"Comfortable but tired looking room "

The hotel room was comfortable but dated and in need of some updating. Additionally, there was no hot water when I was showering at 11pm. However, for the price of the hotel, train and show package I can`t complain.

The checking in was welcoming, the room was as expected if a little tired, some of the `veneer` was peeling off the furniture and some of the grouting in the bathroom wasn`t pristine. There wasn`t enough tea/coffee making items but that`s not unique to this hotel, there`s never enough. Altogether good value though.

"Fantastic personalised experience"

I took my mum to this hotel for her 60th birthday and the staff could not have been more kind. They upgraded our room, gave complimentary breakfast and a bottle of champagne with cake. The hotel went out of their way to make this birthday weekend an amazing experience for my mum. The room was nice, everything you needed was inside and anything extra, staff were more than happy to sort out for us. Overall, a fantastic weekend, thank you to all the staff for this wonderful visit and experience.

Stayed at the Thistle Barcican before, although we had a problem with the air conditioning unit in our room making some random noises stopping us sleeping, once reported to reception we changed rooms, which was not great after midnight but was compensated with a complimentary breakfast. However, I did have to insist on this as nothing was offered which was a somewhat disappointing.

Too far away from the theatre. Didn`t realise it was such a walk from Old St underground. We actually booked this hotel because it included breakfast but was told when booking in it was room only so ended up paying for breakfast too.

"Comfy but noisey"

They need to soundproof the rooms. If you`re a light sleeper don`t stay here. I don`t enjoy listening to the room next door having sex.

"Reasonable hotel stay for a weekend in London. "

Hotel was reasonable in price and cleanliness, we did have a small glitch with our bookings as during check in we discovered that our two rooms were in different buildings. We expressed disappointment in the room situation as it meant our daughter would be alone in a room in a different building from us. This was not explained to us when booking the theatre package. we asked if she could be relocated into the same building as us, we were told the hotel was fully booked. On asking to speak to a manager, explaining the fear of her being on her own, the check in assistant came back and said her manager had authorized a free upgrade to a double room on the same floor as us in the same building. This was a generous offer on the hotels behalf. My concern would be that people with young teenagers could find themselves in the same situation. The hotel should make people aware of this when booking are made, this would give people time to cancel and look for another hotel
