We had a 4 night stay at the Kensington Thistle. The hotel in a good location 5mins walk from the Queensway tube station and right opposite Kensington Gardens. The Standard Double rooms are on the small side but in my experience this is not unusual for London hotels. The hotel is clean, quiet at night and is clean and well... More

Stayed at the Thistle with my 4 year old daughter and partner, upgraded to a corner park view room ( stayed 1 night in a standard room, which was much too small for 3 of us ) well worth the upgrade! lovely views and no noise. Breakfast is worth the 12 pounds (with voucher) simple breakfast but all nicely cooked... More

We have stayed here a couple of times now. January 2012 for about a week and again 22-24 October. January we stayed in interconnecting rooms; October in a family room and we much prefer the family room. It was very spacious. You enter into a sitting area with a couch, that later pulls out to a bed for the kids,... More

I thought the cab driver had dropped me off at a service station! There is a service station in front of the hotel which did actually come in handy to buy bottled water and snacks. The hotel is on the corner of Bayswater Road and Porchester Terrace. Bayswater is a very busy road with lots of traffic. When you enter... More

The staff were professional, helpful and friendly... Our room was 415, it was clean, well maintained and we faced Hyde Park. It was a standard double, and also had air con or a choice of opening the window. It was a king size bed that could be split into two if we wanted. It was comfortable and clean. The bathroom... More

We were in London to celebrate my wife's birthday and asked for a room overloking the park. The very helpful ladies on Reception gaved us an upgrade room on the 8th floor with a great view - all the way from Canary Wharf, past The Shard, The London Eye, Ally Pally, Battersea Power Station and The Albert Hall to (through...

It was our first trip to London, stayed in this hotel for one night. I really liked the room with huge panoramic window to Kensington Gardens and king size bed! Was not so pleased with restaurant. We were expected something different, food very standard, dessert was too small, tiny! Design is too standard. But in overall we enjoyed our staying.... More

Stayed here for 1 night and found the experience to be a delight from start to finish. Check in was a real pleasure with the check in staff being very friendly and highly professional. The rooms I think have been re-modelled fairly recently and this has been done to a very high standard. We were given a wonderful room that... More

My daughter and I (40 and 68) spent 8 days at this hotel and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The room was very comfortable (we had a standard double) and clean. It is comparable in size to other European rooms. I would certainly recommend this hotel. The staff was very friendly and professional. We did... More
