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."
