The Yeego experience was user-friendly, quick and efficient. I'm still amazed at how you get such good hotel deals. Many of your competitors don't seem to beat you on price and value for money.
Most notably I like Yeegos price quotes for an entire stay, not quotes based on the average nightly price like so many other hotel reservation websites do.

Very friendly and helpful staff. We arrived early around 12:30pm. It was no problem to go to our room earlier.
Although I gave it a 3 star the room was more of a 2 star. The room we got was across the main building, no receptionist, very dark and unpleasant compared to the main building. Room was very small but clean. The bathroom was of miniature size and the toilet didn't flush very well (very weak and had to wait 5 min to flush again). We were at 1st floor so the view wasn't great either. But that was less of a problem.
Breakfast was OK, scrambled eggs/bacon etc. But some things lacked a bit of taste, maybe because there were a lot of elderly people in the hotel?
I'd give the staff 4 stars. Always very nice welcome at the breakfast and the concierge was a nice guy too. We didn't have an adapter so it was possible to borrow one from the hotel.
Overall a nice hotel but because we had to walk 10 min to the tube and change trains to go to the shopping area I wouldn't go for this hotel again. Because if you've walked all day long, walking the 10-15 min back is very hard for your feet!

Good hotel, clean, good rooms. Good front of house team. Nice bar and I enjoyed the food.
Excellent value via Yeego - I would highly recommend.
The Thistle looked after our conference very well.
Just wish I'd printed clearer directions from Tube Station before I set out :-) That's my learning though.

Hotel was excellent, staff very helpful, clean and good choices for breakfast. Only minor complaint, drinks at the bar were expensive but maybe expected for London hotel.

This hotel is centrally situated about 10 minutes walk from the nearest Underground station (Old Street or Barbican ) . Reception and public areas are very impressive . Staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. The only objection we had was that there was a third bed in our twin bedroom which made the space very tight. Breakfast was very good allthough I recommend that you book it inclusive as at over #16 it is an expensive add -on. All in all we had a very pleasant experience in this hotel.
