4 night Easter trip

Excellent location- across the road from Hyde park , 2 mins from tube station, 1 minute from bus stop and 10-15 min walk from Notting Hill and Portobello market. Staff friendly and helpful, room clean and comfortable, nice bed and bath/shower. Breakfast very good and reasonable price - as one an evening meal we had. Would definitely recommend.

Great location!!!

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.

Love the Thistle!

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.

This hotel was excellent. It was clean, and very convenient and beautiful location. It is right across the street from Kensington Garden and you can get the tour buses right out front of the hotel. The breakfast buffet was delicious and lots of choices.
