We received a free upgrade to this hotel from The Thistle Holborn. Our room was amazing, large, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We were given a complimentary breakfast which was delicious. Staff were very polite, efficient and friendly. We came for shopping and a theatre trip and this was the ideal place to stay.
