Customer reviews for Thistle Holborn, The Kingsley

Edited summary of customer comments

-- “Attractively decorated” “good-sized rooms” with “nice, comfortable bedding” are “spacious and clean” at this hotel housed in a “lovely old building”. It’s this kind of attention to detail that prompts visitors to “recommend this hotel to family and friends” and vow that they “will be booking again”. Loyal guests “have stayed about 5 times so obviously like it”. The service, meeting space, location and “value for money” have all been noted as plus points. The central location “about a block or two” from Holborn Tube station means it’s convenient for arrivals from Heathrow (direct on the Piccadilly line) as well as for the British Museum and Oxford Street shopping. Guests enjoyed the facilities including the “lovely” bar and rated breakfast highly, variously describing it as “very nice indeed” and offering a “good variety of well-cooked food”. --

Nathalie from Veigy Foncenex, France would recommend this hotel to a friend

Our bedroom had an emergency light in the ceiling, with no switch to turn it off. This made for a bad night's sleep. I will not be staying at the hotel again despite the very good location of the hotel.
