Top Science Museum Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel, London South Kensington

8/10 Good

"The bed was very comfortable. The reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. But oh dear don’t buy drinks at the bar. I was charged £48 for 2 glasses of red wine. This was daylight robbery and a shocking way to treat residents. Pity because it spoiled an otherwise pleasant stay."

The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was smooth and we checked in early and the room was available. The room was lovely, clean and the toiletries were fabulous. The location could not be better, right next to Gloucester Rd tube station. Highly recommend staying here."

The Exhibitionist Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in a nice area and staff were helpful. The shower was good and the towels were fluffy. The room setup, however, was lacking space to store anything so we had to live out of our suitcases. There was also minimal shelving in the bathroom to hold toiletries and the toilet paper holder was non-existent. The bed is very low to the ground. The plug was a little too far from the mirror so you couldn't blow dry hair while properly seeing what you were doing and the mirror in the bathroom was too high to fully see my face without standing on my toes. There's also no fridge in the room."

Bob W London Hyde Park

10/10 Excellent

"More of a self serve hotel where everything is done via guest area app or webpage. Nice location and there is alone staff member on site at the front desk to help with anything that is needed."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"Room very clean and comfortable, I was solo and I like my stay"

The Rembrandt

8/10 Good

"My room was very comfortable and breakfast, as always, was good. I ate in the dining room one night and that was sub-standard to say the least. My heat in the room did not work, so 24 hours after I reported it, two men came and looked at it but did not fix it. Luckily I was given a plug-in heater, so it was okay. I always enjoy staying at the Rembrandt - and it did not disappoint in location, convenience, breakfast or basic comfort."

Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

8/10 Good

"the location is excellent. Would have preferred to have a coffee machine instead of a pot. Breakfast was good. The rooms need a bit of uplifting, especially on the AC front...The hot water was rarely hot, just acceptable. Nevertheless the staff was lovely. Truly. Helpful and lovely. Th elocation was excellent too. I will stay there again."

The Queen's Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a classic boutique property with an unbeatable location near major cultural landmarks, warm service, and great breakfast.I loved the ammenities and the staff were stellar."

The Gore London – Starhotels Collezione

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely delightful 19th century style English hotel with period decoration in the rooms and excellent amenities. Comfortable robes, lovely soaps and shampoo, clothing steamer, refrigerator, tea pot, and - much welcome - a US style outlet in the bedroom alongside the UK outlets, which allowed me to use my hair curler which would not function even with my adapter in the UK outlet. The staff was lovely, and the breakfast was outstanding. Big, generous and tasty full English with endless pots of tea! The location can't be beat: within walking distance of one top level museum after another. I can't say enough good things about this hotel."
