Typical Customer Reviews
Below are some fairly typical reviews from customers that have stayed at the Thistle Hyde ParkHotel. They are independent viewpoints and not necessarily the view of this web site.

"I stayed in this hotel last weekend for 1 night with friends as had spent the previous night in the Central Park Hotel just up the road (do not stay there) What a lovely hotel! It's a little bit old fashioned but in a nice way. The staff were absolutely lovely especially at reception. The deluxed room was spacious as was the bathroom. The only downside was the air conditioning wasn't great. I think this would be a perfect hotel for families but I would definately stay there again with friends or even by myself
"

"Booked the standard double and was pleasantly surprised at the size of the room as it was significantly larger than rooms I have stayed at in the past. Certainly things are getting a bit dated but the room was very clean, the bathroom was huge and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. Location is great, only a few minute walk to both Paddington Station and Queensway underground. Recommended!"


"Chose hotel for period style - find modern hotels bland and featureless. We were upgraded on arrival from a standard double to a suite which was great and really impressed my daughter. We had a balcony overlooking Hyde Park. Receptionists were very friendly and helpful. Very convenient for siteseeing and Oxford Street.
Only negatives would be that the hotel is showing its age a little and probably needs a bit of an upgrade. No air conditioning just a fan in the room - was ok for us as weather was overcast and not too hot but could be an issue. A power shower would be a welcome addition (period is ok but a decent shower would be an allowable deviation!!)."

"We had a room with a balcony with a gorgeous view of Hyde Park. Located just across the street from Lancaster Gate. The staff was very helpful in recommending tour activities and restaurants. They kept the room very clean and took very good care of us. The rooms are beautifully decorated and it made us feel like royalty! Excellent value. Wonderul location in London within walking distance of lots of activities and steps away from public transportation. Our room is very spacious for a European hotel. Our room was on the second floor with a balcony view of Hyde Park. There's a small convenience type store less than a block away where you can pick up snacks/drinks for reasonable prices and lots of nearby restaurants within walking distance. Our room had a refrigerator which comes in handy when your traveling with a hungry teenager! There is construction going on nearby however we didn't hear any noise from it. Can't wait to go back to the Thistle Hyde Park London. My absolutely favorite city!!."

"Can't beat the location of this hotel for access to Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Paddington Station, convenient tube stops. Have stayed here twice now on our travels to London. We found the rooms to be very clean and comfortable; the desk staff was most helpful/accommodating. Our only complaint was getting caught in an over-booking situation, which seems to happen too regularly at this place. (Stand firm if it happens to you!) Had to negotiate hard to be booked into a comparable hotel and compensated for the inconvenience of having no room for one night of a two-night stay. Again, staff was great. Manager? Cannot say the same. Nevertheless....we would stay here again."
