Top The British Museum Hotel Reviews

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

8/10 Good

"nice location air condition didn’t work the best but overall good location"

The Montague On The Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I spent 7 nights at the Montague this September / October. What an exceptional experience we had. The service from everyone, absolutely everyone was warm, friendly, professional and incredibly helpful when needed. Breakfast was provided and was both an abundant and varied buffet and table service. High quality with great staff. Location is a block from the British Museum and we loved the Bloomsbury location that was so central. We walked a lot from there to many neighborhoods. Afternoon tea was a treat and several evenings we had cocktails before dinner out at the bar. The room was not large, but adequate. The shower was one of the best we have experienced. The staff kept the room well supplied and very clean. My personal favorite was the coffee in the room. As in most hotels, there was coffee and tea and a hot pot for water. But our room had a small French Press with a coffee "sachet" of excellent, rich coffee that gave us each about 6 oz cup to begin our day. Mugs were ideal, with the red carnation logo, thin lip. And each day the staff refreshed the 2 biscuits and 2 bottles of water. The bed was incredibly comfortable. We appreciated that there was an additional voluntary daily charge that could be added which would be distributed to the staff, eliminating having to leave an amount on the last day in the room. I would return to this hotel any time in London. Again, a great experience!"

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

The Imperial

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely personalised welcome and simple check-in. Offered water on arrival. Only stayed one night, but will start longer next time. Great location for British museum and tube"

Tavistock Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Tavistock Hotel is my go to stay in London. It is close to both St Pancras and Euston stations so getting around London is easy and cheap. The staff was very helpful and answered all questions and made suggestions when needed. The breakfast buffet is outstanding and the Indian food is excellent. The terrace and bar are great for relaxing. Highly recommend!"

The Z Hotel Holborn

10/10 Excellent

"All inclusive was brilliant. Rooms are very small which was a bit of a struggle with no surface space to get ready and lack of mirrors for people getting ready in a club room but other than that faultless! Even made an effort in the room for our daughter’s birthday which was wonderful."

Gresham Hotel Bloomsbury

8/10 Good

"The staff is very helpful!"

President Hotel

8/10 Good

"We arrived at noon, too early for check-in but when we spoke to the concierge he said a room was ready & we could book-in now. But only internal rooms were ready & we took one. in hindsight this was wrong as we overlooked noisy machine equipment which made a constant noise & made sleeping difficult. The bedroom & shower room were both a bit small but nothing we couldn't live with. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice & lots available. Even though the hotel was very busy we were seated quickly. We had a lemonade & a coke in the bar, very small measurers & expensive. Even though we ordered at the bar & took our drinks away ourselves I was amazed to see a service charge added to the bill. Just not worth it. Housekeeping didn't service our room on our 2nd day and it was a bit of a faff to get it sorted. Now we know all this we probably will go back as we know the pitfalls to avoid."
