The Spotlight on Thistle Bloomsbury Park

Edwardian Charm Meets Live Music Energy in Central London

Modern convenience meets classic style at Thistle Bloomsbury Park, a charming Edwardian hotel in the heart of London’s West End. With easy access to Covent Garden, Soho, and Oxford Street, you're never far from iconic music venues, cultural landmarks, and the city’s buzzing nightlife. Whether you're in town for a major gig or a spontaneous show, this well-connected base puts you right where the action is.

The hotel offers 95 comfortable rooms with private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and tea/coffee facilities—perfect for unwinding post-show. With tube stations like Euston and Holborn just a short walk away, getting around London before or after a concert is a breeze.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Thistle Bloomsbury Park delivers. Nestled between Russell Square and Covent Garden, you can walk or hop on the tube to reach major venues quickly. Despite its central setting, the hotel maintains a relaxed atmosphere, providing a peaceful retreat after a night out. Check-in starts at 15:00, giving you time to freshen up before the show, while the 11:00 check-out means you’re not rushed the next morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a concert weekend
  • Solo travelers ticking off a dream gig
  • Couples planning a culture-and-concert getaway
  • Fans needing a quiet place to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a great location

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site bar is open every evening—perfect for a pre-gig cocktail or a nightcap. While there’s no formal restaurant, you’re surrounded by top-notch eateries in Bloomsbury and Soho, many of which stay open late. Tea and coffee in every room is a welcome touch for those slow post-concert mornings, and breakfast is available to help you start your day right.

Nightlife Options

Whether you're heading to a show or keeping the night going, you're in the right spot. Covent Garden and Soho’s electric nightlife—packed with live music bars, clubs, and cocktail lounges—is just around the corner. Prefer something lower-key? The hotel’s bar serves up a relaxed vibe and classic drinks without leaving the building.

What People Say

Guests love the unbeatable central location, with many highlighting how easy it is to get to gigs and back. Travelers praise the clean, comfortable rooms and the friendly, helpful staff. The hotel’s classic style and quiet vibe also earn high marks from those wanting a restful stay after a loud night out.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the rooms can feel a bit compact, and the décor is more traditional than trendy. There’s no air conditioning, which might be noticeable during rare London heatwaves—but fans are available on request.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a well-located, character-filled hotel with easy access to London’s top venues and nightlife, Thistle Bloomsbury Park hits all the right notes for concert-goers.

Beautiful hotel and a lovely...

Liked: The location in Bloomsbury park is fantastic and easy to find, the hotel manager was exceptionally helpful. The hotel is clean and breakfast was plentiful and hot.
Disliked: The lady on the reception desk was quite rude about early checkin when we arrived before 3 pm. We understood we were early but she did not need to be rude.

Excellent location and a great...

Liked: The Thistle London Bloomsbury Park is in a fantastic location which felt safe and convenient. It was a short to walk to catch the tube or bus and we could be anywhere within 15 mins. The bed was super comfortable and the large hotel windows had thick curtains so we slept well. A highlight was the breakfast buffet, with quality food and lots of options. The Chef/s were lovely too.
Disliked: The hotel had been booked for months and we knew it was 3pm check in, but we arrived 7.30am from Australia. I'd checked and the hotel allowed us to leave our bags there which was great and we wandered around Camden until we were ready to drop, but unfortunately they didn't have a room ready for us until nearly 4pm. The room they then gave us was TINY and had NO WINDOWS.We were away for a month so had 2 large suitcases, but the room was so small that we couldn't even open them in the room unless we moved to the top of the bed each time. We asked to be moved to a larger room and a different member of staff was happy to assist and moved us to a better room, which was still a little old and tired but had a window and space for our suitcases. Both room we saw are nothing like what's advertised on Booking.com or Thistle websites, which both show modern spacious rooms, so perhaps check when booking.

Quiet hotel in good location...

Liked: Staff were very friendly and apologetic when it took awhile to get us checked in. We were told on arrival that our room has been upgraded. There were chocolates in our room and a nice card saying we had free late check out. Quiet hotel, we did not hear much from other guests in the corridors. 6 min walk from tube station. Overall, would recommend and would stay again.
