Excellent Hotel Experience
There were problems with the room we were given when we first checked in. The staff appologized and moved us right away to a perfect room. The hotel is first rate, but it was the staff at the front desk, restaurant and bar that made this a great place to stay. They were all fantastic. The location is great.

Fantastic birthday stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our one-night stay. The room was large, luxurious and clean; the hotel is in a perfect location with a relaxing bar. The staff were friendly and professional throughout, especially the wonderful receptionist who arranged a room change for us and asked if we needed any help finding our way around.

Great location for London city trip
The location of the hotel is on walking distance of the British Museum and Covent Garden, and if you're willing to walk about 30 minutes to Westminster Abbey, House of Parliament and other great places to visit in London too. Underground stations are nearby. Hotel staff is extremely friendly and service oriented. Our room was small but very quiet. All together definitely worth another visit!

Clean, modern hotel
This hotel was very nice. The staff was very helpful and friendly, they held our bags after we checked out for free until we could pick them up later in the evening. The room itself was also nice- big bed, good sized room, especially by London standards. The bathroom was super swanky with a fancy, modern shower head, though for all its fanciness it actually was not as effective as a normal shower head. Also had a heated towel rack, which is pretty awesome. Great location if you want to stay near the British Museum. Lots of little cafes and delis nearby, and also within short walking distance to Covent Garden (10-15 mins). It can be a bit noisy if you're on the back side, as there are some residences behind the building so occasionally there were people talking and playing music. It wasn't that bothersome though and I didn't notice it at night. The air conditioning wasn't great-- it cooled down the room a little, but was really noisy. Overall, though, this is a great hotel- clean, modern, good location near the British Museum. Would stay here again, though I do wish it were a bit cheaper.

Fantastic Stay!
The Kingsley by Thistle is perfectly located in the heart of the beautiful Covent Gardens section of London. The room I had was very well kept, and included everything I needed for a great stay. Room cleanliness was among the best that I have experienced. All staff that I interacted with were extremely courteous and very professional. The only critique I would offer is; if you are a light sleeper, try to stay away from the first floor rooms, as their proximity to the busy street may be a disruption to your beauty sleep. All-in-all, I would definitely stay at the Kinglsey again - even on the first floor.

I got a room on the top floor
I got a room on the top floor (6th). Other than the slamming doors (that happened max 3 times a night... it was really quiet. Great location, the tube is really close to it. Would go back again I think.

Modern hotel with friendly service.
Modern hotel with friendly service. Excellent location near Holborn tube station and Oxford Street. The hotel as such was like a labyrinth but otherwise very nice. I didn't try the restaurant, but relax in the bar.
