Top The British Museum Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"Nice Hotel. 2 minutes walk to Big Ben! Staff were very friendly. Rooms are very clean and modern. Only gripe was no view as we had an atrium view but we weren’t in the room long enough to worry. "

Bedford Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was very nice. Ours looked out over a lovely courtyard (which was especially good because the street itself I did not love. Very busy with fast food and souvenir shops). Separate toilet and shower, which is great. The bar downstairs was outrageously loud both (week)nights we were there. Like college-bar-loud. But the room was quiet. The location is very close to the British Museum and Underground stations. Not very impressed with the breakfast, but not terrible (and not included)."

Tavistock Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good stay overall. Location is good and hotel is pretty basic as is expected of this price range. The check in process was not the best though with the staff providing us a slightly delayed check in which would have been ok but they were unapologetic and I felt like being blamed for asking for my room. Only one staff member was like that and others were fine."

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay from start to finish. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and check-in was smooth and efficient (just note there’s a £25 deposit, which I hadn’t expected). The room was spotless, and the little touch of chocolate on arrival was a nice surprise. The location is very central, making it perfect for getting around. Overall, a 10/10 stay—I’d happily return!"

Zedwell Underground Hotel Tottenham Court Road

6/10 Okay

"The room was spartan with no storage. There was nowhere to place bags or hang clothes; they had to go on the floor or the bed. The water pipes were very loud both after use and randomly throughout the stay. Also, what I assume to be the Tube could be felt vibrating the walls while trying to sleep. There was nowhere in the room to get drinking water or refreshments, this was all one floor up in reception. The only towel hooks are right over the toilet and toilet paper dispenser, whichbis unhygienic. The location was convenient. "
