Location

Located in Bloomsbury, near Covent Garden, the British Museum and Oxford Street, The Kingsley (formerly Thistle Bloomsbury) is a 4 star hotel offering 129 bedrooms. The hotel is located on the Northern, Central and Piccadilly Underground Lines, near Holborn and Tottenham Court Road stations, making it an ideal base for business meetings and special events. The unique setting of The Kingsley blends contemporary comfort and Edwardian charm, plus its luxurious bedrooms and affordable rates are definitely something to write home about! Last year we started an extensive £10 million restoration and refurbishment programme at the hotel which completed in July 2009. The investment has seen our Edwardian façade lovingly restored and bedrooms completely modernised with a vibrant colour palette of rich reds, greys and creams, stylish contemporary furnishings and state of the art technology, including LCD TVs. The Kingsley offers room rate discount deals and special offers to complement the upgrade packages of the Hotel. The public area of this Bloomsbury hotel features a new restaurant and bar which offers a twist of traditional Edwardian charm with modern furnishings and soft atmospheric lighting. Our 7 meeting rooms and conference facilities haven’t been left untouched either with new stylish contemporary furniture, diverse lighting systems and the highest quality AV equipment, all installed to provide an aspiring and productive environment. But, it’s not just the aesthetic look of the hotel that’s changed; we’ve also changed the name. Formerly known as Thistle Bloomsbury, the hotel has reverted back to its original name of ‘The Kingsley’ as a mark of its literary heritage to the author Charles Kingsley and the Bloomsbury Set. The Kingsley Hotel, located on Bloomsbury Way in the West End, offers elegant four star luxury accommodation at decidedly affordable prices.

Bloomsbury thistle ????

Without doubt, the worst hotel, i have ever had the misfortune to stay at. arrived at 13:50, to be told that we were too early, and we would have to wait until after 14:00 for our room. sitting in the bar area,waiting for my change from a bar order ( even then, they did not have enough change to give me, must be a new way to earn a tip), the receptionist ran in at 14:03, threw the key down, and said, it's ready now, no explanation of facilities or meal times.
walking to our room, we realised what a mistake we had made, the refurbishment, i accept that there will be disruption, but the hotel was filthy. the room we were given, was cold, uninviting, the bathroom was disgusting, worn out, and tired. the towels were like sand paper, the tea and coffee facilities ? one coffee, one tea bag, one milk, and a few sachets of sugar.of course we complained to reception, deaf ears, could not see why we would possibly complain. even when they finish the refurbishment, i would advise you to avoid.
you can change the building, attitudes take a little longer. i hasten to add, this was on valentines day !!!
