This is a great hotel. Friendly helpful staff, excellent breakfast. Their standard is higher than some 5 star hotels we have stayed. The location is great next to the station, possibly a little noisy on the front, but you cannot be right in the action otherwise. A very clean hotel. We booked it through Londonhotels.com who really know their stuff... more

Upon arrival after a long flight from Australia, we were delayed into getting into our room by 2 hours after the scheduled check-in time. When we finally got into a room (not the one we booked but a lesser one) the view out the window was of a down pipe and the wall of the neighbouring building. Finally, after the... more

The good: Great location -- duh! Great first floor public lounge and bar Breakfast was pretty good (although see below) Rates here are generally good compared to the Trafalgar where they have a bit of an attitude... Better rooms than the nearby Waldorf Better location than the nearby Victoria Park Plaza The free in-room tea and coffee set was good.... more

I booked this hotel using Tesco Clubcard Vouchers so checked in as normal swiping a credit card in case we had any extras. The room was a good size and you could just see the Thames and the Eye. The only problem was the room above had laminate flooring and the people seemed as if they were practising for a... more

The hotel has a great location! To reach the hotel from the airport , simply purchase your Oyster card from the subway station and go to the Charing Cross station. The hotel is right up there. It's near the train station that is convenient if you're planning a trip outside London. It's near to the Trafalgar Square and the National... more

This property is now managed by Guoman rather than Thistle. The location is very convenient, right on top of the Charing Cross tube/rail and 2 minutes from Embankment Tube, and a 15 minute walk across the bridge to Waterloo station. I have stayed here three times, in both buildings. The Buckingham wing is the older part, and while it is... more

40 years ago, as a young man, I went to London to see Scotland playing England in a Saturday evening football match at Wembley. This was a last minute decision so I had to book a hotel on arrival. London was very busy but I eventually got a room at the Charing Cross Hotel and was very impressed with this... more
