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!

Pros: excellent location, room size good considering price. Rooms clean and well maintained. On site bar open late, with attentive staff. Front office staff very pleasant, even considering the high volume of check ins and check outs that happen each day. Near a metro station and across from Kensington Garden (we enjoyed the view of the Garden from our room on an upper floor). Suggestions: The Bar/Restaurant bathrooms get a pretty high volume and need to be cleaned more frequently throughout the day. Note: If you have any physical challenges, the elevators get backed up with the many travelers with lots of luggage. We used the stairs most to the time, which was fine, but if you have physical mobility issues and are using this hotel as a base, you may be a bit frustrated.

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.
