Accessible and gracious

The Thistle Charing Cross, London was a wonderful choice for us. When the lady in reservations found we were celebrating our 30th anniversry, she made sure we had a suite with a pretty view. This hotel is accessible for my motorized scooter and the staff graciously helped us with accessibility issues whenever we asked. The room was well equipped with iron,ironing board, hair dryer and multiple plugs for adapting appliances from other countries. Housekeeping kept the room serviced regardless of what time we went out and they made sure we always had enough coffee. The elevators were quick and convenient. The air conditioning was more than adequate. The location could not have been better for sightseeing, for dining or for people watching.

Great Hotel, Great Location, Nice Price

The hotel staff was always very nice and helpful. We were lucky enough to check in very early which was great after a long flight. We stayed in a King Bed room, and it was in the annex, which is one building over and is reached by a connecting walkway on the 3rd level. There is no issue with the annex building.

consistently a Wonderful stay

We've been staying at this hotel for 14 years. We've always loved the location - a block to Trafalgar Square and the staff have always been most helpful. Under the new owners, Guoman, the service is even more spectacular, the rennovations lovely and this continues to be THE BEST location in London

The staff could not help enough,

The staff could not help enough, the rooms were gorgeous and the hallways, staircases and all public rooms were absolutely beautiful lit at night by candles. I would jump at the chance to stay there again. Nothing I can complain about at all.

Excellent Location and Value

This hotel is a gem. We had never been to London but we landed in the heart of the city. Trafalgar Square on the next corner, theater district, walking distance to bridge over the Thames, the London Eye, restaurants and stores. There was some confusion about our reservation but the staff straightened it out and upgraded us for our trouble. The hotel is physically nice also. I highly recommend this hotel.

Money-saving tip: Not Applicable

If you are coming from the states, check exchange rates for dollars to pounds and try to arrive with pounds. Airport exchanges were a ripoff (especially in Paris!) and currency exchanges are clearly out to make money. This is real money you can save.

Excellent experience

Only needed to stay for one night to attand a function in London. Chose hotel after reviewing several options. Excellent location, abount 100 meters from Trafalgar Square. Hotel staff very attentive and we received a free room upgrade to an executive room. If (the excellent) Breakfast is booked at the time of check in it is £10, whereas it would have been £20 if we would have gone direct to the restaurant.

A gem of a mini-break

We really enjoyed staying in The Charing Cross Hotel. On entering the tasteful reception area, we were greeted by curtious and friendly staff. The room was large enough for 2 adults + one 15yr old, with lots of room to spare, despite the largest bed I have ever seen + a double sofa bed. We would definately return there given the opportunity.
