Top Design Museum Hotel Reviews

Bob W London Hyde Park

8/10 Good

"This was a great place to stay. Good location. Friendly staff on site if you need assistance. Coffee bar was nice to have to get a coffee in the morning."

The Park City Grand Plaza Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is wonderful, clean with nice tub and shower. Nice staff. The only complaint is that room cleaning in the morning shouldn’t begin at 9:15. I had to put up a do not disturb sign the rest of the time during my stay. It’s a ridiculous time for the staff to ask to clean."

Point A Kensington Olympia

8/10 Good

"Could do with a little more room on other side of bed and a bed side table on 2nd side of bed, room was clean and tidy. well presented on arrival, staff were helpful, breakfast was good."

Brit Hotels Earls Court

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is lovely and in a great location, close to the tube, restaurants, Sainsbury’s, and a pub about 1 block away. The room & beds were comfortable and had AC. The bathroom while a bit small was functional & had a lovely shower. There is a small patio out front & a bigger one out back to sit & enjoy. The staff were friendly & helpful. Would definitely stay here again. Please note: there are no lifts at this hotel. While the stairs are not terrible to navigate, it could be challenging for those with mobility issues."

The Kensington Hideaway

8/10 Good

"The location was awesome. There wasn’t a Bar at this property. They did have a nice breakfast for you to purchase."

Ember Locke Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was everything and more. Loved the decor and style, There’s a TPee in the garden and it’s well cute! The staff were incredible. And the food was Devine!"

Garden View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed a few time before and it's been satisfactory but this time was excellent purely based on the room that I was assigned. I booked the twin room this time for a little extra space and was so nice. The room also had a view of a nice exterior space. My only concern is if I was to book this hotel in winter is if there would be heat. This particular room I had this time didn't have heat so that would be a question to ask if booking in colder months. But otherwise I would definitely book again. Very convient location to the Tube and great restaurants in Earl's Court."

Heeton Concept Hotel Kensington

10/10 Excellent

Safestay London Kensington Holland Park
