Top Design Museum Hotel Reviews

Brit Hotels Earls Court

10/10 Excellent

"It was a lovely place to stay"

The Kensington Hideaway

8/10 Good

"The hotel room is truly small; larger people would have difficulty fitting between the wall and the bed to get in and out of bed. Good things about the room: nice quality sheets, pod-type coffee maker, tea kettle and refrigerator. The shower was much better than many in England and Europe, that is, it had a real door that closed so that water didn't splash on the bathroom floor! Hotel is close to Kensington High Street tube station and there is a nice Waitrose grocery store nearby. Lots of pretty good restaurants are in walking distance."

Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel but could do with some modernisation now"

Hilton London Olympia

8/10 Good

"My stay was comfortable."

Princes Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff, clean room, no hairdryer, great location, all-in-all a pleasant stay!"

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"Great and modern hotel property in perfect location for transportation and London night life. Easy access for day excursions"

The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington

8/10 Good

"El hotel es muy lindo, está muy bien ubicado y, en términos generales, la estadía fue muy buena. Sin embargo, siendo miembro Gold de Expedia, esperaba algún tipo de atención diferencial. Llegué un poco antes del horario de check-in y, aunque comprendo perfectamente que la habitación pudiera no estar disponible, faltó esa delicadeza que marca la diferencia: intentar facilitar un ingreso anticipado o, en su defecto, tener algún gesto de cortesía, como una botella de vino, un canasto de frutas o una pequeña atención. Creo que los clientes de Expedia con cierto nivel de membresía deberían percibir algún beneficio concreto, y que Expedia también debería cuidar más este aspecto con los hoteles que promociona, especialmente cuando sus propios clientes contribuyen a recomendarlos y darles visibilidad. Son pequeños detalles, pero pueden cambiar por completo la percepción de una estadía."

Miiro Templeton Garden

8/10 Good

"Great location and lobby is gorgeous. Shower leaked. Galway’s and rooms a bit run-down. Bed firm but very comfortAble. Sink leaked, adding to the pool of water on the ground from the shower. Called down for multiple things never brought. Fridge not actually cold. Water is only bottled and upon request after the two provided in room."

Point A Kensington Olympia

10/10 Excellent

"The room was really small not a size for two but it did the job honestly. I loved the location and alyesia was wonderful!"
