1-night trip

10/10

Across from Hyde Park, this hotel is in the perfect location for visitors who enjoy walking through London. Our room offered an amazing view of Hyde Park and because of the location we could end and begin every day with a walk through the park. My recommendation would be to take a different path each time because there is so much to see. The staff is friendly and the breakfast is a good choice for travellers who want to get up and go. This hotel is a ten minute walk to Paddington Station which was convenient for daily touring and transportation to Heathrow.

We had a great time. I took my sister down for her birthday and we did lots of exploring. The hotel was perfect for getting around with 2 tube lines very close by and easy walking distance into central London if you don’t like the tubes. Would be more than happy to visit again.

2-night trip

10/10

We have stayed at the Thistle Hyde Park several times. It is a great location close to several tube stations, lots of restaurants and Hyde Park for walks. There is a great breakfast and the staff are very helpful. We had a split stay at the Thistle and they were able to store our large luggage while we went on short trip to Edinburgh. Would highly recommend the Thistle and it has become our choice to stay whenever we go to London.
