"The location was fantastic - it was on a very quiet side street only a couple minutes walk from restaurants, the tube and a supermarket. The staff were friendly, and always willing and able to help.

The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but everything else was great."

Top Design Museum Hotel Reviews

Garden View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service, clean hotel"

Hilton London Olympia

8/10 Good

"Big rooms, great breakfast. Small gym and rooms fire alarm outdated. The shower rooftop had a hole and no curtains means a lot of water pouring out of the shower every time. The rest is great!"

Royal Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay at the royal garden hotel. Received a lovely surprise at check in & on entering the room. Received room upgrade & bottle of brut, birthday cake & fruit in room. Beds very comfortable. Would not have thought room was facing Kensington High Street."

Bob W London Hyde Park

8/10 Good

"Although the room was smaller than anticipated, it provided enough space for our two-night stay. The on-site coffee shop was a great amenity, though it was a bit inconvenient to find it closed on Sundays."

Safestay London Kensington Holland Park

8/10 Good

"Very comfortable. Great location. Great coffee and breakfast in morning!"

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"Great location to travel to/from LHR on the Piccadilly Line. Easy to walk to SoHo, and China Town. Room was nice. The shower overflows though. You can store your luggage for a fee if you get in before check in time. Had to look around to find the lobby entrance, but it’s next to the Five Guys. There are no windows in the rooms. The AC was ok, room felt decent but not cold."

The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington

"Lovely comfortable room in a stunning hotel."

The Park City Grand Plaza Kensington
