Just about everything was perfect, and I had high expectations. The staff were pleasant and helpful any time of day; the lobby and bar/breakfast room were welcoming. I had a small single room on the top floor which overlooked a courtyard more or less; the space was clean, bright, and well-appointed. The full-size bathtub was much appreciated after a long day of exploring the city. The location was brilliant with great transit access and so close to the V & A. As I'm not a big breakfast person, I only bought the hotel breakfast the first morning. The pastry and cappuccino were good (proper cappuccino, not from a dispenser or Nespresso-type maching!), but I can't say it the breakfast overall was good value. Instead, I ventured over to Gloucester Rd (about a seven-minute walk) for foodstuffs at Waitrose and Pret-A-Manger.

The elevator, but that can't be helped! It's very, very small, so if you're the slightest bit claustrophobic and you can't manager stairs, you might want to look elsewhere. The shower door seemed awkwardly placed, and the bathroom mirror was much too high up the wall.

The hotel has a vibrant and artistic atmosphere—each corner feels like a curated gallery, making it truly stand out from typical boutique hotels. The room was beautifully decorated, clean, and surprisingly quiet considering the central location. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I appreciated the attention to detail, from high-quality toiletries to quirky design elements. Staff were friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful, offering great recommendations and making check-in smooth and efficient. Location-wise, it’s fantastic—just a short walk from the Natural History Museum, V&A, and South Kensington tube station. Perfect for exploring the city while staying somewhere peaceful and full of character. I’d highly recommend The Exhibitionist Hotel to anyone looking for a stylish, fun, and memorable place to stay in London. Can’t wait to come back!

Artwork in corridors is interesting, staff were attentive & efficient, location was amazing, close to tube & museums & cafes etc, good to have a separate shower & bath, nice amenities ( Rituals), quiet room, bed was comfortable & good size ( King), good aircon

Area around the bed was too small, there was a regular noise of water going through pipes through the night, shower was too small, had a superior room but the extra space was a long hallway to the door, not actually where it was needed around the bed area & shower, the bedside lamp couldn't be turned off easily while in bed, it was too far away, fail to see why this room was superior due to above niggles mentioned, in fact the room next door was a regular room & had a big shower & no wasted space with no useless corridor to make up the square footage, average breakfast. Definitely not a 5 star property, would give it a 4 at most

Location, lift, bathtub and separate shower. Restaurant and bar downstairs is very nice.

Room quite small - no fridge.

The location was fantastic. Just around the corner from The Natural History museum & science museum. South Kensington underground was only a 5 minute walk. I was delighted & surprised to find my room had its own little private balcony with table & chairs. As I am not a tourist when visiting, I actually utilise my hotel rooms a lot so it was lovely sitting on the little balcony with coffee & a book.

Probably breakfast had limited choice for a five star, but it was still lovely & fine for me.

Such a quirky hotel covering different artistic influences with murals on the staircases leading up to each floor and artwork in every public space. Your room feels opulent and has a lot of historical features . We stayed in a standard room and there was water,tea and coffee(sachets and machine) plus biscuits and a pack of crisps left for you.The bed was large and very comfortable with plenty of pillows. The bathroom had a lovely walk in shower as well as a bath with good toiletries and fluffy towels. We also had a small balcony with a table and 2 chairs which was a nice bonus.Although it looked across to the windows of another building in the distance,it was lovely to have the extra space. The staff were very friendly,courteous and professional and, although we were early,they stored our luggage and told us they would inform us if the room was ready early. We had a drink in the bar on return from our show at the Albert Hall and although the ladies were wrapping up for the evening as their was only a few people in there,there was no problem getting served. Another lovely stay,thank you.

The only thing was the light at the bottom of the TV as it was quite bright and disturbed my husband,he got up and put some towels in front to dim it.

Everything was great! Zita from reception was amazing and made everything easier! She was really helpful, professional and friendly and even came to help us with the tv at night! I wish i could find people like her in every trip! The room was very clean and they changed towels every day! Breakfast was excellent, with many options and great quality! We really appreciated that the staff had prepared a table for our company of six! The rooms were quiet and you could change the temperature in everyroom! Location was great, 5 minutes from the metro station and 3 minutew from 3 great museums! The neighbohood was clean and safe!

This was the second time we have stopped here, the location being absolutely perfect for an event we were attending at the Royal Albert Hall. The whole decor throughout is amazing we love it, loads of quirky details. The two for one cocktails hit perfectly and the breakfast was faultless very delicious. The staff again incredibly friendly and helpful top marks to them. Also very lucky as we had a small balcony to the front of the hotel which was unexpected but much appreciated. (Last time we stopped I paid for a balcony and it was very under whelming over looking a building site ) This time unexpected and over looked the museum.

The only thing I could say is we found the room very small very little room around the bed and to step up out to the balcony but I can’t complain on the latter as it was unexpected.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Exhibitionist Hotel and would highly recommend it. The location of the hotel was perfect and made it incredibly convenient for all our activities in the city. It's situated in a central yet quiet area, making it an ideal base for sightseeing and exploration. The room was tastefully decorated, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The interior design of the entire hotel is truly a standout – stylish, modern, and thoughtfully curated. One fun and unique touch we loved was the magnet board in the lift, which allowed guests to play with letters and added a playful element to the experience. It's these small details that really make a stay memorable. The service was friendly and attentive. The staff was always ready to help and quickly responded to any of our requests. Additionally, the hotel and room cleanliness were impeccable. All in all, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely choose the Exhibitionist Hotel again. It's the perfect place for travelers who appreciate both comfort and beautiful design.

Very comfortable beds, very nice staff, good drinks, liked the 2 4 1 cocktails, comfortable chairs to lounge in the bar, warm rooms but not too warm, good smart tv in bedroom. Great location as natural history museum is just over the road, Hyde park is a short walk up the side of the NH museum. We found plenty of cafes and restaurants around the corner. Zetland arms does great pub food. Plenty of small supermarkets and chemist's as well if needed.

Only issue really was the size of the lift, we both struggle with enclosed spaces and when we first got in it was a bit of a shock, you can barely fit 2 people in. (The stairs are fine) The staff will bring your bags up to your room for you though so if you can't use it you don't have to struggle up the stairs with them.
