Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The service and location were outstanding at thisle. It is directly across the street from Hyde Park and just a few blocks away from the underground and a variety of restaurants. The only aspect of this place which could use some improvement is some refinement of the breakfast service. The coffee / espresso maker was broken and the breakfast fell short compared to other offerings in the neighbourhood.

It was a nice stay. The breakfast is very good, with a lot of options. The walls are a bit thin, so if you happened to have a loud neighbor, this would be a problem; although I did not. It's conveniently located near tube stations and Paddington as well as Hyde Park. My one complaint is that they claimed that I would get a king bed. It was just two double beds pushed together. A wily trick!

Too hot!

The hotel on the advert looks big and spacious but actually the main areas dont really offer much other than a tiny bar and a breakfast area. Its super hot at night, you cannot change the air conditioning in your room as its all controlled by the hotels main system and on top of that the window opens about 2 inches. Terrible night..

We stayed for 2 nights in a deluxe twin. The room was clean, beds comfortable, lovely view out to Hyde park with the royal Albert hall and the London eye in eyesight. The hotel must have heating issues as the room had 2 plug in radiators when we arrived. With these on the room was comfortable, without it was cold. Good location

Not a 4*

Usual London experience - there should be more harmonisation on stars attributed to the Hotels as this one would never be a 4* star hotel anywhere in the world. I travel often and without a doubt this hotel would be a 2*, 3* at best in Dublin, Lisbon or Madrid.
