"Superb hotel!"

Staff were all helpful and very friendly. We received a complimentary upgrade & so enjoyed a superb executive room (you could get lost in the bed!) The Glenn Miller Bar is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a drink (& the memorabilia). We very much enjoyed our meal in the hotel restaurant and felt it was value for money. Only possible criticism is the slightly manic scenario that faces you if you opt for breakfast - big queue to get seated and we felt very crushed & slightly under pressure to eat up and vacate to allow the next poor souls in the queue to sit down.

"we requested irish coffee at 11.05pm, told coffee machine cleaned at 11.00pm and not available"

We feel the bar staff should be prepared to put themselves out a little but apart from that this is a very good hotel. Porters and reception staff were exellent and the rooms very clean.

"great hotel, but expensive."

Location in west end is excellent; excellent clean rooms, but small; good wifi, but didn`t like having to pay extra for it relative to the cost of the rooms; good breakfast, but should have also been included with the room cost.

Although the hotel appears to be very large and impersonal it is very well run - staff courteous and well trained and our room (although needing a little updating) was comfortable and a good size with three proper beds rather than a double and a z-bed which you often get in a family room. Perfect location for shops, restaurants, tube and theatres. We will definitely use again and recommend to friends.

The Hotel is in an absolutely excellant location, we were able to walk to the theatre and obvioulsy Oxford Street was on our doorstep with all it`s fabulous shops. Breakfast was very disapointing, we joined the queue at around 9.45 and eventually we were asked to follow a member of staff to a conference room where we were able to get breakfast. The staff in this room obviously weren`t expecting us so if was all very disorganised.

"Soooo big"

Staff very friendly did have a problem getting through on phone a few days before arrived-took 4 attempts to request ballons in room for my daughters birthday.The hotel room was a great size(family room) ,a little shabby but clean.Overall it was fit for purpose but not for longer than a couple of nights and if i`m honest i wouldn`t stay again.

"Great base. Warm, helpful welcome. Spacious room with everything we needed. Would stay here again"

Warm and professional welcome and early check-in which allowed us to leave a bag and settle before heading for a full day out in London. Older hotel means the room was really spacious. We had a family room for teenager and the bed was comfortable and materialised while we were out. Huge and comfortable bed for us. Room showing slight signs of wear and tear, but nothing bad and the everything was very clean. Slight confusion over breakfast booking, but quickly resolved. Breakfast offered everything you could want, from full English to fresh fruit, yoghurt and all the usual juices, cereal etc. A really great breakfast.Based just behind Oxford Street/Marble Arch, this hotel is a great base from which to enjoy the West End. I thought it was comfortable, good value and would definitely stay here again.

"Thistle Marble Arch - Building work on our floor and not notified at all"

When we got to our floor there was a LOT of building work and refurbishment going on, and had to walk through the dusty corridors to reach our room. Location was good for us but the hotel could have been better if we were given a different floor.

"Great location and great hotel"

Originally put in a smoking room, when I had requested a non-smoking room. Couldnt have been more helpful and upgraded to an Executive Room for our trouble. Lovely clean spacious room. Didn`t have breakfast got a 2 for £10 deal at Garfunkels just further down in Oxford Street

"We had booked a standard room but decided to upgrade to an executive room."

As we had upgraded we were very pleased with everything I think we would have found the standard room fairly basic.

"Not really a family room, not worth the money"

The room was not big a proper family room as advertised on their website, they had squeezed a single bed between the foot of the double bed and the sofa, which in its self was a little chatty. The bathroom needed a little sprucing up as well.The breakfast was nice although i would idvise getting in early due to que after 10am.Overall im sure there are cheeper and cleaner hotels for the money.

Hotel very central. Room clean, tidy and quiet but decoration a bit tired. We did get a complimentary upgrade so had a nice big room. We bought a pint of milk to make extra coffee in our room but most of the carton was pinched whilst we were out of the room!!! Not very good.

"Quite dated room"

Having stayed here before we were looking forward to returning to the hotel,unfortunately on this visit we were placed on the 8th floor. This floor is no where near the standard of decoration of the lower floors.The room was clean and tidy bur very dated and quite small. We would have much prefered a lower floor. The staff were very helpful when our room key did not work and sorted the problem very quickly .

"Excellent hotel"

Could not have been happier with this hotel. It was a last minute booking and a bargin with the deal we had. We also received a free upgrade to a deluxe room which was fantastic. The rooms have everything you want and an ideal place to rest from the hustle and bustle. Only slight problem I`d say that it`s not near a main tube station but that`s the only slight thing. Excellent!!

"Friendly, helpful staff made all the difference to our stay"

With my companion in a wheelchair and myself suddenly forced onto crutches what was starting to look like a disaster weekend was turned around by the staff at the Thistle Marble Arch espcially the staff at breakfast. The restaurant was heaving but they looked after us admirably. Thank you.

Good, clean and what I would expect from a hotel. Those people giving out about the Arabs would want to relax their racist views. The only grudge I had was the bar closing so early??? Whats a man got to do to have a pint at 11 o` clock in this town?!
