Not a bad hotel for somewhere to rest your head

We were only there for one night and as it was for marathon didn’t really utilise the hotel Only comments were the bedding didn’t seem clean clean and seemed to have black fluff on it but it was fine. The room was small but cosy The bathroom did smell a bit but not to point that it put us off as we just sprayed deodorant in there lol Bottles of water nice touch - would of been good to leave a biscuit maybe to go with the tea Short walk from train station too so that was handy I would still say it was expensive but it is London on a weekend

Room was tiny. The bed even smaller. The comforter was small. The shower leaked water all over the floor. The breakfast was horrible and cold. Hard to get coffee and couldn't 1 morning. Asked the staff for a cork screw for a bottle of wine for my wife and i and was told by staff to walk 3 blocks away and buy one. Elevators were tiny. Not a place for anyone over 5 foot 8 tall. The man that checked us in was the only nice part about our stay.

We stayed 4 days in a room in a garden view room. It was only just high enough to see the gardens so a bit disappointed but the room was comfortable and bed was great. Breakfast had a nice selection available. Staff were friendly and helpful. The Bug Bus (Blue route) has a stop out the front of the hotel which was convenient. The hotel is on the opposite side to where all the sites are and about a 30 - 40 min walk dependent on your speed. Overall a nice stay but expected a bit more

4 night Easter trip

Excellent location- across the road from Hyde park , 2 mins from tube station, 1 minute from bus stop and 10-15 min walk from Notting Hill and Portobello market. Staff friendly and helpful, room clean and comfortable, nice bed and bath/shower. Breakfast very good and reasonable price - as one an evening meal we had. Would definitely recommend.

The staff was really accommodating and very helpful overall. They even let us store our luggage free of charge when it was our checkout. The greatest strength of the hotel is that it has a view of the Kensington garden from a side of the hotel and of course is close to the bayswater station and the central line and few blocks from Oxford Street so overall great location would comeback

A nice place to stay due to proximity. Rooms were nice and clean. Plenty of room with comfortable bed. Would love to see better breakfast options and coffee was subpar. Coffee machines were old and malfunctioning and just put out rubbish.

Love the Thistle!

We have stayed at the Thistle Hyde Park several times. It is a great location close to several tube stations, lots of restaurants and Hyde Park for walks. There is a great breakfast and the staff are very helpful. We had a split stay at the Thistle and they were able to store our large luggage while we went on short trip to Edinburgh. Would highly recommend the Thistle and it has become our choice to stay whenever we go to London.

Great location!!!

We had a great time. I took my sister down for her birthday and we did lots of exploring. The hotel was perfect for getting around with 2 tube lines very close by and easy walking distance into central London if you don’t like the tubes. Would be more than happy to visit again.

Unfortunately our car was broken into and 2 suitcases stolen whilst parked in the car park underneath the hotel despite the facility being secured between the hours of 10 pm to 6 am. This ruined what was otherwise a pleasant two days walking around London with my wife who was returning from visiting her family in China

The Thistle Hyde Park Kensington Gardens hotel in London is in a great location. The room was very nice with a great view of Hyde Park. The breakfast was great. The staff was very well dresses and courteous but they could use some additional training to better meet guests' needs. I needed information about taxis in the area, the staff responded quickly but said they were referring me to others. I never received any additional response from the hotel so I had to reach out and find the information myself. This caused me some anxiety and when I got to the hotel, there was an Uber machine in the lobby! That would have been nice to know. Second, we asked for a wake-up call and it came 47 minutes late - not helpful. Third, we said we would be leaving early the next morning and staff assured me we could gets some breakfast items to go since we had paid for breakfast. There was nothing for us when we left early the next day to go on a tour. The positives did outweigh the negatives so we might stay there again.
