The staff was very friendly and the location was great! The rooms were just smaller than pictured and the walls were so thin. We could hear everything and had a horrible time sleeping because you could hear people walking in the halls and doors shutting all night.

Our stay from booking to departure was really great. Our flight came very early in the morming and we forgot to request early checkin. They were incredibly accommodating- gave us our room early. Rooms were clean, bathroom shower the best!! My son was so happy that it felt like home! They had gluten free toast - very happy with breakfast. One of the Front staff- Raheil was always fast to fix any minor issues - remote broken. Helpful with any questions or requests. We were a party of 8 - 2 children.

Hotel is in a great location, has friendly staff, is clean. The only issue was that the AC & fan system in the room was practically non-existent. They did provide us with a portable fan which helped.

It was a nice stay at a Great location. The only complaint I have is the AC was not working in the room. They did at least bring us fans which was nice to have. I kept the window open at night and it worked to cool the room.

We had an excellent stay at Thistle hotel. Our room was ready early and Rahul was kind enough to let us check in early. The room was spacious and clean. We really appreciated the air conditioning as many of the places we stayed before did not have it. We had dinner in the bar and the service was very good. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Convenient Hotel for our sightseeing
The hotel was in a very convenient position. Across from Hyde Park, walking distance to Queensway tube station and also close to Kensington and Notting Hill. The room was comfortable for our stay and check in was very easy. The hotel allowed us to store our baggage on our last day, so that we were able to go out to do more sightseeing. We did pay extra for breakfast, where there was a fair range of choice. Would definitely return to this hotel.
