Thistle Kensington Gardens Hotel London

( 4 stars , London , United Kingdom )

fantastic location for parks and shops underground etc Hotel is a little dated interior and lifts very slow we were on the 9 th floor and took to the stairs!

Good value! Located near Paddington Station, convenient for reaching airport. Call for a taxi yourself. If hotel arranges ride then it will be a private car and you will be charged more!!!!

+ convenient - choice of food. There was nothing for children

Good value! I booked 3 rooms for a family vacation during Christmas season. Two rooms had great views of park. The room sizes were good, and rooms clean. Only negatives were that we didnt always receive our wake-up calls and the televisions in all the rooms seem to have a life of their own---turning on and off at will. The location was great, near tube stops and few pubs and Hyde Park area. Located near Paddington Station, convenient for reaching airport. Call for a taxi yourself.

Small Room, Decent Location I've stayed in three Thistle hotels, and while this one had pretty rooms, they were small. The views from the room were beautiful, overlooking Hyde Park, and it was close to the Queensway tube station. For a first time visitor to the city, its a little out of the way of all the touristy stuff. I do think that it was a little overpriced for the size of the room and the bathrooms, but if you're looking for a clean, nice hotel in a pretty location, it's a good choice.

We checked in for a 5 night stay and had a decent room overlooking Hyde Park - room was clean. The location of the hotel was great - after breakfast each morning we for a walk through the park, and the Tube was only a couple of blocks away.

very satisfied good location, very functional

+ The politness of the staff, the room, it's cleanliness, the wonderful firm matress ( especially important for people with back-problems!) the view, everything. - Elevators a little bit slow, especailly in the morning when every body is in a hurry to go

Nothing worked. Fluke? good location, good selection of restaurants, convenience stores, coffee places nearby, Queensway tube is closer than Bayswater, gas station right underneath a little bizarre (flammability issues)
