Top Design Museum Hotel Reviews

Brit Hotels Earls Court

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Modern room with all the necessities-it was small but lovely. The coffee/tea/hot chocolate/water station along with the adorable outdoor terrace were a wonderful bonus to our stay. Would definitely stay again."

Miiro Templeton Garden

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was courteous and efficient"

Bob W London Hyde Park

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with tube station and restaurants nearby."

Merit Kensington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean. It was a large room but it had double beds in it, made it seem crowded and hard to move around. If you are handicapped or have a hard time with stairs I would not recommend this hotel. You must go up stairs to check in and upstairs to your room. The location was a nice little neighborhood in Kensington with easy access to the tube. The reason I only gave 3 stars to staff is the we’re not very friendly and just seemed only interested in checking in and that was it. The rooms were cleaned and linen replaced daily. Overall I think this was a great value and nice hotel"

The Kensington Hideaway

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel. Lovely staff. Rooms are well equipped but pretty small. I would use again for a night or 2 but too small for longer than that."

Heeton Concept Hotel Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"L"

Point A Kensington Olympia

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Point A and was really pleased with my stay. The room was small, but that's exactly what was advertised, and they certainly weren't joking about it being cosy! What stood out most was how clean and well maintained the hotel was. It's genuinely one of the cleanest hotels I've stayed in. The bed was very comfortable, making it a great place to relax after a busy day. The staff were also attentive, friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, I was very happy with the hotel and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again."

Ember Locke Kensington

Safestay London Kensington Holland Park
