8/10 Very good

We love the location of the Thistle on Bayswater Road. They have triple paned the windows to keep the traffic noise down. The beds were okay, towels large and fluffy. The staff were helpful and the breakfast was good, particularly the scrambled eggs.

We had a lovely stay here and they upgraded us to a garden view which was awesome (could even see the london eye & the shard in the distance!) The room was clean and spacious. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Good location, not far from a tube station and bus stop. Having the convenience store under the hotel was awesome for snacks, water, coffee, etc. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others! 😊
