar area including a big screen and “impressive” entertainment facilities. The location “close proximity to Liverpool Street Station and Moorfields Eye Hospital” is also handy for theatre/arts events at the Barbican. However it is “not close enough to the major sites if you are a tourist” for some and nor is it “close enough to transport when carrying bags” according to another guest. If you prefer the personal touch you may find a stay here “a bit impersonal” despite the efforts of the “friendly and courteous” staff. Look out for added costs including the “high cost of basic breakfast” and parking at £20 a day even for residents which may not be clear at first. --

Really easy to get to from Kings Cross and perfect for the O2 Academy. Comfy rooms, friendly staff and reasonably priced - will definately book again.  

Christopher from Sutterton, United Kingdom would recommend this hotel to a friend

I had a great stay as the staff were very helpful in all kinds of matters but the only let down was when i asked for an Iron they brought me only to find one in my room and they never told me how hot it was going to be so when I went to Iron my new shirt I got a little burn mark I was going to an job fair so I was in a panic but lucky I was able to sort it that was the only downside to my stay apart from that it was great. smuir
