"Good Location"

Good clean hotel with friendly staff. Make sure you include breakfast in your package as it`s a bit price otherwise. Some parking but it does cost £24 a night.

"Staff couldn`t be more helpful or polite."

A fabulous location and would consider staying again. We were upgraded to a deluxe room which was a real treat. However, when does shabby chic become just shabby? After the initial wow factor of the large well decorated and presented room wore off, we began to realise that the bathroom was rather dirty, some really cheap fittings, plug sockets not working and a lead so short on the kettle we had to prop it up on an upturned tray to use it. This said the location and friendliness of the staff more than made up for it.

"Good quality"

the hotel is in an excellent location, the rooms were huge and very well equipped. The only down side for me is the £ 24 per day to use the hotel car park.

"Thistle Hyde Park"

Staff were pleasant and helpful. The rooms were clean. The room for a double advance seemed a little small and our main light didn`t work but apart from that a very enjoyable stay.

Free upgrade to deluxe room. Much appreciated. More space in room. Fridge very useful and air conditioning was good. Slight problems with water flow to shower but as old building, to be expected. Nice hotel, staff friendly. Hotel in good area central for all amenities.

"Thrilled at being upgraded to a Junior Suite!"

On arrival we were told we had been upgraded from a Twin Room to a Junior Suite - as this was a girly week-end with my Best Friend this was such a treat! The room was lovely, the bath HUGE and all the staff were really friendly and helpful. The hotel is lovely and only a few minutes walk from Lancaster Gate tube station and it overlooks Hyde Park. Our only criticism was that the room was very, very hot and although we set the `air con` to Cold, nothing really seemed to happen. Despite that, we would definitely stay here again if we even spend another week-end in London.

"Good overall standard but room too hot."

Couldn`t really fault the hotel and breakfast, bed and room were all great. Only issue is that the room was too hot and air con did not help. They need to fix this.

"Good value - convenient location- close to tube & bus stop"

Stayed for 3 nights in a twin bedded room - most spacious room we`ve stayed in in this price range & this area. Well furnished with good bathroom which actually had a bath & shower - plenty of hot water & good thick towels. Convenient location for us as less than 10 minutes walk from Paddington station & only 20 minutes across Hyde Park to the RAH, V&A , science museum & Natural History museum. Bus stop just outside with frequent service into town & Lancaster Gate tube also close by. All staff (reception, dining room & housekeeping) were friendly & helpful. Good choice for breakfast of hot & cold options. Lighting was particularly good - good bedside lights for reading & all controls by the bed. Beautiful basins in the ladies on the ground floor! Only niggle was, in common with a lot of hotels, a notice is posted regarding reusing towels & the environment, & though guests comply the towels are whisked away regardless.

"Good location"

The hotel was lovely, the food was excellent, the staff were very pleasant. My only issue was my room had the most ENORMOUS mirror and a double bed that was squashed in a corner. The room was at the rear of hotel which was fine for a one night stop apart from when the lights were out and all was still there was a dreadful humming of a extractor fan or something similar, so not the best nights sleep. Avoid room 218

Lovely hotel in a good situation. Average uninspiring but filling breakfast. Well presented, clean and warm, staff polite and helpful. Maintenance needed on very noisy A/C unit in bedroom causing sleep disturbance in an otherwise comfortable room. The A/C in the breakfast area was making the same noise! Would visit hotel again.

"Thistle Hyde Park Hotel"

In a prime location, opposite Hyde Park, underground stations within 500 yards in each direction. Bus stops outside and opposite front of hotel on Bayswater Road to take you to and from central London. Hotel is very smart and clean. Rooms quite large, overlooking Hyde Park. Comfy beds with extra pillows available. All mod cons. No complaints at all.

"Perfect stay"

My husband and I stayed for two nights in February 2015. Lovely hotel, very comfortable and quiet. The breakfasts were delicious and the location right opposite Hyde Park was perfect. Lancaster Gate tube station is a five minute walk meaning commuting into London to see the sights was so easy. Next time we`re in London, we will definitely be back

"Clean, friendly, well run hotel. Ideal for Central London"

Nice traditional hotel - clean and well run, if a little tired in places, with friendly and helpful staff. Our bathroom could have used a visit from the maintenance man and a few licks of paint in the dining area and public spaces would go amiss. Good breakfast, comfortable and very easily accessed. Perfectly situated 300m from Lancaster Gate tube and ideal for Central London - all in all a good stay and we would definitely return
