Top Design Museum Hotel Reviews

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 Hotel was looking a bit tired and outdated in the corridors and rooms.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."

Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

8/10 Good

"All good and nice just don’t have slippers"

Miiro Templeton Garden

8/10 Good

"A wonderful time at the Templeton Garden."

Royal Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, spacious, nice view"

The Park City Grand Plaza Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and friendly staff!"

Merit Kensington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean. It was a large room but it had double beds in it, made it seem crowded and hard to move around. If you are handicapped or have a hard time with stairs I would not recommend this hotel. You must go up stairs to check in and upstairs to your room. The location was a nice little neighborhood in Kensington with easy access to the tube. The reason I only gave 3 stars to staff is the we’re not very friendly and just seemed only interested in checking in and that was it. The rooms were cleaned and linen replaced daily. Overall I think this was a great value and nice hotel"

The Kensington Hideaway

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel. Lovely staff. Rooms are well equipped but pretty small. I would use again for a night or 2 but too small for longer than that."

Heeton Concept Hotel Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"L"

Point A Kensington Olympia

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Point A and was really pleased with my stay. The room was small, but that's exactly what was advertised, and they certainly weren't joking about it being cosy! What stood out most was how clean and well maintained the hotel was. It's genuinely one of the cleanest hotels I've stayed in. The bed was very comfortable, making it a great place to relax after a busy day. The staff were also attentive, friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, I was very happy with the hotel and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again."
