Top Design Museum Hotel Reviews

The Park City Grand Plaza Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed at Park City Grand Plaza many times and I am always happy with the condition of the Hotel, the helpful staff, and the overall vibes"

Point A Kensington Olympia

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are smaller and quite snug, so they are ideal for solo travel. Three euros to store luggage if you arrive early. I highly recommend a room with a window so it won’t be claustrophobic. Rooms are clean. Air conditioner works well. There are long-length mirrors and vanity mirrors which are awesome for getting dressed. There is an elevator inside the hotel. But you still need to climb a set of stairs to the front door. I opted for the room facing the garden and there was minimal noise at night. Beds are so comfortable and linens/towels are clean. Staff are great and friendly. There are grocery stores and restaurants nearby. Avoid grocery stores without price tags bc these are tourist traps. Earl station is a ten-minute walk. There are buses right on Cromwell Road so it is very convenient too if you want a set of scenery instead. Overall I would book again. Only recommendation is to change the soap/hair/body. The smell is so odd and water."

The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. All staff very welcoming and friendly. Nice bar."

Miiro Templeton Garden

10/10 Excellent

"Muy linda terraza y buen restaurante. Habitaciones limpias y en buenas condiciones"

Bob W London Hyde Park

8/10 Good

"The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and professional. It was a convenient location close to restaurants and walking distance to Hyde Park and other attractions. The only negative, was long wait got the elevator as only one was working during our stay."

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."

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

"L"

Safestay London Kensington Holland Park

10/10 Excellent
