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.

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.

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.

Wonderful hotel with beautiful views
This hotel was excellent. It was clean, and very convenient and beautiful location. It is right across the street from Kensington Garden and you can get the tour buses right out front of the hotel. The breakfast buffet was delicious and lots of choices.

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
