I suppose some people like over priced hotels with no feeling of home but as a solo traveller I found it to be like staying in a bland, no personality and the staff seemed not to really care. The breakfast meal was okay, but once again it was like being on an assembly line. Not for me.... more

I stayed in this hotel for two nights with friends. I made it clear on booking that i needed a family sized or triple room as there would be two of us on the first night and three of us on the second night. When i arrived , i found my room to have two single beds and a camp... more

The hotel is in a great area - walking distance to Oxford Street and Queensway (few restaurants and clothing/tourist stores). I had a triple room which was a decent enough size considering what I've seen before. Note the twin bed is simply a bed thrown in the room and blocks excess to the closet and where the iron is stored.... more

First impressions on arrivng last weekend were really positive. Friendly and efficent check in and storage of luggage until room was ready later as it was only 11am when we arrived. We had booked a standard twin room, which was a good size on the fourth floor and had a view of the park. it was well appointed with everything... more

I stayed in this hotel last weekend for 1 night with friends as had spent the previous night in the Central Park Hotel just up the road (do not stay there) What a lovely hotel! It's a little bit old fashioned but in a nice way. The staff were absolutely lovely especially at reception. The deluxed room was spacious as... more

Certainly things are getting a bit dated but the room was very clean, the bathroom was huge and the... more

I booked a room at Thistle Hyde Park three weeks in advance and called reception the day of my arrival to let them know of my arrival time, which would be in the evening. When I arrived, the man at the reception desk said there was a problem with my booking. He said I'm supposed to be at the Thistle... more

Chose hotel for period style - find modern hotels bland and featureless. We were upgraded on arrival from a standard double to a suite which was great and really impressed my daughter. We had a balcony overlooking Hyde Park. Receptionists were very friendly and helpful. Very convenient for siteseeing and Oxford Street. Only negatives would be that the hotel is... more

There are pluses and minuses to this hotel, but circumstances can, at times, combine to render a harrowing experience. First, the good. It's a decent location, across from Hyde Park, a short walk (4-5 minutes) from the Lancaster Metro station and, a bit farther, Paddington Station. The style is stately with old-fashioned wood paneling (or at least what passes for... more
