"Wonderful apartment. Everything was new. The staff were super helpful and courteous. There’s someone available at the front desk 24/7 which is really nice, especially because we had an early departure. The beds were comfy including the sleeper sofa. The shower is to die for. Convenient location, walking distance to good restaurants and several tube stops and museums. We had a wonderful stay and will be back. Thank you Lexham Gardens. "

Top Design Museum Hotel Reviews

The Drey - Kensington, Earl's Court

8/10 Good

"The bed was the size of the entire room not even a chair to sit on to tie your shoes. If you have luggage no good place to put it. The shower pressure and temperature was great. No in room TV to even see what is happening in the world. On the plus side very pretty well maintained. Has an elevator. Close to the metro station."

Garden View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly and helpful staff, who let us check in early as our room was ready. Small room as expected in London, but very comfortable bed, lovely, peaceful view over the park, quiet at night, and powerful, hot shower. Best of all, the window opened wide and there was a huge fan provided, so we slept well through the heatwave. We will definitely stay here next time we're in London. Highly recommend."

Ruby Zoe Hotel London by IHG

4/10 Poor

"I booked a ‘lovely room’ and ended up with an accessible room which was not ‘lovely’. The sink was below knee height, the mirror was below eye level and it had a stained white curtain instead of a shower cubicle. They refused to change to the room type I paid for as the hotel is full and i had already been in the room. There was nobody to escalate it to and IHG said Ruby hotels deal with their own issues which I didn’t understand. Therefore I had no option but to accept it in the end and change rooms the next day. The attitude of the staff was as if it was not their problem and that it was normal in London as ‘33% of rooms in London are accessible rooms’. As someone who stays in London most weeks I can confirm that is not the case as it has never happened to me before. Trading standards should investigate the scam of selling accessible rooms as standard rooms when there is a clearly separate booking type for accessible rooms. Great that they are available but I don’t want one and should be able to get the room I paid for and certainly from a reputable company like IHG. All in all for over £200 a night it was a very poor experience and I won’t be using this hotel again."

Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean and tidy and had all that was needed. The hotel is situated in a good location just 5 minutes from the tube and high street . The room was nice and quiet. Staff were all pleasant and helpful apart from one person who dealt with our left luggage who was a bit miserable . The big thing that brought down the star rating for us was that the hotel charges for left luggage . It is very disappointing that when you have spent a night with a hotel that luggage is charged for . I have not known a hotel to do this in the UK .Whilst it is not huge sums of money it is the principle of the matter ."
