Thistle Kensington Gardens  

We enjoyed our stay at Thistle. Our party included myself and my two adult daughters. We stayed in a triple room which was neat, clean and roomy. We really liked the large bathroom and the fantastic shower! It was perfect for us, near the Tube station and the little gas station/store right nearby was perfect for those snacks, drinks, etc we may need. We enjoyed the nearby restaurants and the Starbuck. This hotel was perfect for our needs out early for sightseeing, in late and a comfortable bed to relax.

Location is good enough, close to Queensway and Bayswater tube stations. The price was resonable after discount. Supermarket and breakfast cafe locates in walking distance.

Very small room (usual for London), hotel staff usually was friendly, but not always helpful. Room microclimat was difficult to regulate (either too cold or too hot).

I liked the proximity to the underground, Marylebone. I enjoyed the view. I'd recommend this hotel based on that reason. Exquisite. The breakfast was delicious, having the chef there to serve you was a welcomed change.

I didn't like the size of the elevators and low hallway ceilings, my partner is a very tall man who had to duck when walking to our room. Other than that, it was a wonderful hotel and a perfect few days.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The hotel is very well situated, across the street from Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. It is less than 5 minutes to Oxfordstreet with bus, that stops outside the hotel, or about 15 minutes walk. The hotel was clean and fresh. Honestly I did not expect it with London hotel standard in mind.

close to Royal Albert Hall and across road from park.

Location is very good. very near underground. quiet hotel and friendly staff.

Entrance to hotel is off a side street, and there is a petrol station in front of the hotel. reception is on first floor so you have to take lift to reception.

Great location, very nice and helpful reception staff

The only problem is the internet service is not free in the rooms

This was booked for my mum & dad as a Xmas present. They wer upgraded to a suite. They raved about the hotel and location. They thought the staff and food were excellent. The service was (in their words) first class. My mum is a stickler for cleanliness. Her opinion was excellent. One quick tip, I didn't book the breakfast online, due to the £15 charge. However on arrival were offered breakfast at £10 each. They took the offer up and said it was worth the cost (considering it is central London). All in all, they were happy, so I was happy. Gonna book myself in there, to check it out.

Nice spacies rooms,clean,professional staff.

Size of rooms for a london hotel

Clean and modern, central location near tube

Lifts need updating did not work on all floors. Staff not all on the ball slow service. Need to check bill for errors as quite relaxed about over charging.

Lovely modern clean hotel. Would stay again, although the room and bathroom were on the small side. Excellent shower!

Dint fancy the fact that the room service isnt 24/7.

The rooms were comfy and clean and just right for our two night stay. The porter at the entrance each day was more than helpful a credit to his job and the hotel. The location was great right next to two underground stops. We would recommend a stay here as Hyde Park was a nice option being as it was just adjacent to the hotel
