"The location was fantastic - it was on a very quiet side street only a couple minutes walk from restaurants, the tube and a supermarket. The staff were friendly, and always willing and able to help. The room was basic, but had working air conditioning and a very convenient kitchen area, with an oven, microwave, and refrigerator, which all came in handy. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but everything else was great."

Top Kensington Central Library Hotel Reviews

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very nice and clean! The staff was helpful, and location was central to many walkable attractions."

Miiro Templeton Garden

10/10 Excellent

"Very much enjoyed our stay at Templeton Garden. The hotel is beautifully designed, in a great location, and the staff throughout our stay were warm and helpful. Our originally booked room was quite small, so we decided to upgrade to a suite, which made a huge difference. The suite was lovely and had its own private door leading up a staircase directly to the garden - such a special feature and one of our favorite parts of the stay. The garden itself is beautiful and gives the hotel a peaceful, residential feeling despite being in the middle of London. We also really enjoyed the overall design and atmosphere of the property. I would happily stay here again, although I would definitely recommend considering one of the larger room categories if space is important to you."
