8/10 Good

Nice area by Kensington Gardens, near Queensway tube. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Good breakfast, nice bathroom. Asked for a garden view but 3rd floor room was too low.

10/10 Excellent

General ambience helpful staff good breakfast
Robert, 2-night trip

Great location, well equipped rooms. Lush comfy bed too.
Cheri, 1-night trip

The rooms need to be updated including the carpet. Great location with 2 Tube stations nearby and the hotel is right across the road from Hyde Park.
Peter, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location, basic hotel but everything we needed for one night.
Christianne, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great stay. Property and staff were excellent. The breakfast was well worth the extra cost. Centrally located and next to the park which was very nice. Only issue was the AC didn’t work the first night but they gave us a new room the 2nd night
Joshua, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place to stay!
Martina, 4-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I do not recommend this hotel, nor would I ever consider staying in any Thistle hotel again. They pulled a bait & switch on our room. If we had been staying longer than one night we would have walked out and found another hotel.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was clean, very well located and the service was very good.
Monique, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Spacious room with a green leafy outlook. Convenient to Paddington Station. Good breakfast.
Ann, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hotel in a lovely location. Parking underneath the hotel was easy to book. Would definitely stay again
Daniel, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Pictures seemingly leave out the hotel is above a Shell station and the garden view includes a lovely view of the gas station. Room wasn’t clean, shower faucet dripped, carpet was stained, drapes were covered in dust and stains. This was a poor choice of a place to stay.
JT, 2-night trip
