Not unpleasant but not great
The hotel itself is in a good location and everything is acceptable but maybe not as deluxe as the deluxe room description would suggest. I could not sleep due to ongoing noise and commotion directly above my room, which went on for several hours. Upon ringing reception, the man couldn’t quite understand what the issue was but eventually I asked him to check out what was going on and then it stopped. It didn’t sound like other guests as it sounded more like people were closing doors and sorting stuff out. In the morning, I ran a bath but had to properly wash the bath before I filled it as there were black bits of dirt stuck on the grip part of the bath. The tap also looked like it had been knocked as it appeared to be leaning forward. It’s not what I had hoped for from the stay which is a shame.

Convenient but inflexible with date change etc
Like typical London accomodation, small but it worked. This hotel is extremely inflexible about accommodating date changes regardless of your reason. I had an emergency as a physician so tried to cancel one night, they refused and were not willing to work around it. Definitely won't return as I can tell they are not customer service focused. The one night did not go to waste so no regrets but it was my first time there and will he my last.

OK stay
Overall OK. Location is good - close to Queensway station. Room is comfortable. Nice bed. Lots of noise from floor above. Very poor drainage in shower - short shower always resulted in ankle deep dirty water. Check in was poor - we were told international travelers got priority check in - rude woman at desk said come back at 3. Price is reasonable for area

Excellent hotel room with lots of space. Very comfortable beds and good bathroom. Controllable airconditioning was a good bonus. Wonderful view over Hyde park. No noise at night, despite being on a busy street. Wonderful location, close to tube stations and many restaurants and supermarkets. Would stay again and will highly recommend.

Excellent choice close to Paddington and Hyde Park
Arrived early but by the time we’d had lunch there our room was ready ( ahead of time). Receptionist was excellent, all staff greet you. Room was clean and lovely outlook over the park. Breakfast was excellent with good choices and no plastic jam/marmalade containers- all from jars. Really impressed and for the price - excellent!

Nice hotel on a budget
Comfortable 3-night stay at a very small Thistle hotel. The air conditioning didn’t work well so we slept with the window open and the bathroom floors always got soaking wet whenever we showered. These hotels really should provide better shower tub coverage. We requested more floor towels each day as they were always needed. Very good location with 2 Underground stations within a few minutes’ walk. Also very convenient for the Big Brown Bus Hop On Hop Off service. Also very convenient being just across the street from Kensington Palace. Friendly staff and nice English breakfast in the restaurant across from the lobby.

Good location. Booked a ‘deluxe’ double for extra space but was disappointing and very standard and tight for 2 people. Otherwise was comfortable. Liked the eco incentive of 7 pound voucher for managing without housekeeping. Would stay again.

This is a great spot to stay if you have young kids. Being so close to Hyde Park (Princess Diana Memorial playground!), the bus and the tube made getting around super easy. The staff are so friendly. We got in too early to check in, but they held our bags for us so we could go exploring.

Love this hotel
Hotel is in a great location opposite Kensington Gardens and close to pubs, restaurants, and the Underground. Spacious rooms that are well maintained and very clean. Highly recommend this hotel because while being close to the above it is also very quiet. Very accommodating staff. One disadvantage is the elevators are a bit slow but the stairs work!

Wonderful staff, Hotel is in a convenient walking distance from Paddington station. Close to two blind and bus routes. Hotel room felt a little rundown, however it was clean and well-maintained. The dining option for the hotel did leave something to be desired. Staff was delightful and helpful. However, the food was bland and poorly presented. I would personally stay at this property, but I would not access the food option within the hotel
