Thistle Bloomsbury Park Hotel Review
A block away from leafy Russell Square and a short stroll from the British Museum, the location of the Thistle Bloomsbury Park Hotel is outstanding, though once you get past the handsome frontage and gleaming lobby, everything seems decidedly more average—though not necessarily in a bad way. This is the kind of place where all the basics are covered, but little else, with decent service to boot. Guest rooms are simple and small, with mass-produced furniture.
