Location is exceptional for exploring London. We actually watched a movie premier from our room window for the new Marvels movie, and all the celebrity red carpet. Chinatown is a block away, the tube system is a few blocks away. Everything is within close proximity.

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.
