Top Design Museum Hotel Reviews

Brit Hotels Earls Court

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, well-located hotel. Very helpful and friendly staff."

Bob W London Hyde Park

10/10 Excellent

"The room was tidy and super clean! Staff, when there, were friendly and helpful. It appears there is a snack bar there but not operational. I would suggest a self help/pay coffee bar and snack bar available in lobby."

Royal Garden Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good hotel, but check your bill carefully! The hotel itself was very good and in an excellent central location. My wife and I stayed with a group of friends after attending an event nearby, and we were perfectly happy with our stay — until breakfast the following morning. This is where things became disappointing. Our bill stated a 12.5% service charge, yet we were also charged an additional £3.50 per guest — £21 in total — even though our guests had already paid for their breakfasts separately. I find this extremely misleading. If a charge is described as 12.5%, then that is what a customer reasonably expects to be charged. Adding further charges without making them absolutely clear is, in my view, deceptive and leaves a very poor impression. It’s a shame because we genuinely liked the hotel. My advice: enjoy your stay, but check your bill very carefully before paying."

Merit Kensington Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was small but nice and clean. Air conditioning worked well."

Safestay London Kensington Holland Park

10/10 Excellent

"We had a family room (3 beds) for one night. Yes, it’s a hostel, so no, it’s not a plush hotel. But for the cost, the place is great. Fantastic location and friendly staff. 3 comfy beds in a good size room, and an en-suite with a great shower. A TV in the room, which we could use BBC iplayer on fine, and somewhere to get some food if you needed. What’s not to like."

Miiro Templeton Garden

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff, great location."

The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed with you many times and are always pleased."

The Park City Grand Plaza Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms"

The Kensington Hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are small making it difficult to unpack … beds are comfortable, hotel is clean and well maintained, staff friendly enough and good location…. close to the train."
