Hotels near Museum of London in London

My son and I stayed here last week for 3 nights. Hotel has very good location and was very clean. But nothing more good I can say about this place. The room was extremely small. Only because we came with small hand luggage, we can put it under the bed, with bigger luggage it was big problem. There is no place at all to take clothes from the luggage. Even not so easy to pass through the room because all the room space was the bed with few centimeters free space to pass. We really didn’t want some big room, because we came to be outside most of the time but every morning was challenging to dress up. Coffee machine also was out of service. There is paid service to store luggage for 12 hours after check out, and I have not any problem to pay for this service, but I expected there is toilet when we came to get our luggage before we leave to airport. And it’s not.

No doubt this is a unique place to stay. It really does feel like you are stepping back in time. The main area has a library with books that are hundreds of years old! There is also a sweet black cat who lives there. The staff are all incredibly nice. The area is quite nice and historic, and it’s close to the subway lines (underground and above ground). I had two issues with the hotel that other people may want to know about. One is the shower situation - some of the rooms have baths only and some have awkward showers. I’m not a bath person, so I struggled with this. The other is that they use a copper cleaner on the metal which has a funny smell. You do get used to it after being in the room for a little bit, though. So I’d say that if those things don’t bother you, the Rookery is a fabulous place to stay, and it will be memorable for sure.

Very nice Hotel in a good location with good tube access for popular sightseeing attractions. . The hotel was very clean and tidy and the rooms were very nice and spacious too. Breakfast was very good with a good variety to choose from. Would definitely stay here again

W/End away in London. We were looking for a hotel close to the river Thames & St. Catherine’s Docks inc. Tower Bridge & St. Paul’s Cathedral. Eventually we found the Clubquaters Hotel in St. Paul’s. which was was spot on for location. The hotel was superb, great facilities, inc. a gym. the room was lovely, Reception staff were very helpful. Just off the Reception is a direct link door to the superb Cotes Restaurant, so we could start our day off with a great Full English Breakfast. Yum…Yum it was spot on! The location of the hotel is superb….St. Paul’s Cathedral right next door…a Bell Ring away….the River Thames including the famous Millennium Bridge, a short walk away. Close to St. Paul’s Underground along with city bus stops and numerous extremely convenient shops., couldn’t fault it. Spot on!

Hilton has been a preferred choice of hotel, but it's my first time checking into Doubletree Hilton, and the expectation mustn't be high. I requested a high floor room with a good heater, but I was given a level 3 instead, and the heater control is rather old school. I wasn't given the toiletries when I stepped into the room and when I asked for it, housekeeping just provided me some items but they are unable to give me the toothbrush kit cause I'm staying in a deluxe room which is the lowest tier. Then the towel and the linen has some stench smell like it hasn't been washed properly. Lucky I was there for 2 nights only. The hotel is located close to 2 metro stations, and tower Bridge is within walking distance. Not cheap for the stay but I'm still pleased with the counter stuff being nice. Still give it a 3.5 to 4 for location and service.

The Edison is as good as ever and of such quality. Hotels in London are too expensive, so I booked the cheapest room type. On the downside, there is no view from the window. This hotel has a great feeling, the entrance is very beautiful, but there are many bars around at night, it would be scary to walk on foot. The toiletries are still specially customized by le labo. In the morning, the downstairs smells like coffee, and when you come back at night, it smells like le labo the noir, which is very comfortable. The room is fully equipped, the toilet is fully surrounded by rain, and there is mineral water. The light switch is also very delicate.

On arrival to check in, the male staff on reception were certainly not welcoming. First time I have ever been asked for proof of ID. I initially showed them a printout of the confirmation of the booking, but that was not good enough, thank goodness i had my driving license with me. To gain access to our room we had to walk across a courtyard to a side door which led to a lift and a maze of stairs. We were thankfully escorted to our room, otherwise, I do not think we would have found it. The room itself was very small and dark for a five-star hotel, not even a proper window. There were many buttons and switches in the room, but nobody had the courtesy to inform us of what they were all for and there were no instructions to hand in the room to help you work things out. In addition, the room safe did not work and as there were no do not disturb/room ready to be cleaned signs to hang on the door, a cleaner came to the room to service and clean it whilst my wife was in the bath. We subsequently found out that two of the mystery buttons in the room were for ”do not disturb, or room ready to be cleaned” but like the room safe, they did not work. I do firmly believe a five-star hotel should ensure everything is in working order before guests arrive. I have said below that this hotel does not have a bar or restaurant, well it does have both attached to it, but they do not belong to the hotel. You can have an all-inclusive breakfast rate when booking, but as my wife is not a breakfast person, we did not, and I paid for my breakfasts separately each morning. This was fine, but watch out, they add on a service charge to the prices on the breakfast menu and one morning I was overcharged. They had the cheek to charge me separately for my tea, which was already included in the menu price. Having said that, the serving breakfast waitresses were very friendly and efficient, as was the waitress who served and looked after us for our family Sunday Lunch. Yes, the hotel itself is kept very clean, as was our room, but I certainly would not rate it five stars.

Fantastic location and lovely boutique hotel.

The room was nice. The location is really superb. However, the check-in process took too long, around one and a half hours which it should not be that long when you have 4-5 receptionist there. The staffs is polite and helpful.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. I got upgraded free to the refurbished room from the classic room I booked. Small room and bathroom but with great facilities, a window that works and blinds plus curtains that block out the light. A little noisy because of the street down below but not bad. The room had a nice new AC unit and the shower pressure was very strong, maybe a little too strong with no clear way to reduce the pressure (it's either on or off).
