Top Design Museum Hotel Reviews

Miiro Templeton Garden

8/10 Good

"All good except: Wait staff should serve sugar, spoon and napkin with coffee, I had to ask for sugar, and then ask again for spoon Also cocktail was served over brimming with crushed ice. This made glass and table wet and dripped on my clothes. Please serve drink in an appropriately sized glass and ensure outside of glass is dry. Also please have a brief instruction near temperature control on how to change settings. Front desk staff were very helpful!!!!"

Brit Hotels Earls Court

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location, really helpful and friendly staff, and new, comfortable rooms (I stayed in a single without window). Close to Earl's Court with all the amenities you need, but off the main, busy road so much quieter. Would definitely stay again."

The Park City Grand Plaza Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay. The room was spacious and very clean. I loved the blackout curtains. They helped with jet lag. Great location."

"Na"

Hilton London Olympia

8/10 Good

"Decent one night stay in London. Helpful and friendly staff on check-in. Not the best hotel location wise for my trip but was okay. Surprised there was no swimming pool/spa facilities in a Hilton hotel. Hotel was looking a bit tired and outdated in the corridors and rooms. Only main negative was no body wash in shower. Overall, decent enough hotel for a weekend stay or something like that."
