Stayed for 1 night to go out out in Shoreditch. The Hotel was in a convenient location but the twin room was small. I didn't spend much time in the room so it wasn't really an issue for me. The small swimming pool, sauna and steam room was a very welcome treat the morning after my night out. More...

We stayed in about one year ago and we would like to come back. It is very nice and it's easy to visit London from there by feet or by underground

We all loved the stay!Pro's:* large room, lots of space* large bathroom, shower and a tub.* free mini bar (!!)* pool, although small, is nice and there are two kinds of saunas (steam and regular heat)* restaurant and a bar inside the hotel area* room service until 11pm* easy access to taxiCon's:* expensive breakfast (12 gbp each) if not booked with the room* breakfast was not very tasty, it was ok but no. .. Hit, if you understand what I mean. A must visit is the Fish restaurant just around the corner from the hotel, it has won several titles for serving the best fish 'n' chips and I can assure you it was VERY good. More...

Enjoyed my stay and was a good experience. The only thing to note is that the radiator was off by default and you have to turn the dial on them to turn them on.

They are quite friendly and super attentive! My wife needed an extension cord and they had it in the room before she'd returned from the front desk. Quite nice. If I had to find anything to complain about I'd say the orange juice is a bit watered down, which is hardly anything. More...

I stayed at the Thistle Barbican after a work Christmas party. I had a twin room which was very spacious and even had a massive flat screen tv! Room was clean and quiet. The lighting was excellent, especially by the mirrors which i find is a rarity at most hotels, it doesn’t sound so important but when you are getting ready for a formal do it is crucial! Check in was very quick and the staff friendly, you could see that they got on well with each other too! If you’re ever worried about staying in central London, look no further than the Thistle; I was in the second building which was only accessible with a keycard, which made me feel very safe as I stayed on my own. Thanks very much, I will be returning for the next big night I have in London. More...

The breakfast selection is very wide and the hotel is less than 5mins from the bus stop and you can stroll through a small park on your way. Very close by is a church and through it was Sunday, we didn’t hear the bells toll until we were going out and about. The front desk was really nice and the room/bathroom was cozy/small. Very much like an old hotel from New York. They don’t have washcloths or an ice machine, much to my grandmothers dismay lol but we made due and it was nice. More...

Really happy with our stay here, it was my husband’s 60th birthday and on arrival the guy on reception wished him a happy birthday and said there was a bottle of Prosecco for us in the room. We’d booked room only and because it was my husband’s 60th they gave us free breakfasts for our stay!! The room was very clean and had a big TV, fridge and a choice of a basic hairdryer or a professional one. The bed was very comfy and there was plenty of wardrobe space. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice and the staff were all very good. We ate in the restaurant on the Saturday night, great value at £17.50 for 2 courses and the service was excellent far better than in the Aqua Shard! The food was excellent highly recommend the steak. We didn’t use the pool but we will on our next visit. The hotel was a 10 minute walk from the underground so a good location and there were bars near the underground and a few eating places too. All in all a brilliant stay and the staff were great, will definitely stay here again. More...

I booked a single room as I was just overnighting but myself and needed a place to stay. Room was clean, well kept. On the the small side, but that’s expected of a single room. Didn’t get a chance to use the leisure facilities but the breakfast was decent. Great for just an overnight business trip, as it’s reasonable priced and very near plenty of transport facilities. 10/15 minute walk from Barbican tube station. More...

I do read reviews and noted several reviews commenting on the annex to this hotel in a very negative way, the rooms were lacking some basics and specifically they were noisy with poor outside isolation. When checking in I requested a room in the main hotel building which would be the normal thing. I was then told that the only room available was in the annex. My booking was made several weeks in advance. After a lengthy discussion involving several people and also I think a manager hiding in the back they managed to "find" a room in the main hotel building on the second floor adjacent to conference areas. The room was bordering a utility area making it perfectly quiet at night as there were no people. The overall quality of the room was very good with a large flat screen TV, a coffee and tea making set , a good equipped bathroom and the size for a single room, being London, very good. The pool and the gym looked fine but I didn't try it. An extensive breakfast at 12,5 pounds is served next to the reception area. Across the road you can get an English breakfast at half that price. The location of the hotel is a little bit off bounds, not an interesting area, but you can reach the Tube on Old Street after a 10-12 min walk. There are also several bus lines close to the hotel. Returning to the hotel Yes, why not ! More...
