Never Ever Go For Upgrade

I was told it was going to be very nice if I went for the 55 pounds a night upgrade. I was led on to believe that it would be as nice as the Regency Club Floor of Hyatt by this person who was a very smooth-talking staff behind the reception desk.

None of the things she had promised happened, and it added extra stress because of this feeling of not getting what I was promised.

If you assume it's a cheap, two-star hotel, it is a pretty good hotel.

Many core staff (I am not talking about the cleaning people. They were actually very decent and friendly) did not seem to understand English, or pretended they did not understand English when there was a problem.

Theft/No customer Service

This is a deceptive hotel that is rated four stars that should be a two. The customer service was appaling given that my room was broken into and my laptop stolen . There was no contact from the GM or guest services . The attitude of the personel was that this happens all the time which is why I should have travel insurance. Forget leaving anything that cannot fit in your safe at the fron desk they will not take it. I also found out that other rooms where broken into. Will not stay here again as the furnishings are falling apart and there is no service for the customer.

Wonderful hotel

Our family, two adults, two children aged 12 & 14, stayed at this hotel september 23rd for 3nights and enjoyed it thoroughly. The breakfast was superb as was the quad room that we had been allocated, room 645. We were two minutes walk from Marble Arch Tube and Marble Arch itself. The staff we found very polite and helpful. We were in London to see the sites and were minutes away from all of the main tourist attractions. We paid £90 per night for the quad room, 2 adults and two singles. The room was lovely and was a treat to see for my 40th birthday surprise. The room was cleaned every day and there were two tvs, bathroom with surrond sound from tv or radio, hairdryer, iron & ironing board, all the cosmetics, fridge, kettle with tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc. Would love to return for another long weekend. Fabulous.

Poor service and attitude from desk personell

I stayed at this location in June of 2005 for almost 2 weeks. I found it no where near the quality of a 4 star hotel. The staff was deceptive and downright rude when questioned about what was included in the "specials". I spent much more than I should have for services like Internet. They provided only minimal information (apparently unless you wanted something they sold or got a cut of). When I complained about the charges they adjusted my bill - slightly - but after doing my expense report I see they made up for it elsewhere anyway. I had to leave for 3 nights to travel elsewhere and when I returned (for one night) the room they "saved" for me must of been their favorite room for "problem customers" it was in very poor condition. The Remote control didn't work, 1/2 of the lights in the room didn't work the chairs had stains on them and the arms were threadbare. After spending more than $3000.00 dollars at this hotel I would of expected more. I can't comment on other Thistle hotels but the marble arch is one I clearly would never stay at again let alone recommend. The only helpful person was the baggage guy.
Oh and the $30.00 hamburger I order via room service was not even as good as a McDonalds. Breakfast seemed to be the only meal they knew how to cook.

Me, my daughther and my wife had very pleasant stay at the Thistle Marbel Arch Hotel. We went London because we love this city and because we wanted to show it to our daughter. We enjoyed much our stay and your hospitality in your Hotel contributed much to the sucess of our journey. We trust to travel again as soon we can. Best regards. Yours sincerely, Felipe & Rosario, Marquis & Marquise de Villarreal y de Burriel (Spain).

great location

The Hotel was in a great location. On our check in, it took over an hour, not sure why. Escalator was not working for the six days we were there. Service was very good and the restaurant good. However I'm Scotish, so it is really coming back home for me. What really disappointed me was there was no English speaking employees there what so ever. Everybody was foreign. It was also the same in most of the stores except Marks and Spencers.

The check in procedure was efficient, and very pleasant. My stay was an enjoyable one. I have no complaints at all, and would stay at the Thistle again when I return to the UK.

Top Local Tips for London

Get Tickets for the big Nightclubs Buy tickets online if you intend to go clubbing to the big clubs like Fabric, MOS etc

Get an Oyster card It gives you half price travel in London but you just credit the card and it deducts for every journey by just swipping it. Then when it gets to the rate of a day ticket it stops charging so you never pay more than the price of a day pass. If you have any credit left it stays valid for 2 years so you can use it next time you visit London.

get your london travel card before departure for 3 Zones ... ...from london city Airport its easy to get to! No heavy Baggage!
