A good location to stay for Leicester Square. The hotel reminds me of Travelodge. Ie basic, however, useful. The date I stayed was reasonably priced so it was good value for money. I would prefer to stay somewhere more comfortable, but the location, again, can't be beaten.

Staff were very friendly. Great location in the heart of Piccadilly Circus with lots of shopping and dining nearby. Rooms seemed to be a little run down but clean. The complementary drinks in the mini bar were a huge plus!

We only stayed one night, but the hotel bedrooms were very clean with plenty of towels. The position of the hotel is excellent for walking to the theatre. The reception staff were very friendly and efficient. We are going to London twice more this year and will definitely stay at the Thistle Hotel in Piccadilly.
