After reading the reviews on here, I was understandably nervous about my upcoming stay - however for £50 on a Sunday night in (almost) central London I wasn't expecting The Savoy.
Check in was polite and swift. My room (in the main part of the hotel, this seems to make a difference) was great. Typical Thistle decor (i.e. trapped in the 90s), but large, clean, and not too shabby. Large plasma TV, fridge, sofa, clean although slightly tatty bathroom. I had only booked a standard double, but assume I must have been put in a higher grade of room. The room was baking hot when I checked in, but opening the window and adjusting the aircon soon sorted this.
Sandwich from room service was fine, and arrived in 10 minutes.
All in all, pleasantly surprised.
