"Lovely stay"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
We stayed now already twice in the Thistle Hyde Park. We always loved this Hotel for its nice welcoming atmosphere. From the checkin to the check out we were greeted with a smile. The rooms absolutly beautiful and spacious. Especially the Junior Suite which we had as a complimentary upgrade for coming back. The Restaurant staff was really pleasant and helpful. All together we had a really enjoyable stay and are really impressed about the refurbishment of the rooms and restaurant. The Thistle Hyde Park is absolutley perfect for people who just would like to relaxe over a couple of days in London. I can't tell enough how enjoyable it is, from getting help with the luggage over check in to the clean rooms and all the service they provide to make the guest feel more than special

Good location, but....

My husband & I stayed at the Thistle Hyde Park for 3nights,we were visiting Wimbledon on the Saturday. First impressions good,very clean,tidy public rooms.Standard room not available,so they upgraded us - room 217,again first impressions were good,roomy and comfy,but no view, there was a flat roof outside with a 'very large' extraction unit .Oh well, it was an upgrade!Room very stuffy, air con didn't work, so the fan went on (and didn't go off, all the time we were there) windows didn't open - but probably good in a way,because when we settled down to sleep, the very noisy humming of the extraction fan was constant, all in all horrid nights sleep. Did request a change of room, but they were fully booked, but did provide us with earplugs, perhaps this was not the first time they had had this problem. Exhausted by the end of our 3nights - non-sleep - and would have to know the exact location of our room, if we did consider returning. P.S. They were slow in replacing croissants and pastries at breakfast, in fact when they were gone, they were gone.

Loved the Balcony!

I stayed at the Thistle Hyde Park for 3 days in the beginning of May. I was travelling with a friend and we had booked a room with twin beds, but upon arrival we were told that our room had some sort of plumbing problem and we were given two single rooms instead! That turned out quite well, and we were very happy. The rooms are nice, the bathrooms a bit small and there was the old-fashioned two-faucet tap in the sink which you rarely see now in the more 'modern' London hotels, and was impossible to use. The highlight of the room was a real balcony overlooking Bayswater and Kensington Gardens, very nice indeed. Staff was very attentive and seemed eager to fulfill your every wish, perhas even too much so! We didn't try the breakfast as we went to the Lido Cafe near the Serpentine, a 10 minute walk, and sat outside with cappucinos and scones, and watched the ducks, geese and people taking a swim in the pond. Would definitely ecommend this hotel.
