 Once checked in and up in the room we did understand why other people have mentioned how the rooms seem tired They are but for us it didn t take away from the experience and my friend described it as shabby chic Aside from that we really don t have any complaints about our stay although the cleaners could probably do with paying a little more attention to cleaning on top of things like mirrors and doorframes something we probably wouldn t have noticed if it hadn t been for the fact we watched Ramsey s Hotel Hell during our stay 
 Upon arrival at the Thistle Hyde Park we were greeted by an extremely cheerful member of staff on reception As it was only 10 45am we d stopped in to see if we could leave our bags there but were informed that our room was ready for us and we could check in straight away Not only that we d also been upgraded to a deluxe twin which was a lovely surprise after a tiring morning travelling The room itself was wonderful and extremely comfortable with a view out across the park even if it was mostly tree tops We both slept fine and the hotel was very quiet Upon check out the following day the staff also offered to keep our bags for us while we went out into the city something I haven t experienced before without having to ask myself
