This hotel was excellent, the location was super and the staf was very nice very clientfriendly. Room was great, we had a room on the 6th floor and with a view on Kensington gardens. One of the hop on hop off bus (bleu line of big bus tour) stoped in front of our hotel! I can recommend this hotel to anyone! You Will get an total expirience.

I stayed at the Thistle Kensington Gardens for 6 nights in october 2011 , great service , great location ,4 minutes walk to Queensway and Bayswater underground tube , 94 bus into the city only 1 minute walk from the hotel , great breakfast with lots of choice , lots of restaurants down Queensway and a number of lovely English pubs close by , its above the 24 hour Shell station , which was very handy for late night food and drink . i am going back to the Thistle in November 2012 for 6 nights again .

It was one night stay and for that the hotel is perfect. We booked executive room so I thought it would be something special but it wasn't. However the room was clean and spacious. As bonuses we got 2 bottles of water and bathrobes. Staff (I've met only one young gentleman at the reception) was VERY nice and helpful =)
I would stay there again.

Great views of Hyde park. What seemed like a brand new bedroom, comfortable bed and Great shower. Hop off and on tour bus which stops right outside the door. Helpful concierge for a taxi in the evening. Fantastic service in the bar after the theatre and superb breakfast which we could eat at 11.30 as breakfast runs later on Sunday's apparently... Don't normally write reviews but have stayed in many hotels on business and for a quick weekend retreat with the wife the hotel could not be faulted, perfect.
