Top The British Museum Hotel Reviews

The Z Hotel Holborn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean. Small but functional and airconditioned. The staff was polite and helpful. Cannot comment on the breakfast because did not have one."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are very minimalistic and small. Since the room was only required for sleeping it was not an issue. The hotel uses an AI messenger which you can use to contact with questions. The first night we ran into an issue because the shower drain did not work properly causing the water to flow into the room. I contacted the messenger and received a response within 30 minutes. We were given the option to switch rooms or request maintenance. We opted to switch rooms. The new rooms did not have issues. The location of the hotel is a bit hidden, but it is very close to the Piccadilly line which we used to go and return on our way to the airport. The location was great because we were within 15 mins to the palace and Big Ben. Overall, the hotel was great, I do think they need to do a little more maintenance in the rooms, but would definitely stay again. "

Thistle London Bloomsbury Park

2/10 Terrible

"From the moment we arrived, the experience felt far below what you’d expect from a Thistle hotel in central London, especially for £160 for one night. We arrived around 13:30 and understood we were early, however after the receptionist checked with a manager, we were told the room “wasn’t ready”. The interaction honestly made us feel as though we were being pushed towards paying the early check-in fee instead, so we left our bags and went into London. When we returned later that evening, check-in became frustratingly chaotic. Despite handing over numbered luggage tags matching each suitcase, we still had to describe every bag before they’d return them. At the same time, the receptionist claimed she couldn’t find our booking, despite the earlier team locating it instantly. What made it worse was repeatedly being asked how to spell my surname whilst she was literally holding my ID. The room itself was genuinely shocking. Tiny, shabby, visibly dirty and covered in dust, stains and marks. We ended up wiping surfaces down ourselves. The TV had no sound, there was only one usable plug socket, and none by the bedside. Looking outside, there was rubbish and McDonald’s waste scattered below. Even breakfast ended awkwardly when we were questioned as to why there were two guests, despite my Hotels.com confirmation clearly stating a twin room for two people. Almost every interaction felt uncomfortable, disorganised or below standard. This experience was nowhere near what I expected "

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

6/10 Okay

"While the location is perfect, the hotel lacks security upgrades. STG has been my go-to hotel for over 20 years. However, lacks appreciate security measures. An individual could potentially walk off the street right up to the room. The room door remains without additional security measures. The self check-in is an upgrade in technology with supportive personal for thouse who may experience challenges. This however appears to be the only visible improvement."
