Stayed twice at the Thistle Hyde Park., London. We stayed in May 2008 for 3 days and in October for 8 days. We had a room with a balcony with a gorgeous view of Hyde Park. Located just across the street from Lancaster Gate. The staff was very helpful in recommending tour activities and restaurants. They kept the room very... more

Can't beat the location of this hotel for access to Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Paddington Station, convenient tube stops. Have stayed here twice now on our travels to London. We found the rooms to be very clean and comfortable; the desk staff was most helpful/accommodating. Our only complaint was getting caught in an over-booking situation, which seems to happen too... more

Expected more from this hotel, room was very dark and creepy and the view from the window was not very good at all, overlooking the roof of the next building and the small back yard. Building next to the hotel is full of scaffolding and early in the morning could hear some noise in the room. Seems like the hotel... more

We booked for 3 nights at the Thistle Hyde Park. The hotel is next to a building site (old thistle hotel - shell) and it overlooks Hyde Park. The noise from the building suite didn't really disturb us, but if you fancy a lie in then this may not be the hotel for you. We booked room only, and on... more

My husband and I recently stayed at the Hyde Park Thistle hotel on an overnight birthday break in London. The £75 per room/per night deal we got was amazing (a ‘winter warmer’ special I believe) and included a very nice spacious room, a cooked breakfast the next morning and even a bottle of wine. The breakfast was fresh and cooked... more

My boyfriend booked this hotel for me as a surprise because of the central location and 4* rating. This didnt even match 3* ratings and have stayed in better 2* accomodation. Carpet was thread bare, cracking paint on walls, extremely small bed (and room in general), dusty room, needs modernising. We were so unhappy that we complained and were transferred... more

Tired old hotel with unfriendly staff and terrible rooms. Dirty, stained carpets and curtains, super small room, reeking of cigarettes. Check in/out was messy and slow, with a long line of tourists in tourist buses. Close to Hyde Park but otherwise area is unappealing. Surrounded by bad restaurants and uninteresting chain stores, you have to walk a long distance to... more

Although the address is Lancaster gate, the hotel actually faces Bayswater road. I had a room that overlooked Lancaster gate so it was quieter than one on the other side would be. It was very quiet actually. The bed was comfortable. The room was nice although there was some stains on the carpet and some of the workmanship of the... more

I stayed at the Thistle Hyde Park recently and was very pleased with the accommodation. The room was very spacious, decor very English, and overall the experience was a good one. In the interest of feedback to the hotel and other travellers, I offer the following comments. My main criticism would be the cost of wifi internet. A good hotel... more
