    great location

    i recently stayed at the thistle for 4 nights, and it was fantastic! the staff were super friendly and welcoming, especially rupok, who helped us change to a king room after our initial space issue. the location is perfect, just a short walk to winter wonderland and right across from hyde park.

    great omelette
    nice breakfast

    Recommend it for families with children

    The breakfast was pretty decent. They had this one chef, Tyson, who made the best omelette I've ever tasted. You know it’s like a rare moment when you're away, and you get something that feels like home.

    It's not exactly cheap, but honestly, for what we got, it felt acceptable.

    spacious room
    comfy bed
    great location
    communication issues
    missing amenities

    The stay was a mix of pros and cons. While the room was spacious enough for us and the bed comfy, we faced several communication issues at check-in. The air conditioning didn’t work properly, which was uncomfortable during a hot day, and some amenities were missing, like extra coffee. the location is fantastic, close to public transport and parks, and the cleanliness of the hotel was commendable.

    cozy lounge
    well-equipped fitness center
    worn duvet cover

    Had an awesome time during my three-night stay! The fitness center had everything I needed for a good workout, and I loved relaxing in the cozy lounge area. Just a small note, the duvet cover could've been in better shape, but overall, I highly recommend it! 😊

    cozy room
    beautiful view
    friendly staff
    slow drain
    tiny bathroom

    During my last stay in london, i struggled with tiny rooms and poor service. At thistle, the cozy standard double room felt inviting with a fine view of kensington gardens, surprisingly spacious compared to others. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect for relaxation after a day of exploring.

    bathroom drain was slow to work

    cozy room
    comfortable bed
    chill lounge
    thin walls

    I had a lovely two-night stay in a cozy Standard Double Room, where I enjoyed snuggling up in the super comfy bed after a busy day out. The lounge was perfect for chilling and grabbing a quick coffee, and I appreciated having a nice shower to refresh me each morning. Just a heads up, the walls were a bit thin, but it really didn’t take away from my overall experience! 😊

    The lounge area was bright, airy, and filled with natural light, making it perfect for afternoon tea. I particularly enjoyed the large windows overlooking the greenery of Hyde Park, creating an inviting atmosphere for relaxation.
