Top Barbican Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

8/10 Good

"Nice location, walk to lots of tourist attractions"

Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"this hotel has an excellent location, only about two blocks from the High St., Kensington tube station with plenty of restaurants and shopping within a short walk. It is also very close to Hyde Park and Kensington Palace. The only thing I would recommend is if the hotel add more outlets since everyone needs to charge their phones and tablets. I would recommend a multi outlet on the nightstand that separates the two beds. Other than that, I would highly recommend this hotel."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

6/10 Okay

"Room and bed was clean. Pillows were flat and they would not provide extras. Hotel had no windows and areas where the air conditioning didn’t work were hot and suffocating. We moved rooms to an area that was cooler and air conditioning worked better. Great location. Nice lobby. Helpful staff. But if you have any level of claustrophobia this is not the place for you."

President Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A perfect location, near St Pancras and access to Eurostar etc. lots of public transport options. Very walkable area, really lovely. Restaurants, parks, museums nearby, including a good spot for breakfast right on the corner. Room was very nice, and enough room to unpack and move around. I'd stay here again. Love the whole area. Staff very pleasant."

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

8/10 Good

"This is a budget priced hotel just steps from Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Rd tube station. Check in was 3pm but my daughter and I arrived round 1pm and for £20 were able to avail of early check in and get into our room. Check in was fast and automated with a staff member on hand who printed our key cards for us. Room was on the small side but perfect for what we needed as we were really only in it to sleep in it. Basic but clean, great dressing table/mirror area, TV, hairdryer and safe. The room had good AC which was great as it was very warm during our visit. Bathroom again was small but clean and perfectly adequate for our needs. Our only niggle was how long to get and to use the lifts, they are very busy and often stop at nearly every floor, we were on floor 10 so if you are pressed for time allow an extra 10 mins to get one and get down to reception. Any staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. All in all for the price this is a great, centrally located, excellent option for a basic budget stay in London, however if you want extras like toiletries and tea/coffee making facilities then other hotels which will cost more are available and may be more suitable for you. We were very happy with our stay and will use STG again."

Royal National Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Clean. Beds comfortable. Large room. However; very hard to sleep in the non-air conditioned hot box. Window tilted in about 6” without a screen making me nervous a bird or insects would make it in my room. Noise from the street was unbearable due to the open window. Could not close the drapes or you would not get fresh air so the lights from the building across flooded the room all night and the sun streamed in the room in the morning. Had to leave the drapes open during the day so the air could flow but the sun heated up the room. No win situation. Lobby was large and open but had not one piece of furniture to gather or wait for other members of our party. Weird! Breakfast on site was typical buffet. It felt like a youth hostel masquerading as a hotel."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Barbican?

The Barbican Centre and its surrounding residential areas are the best places to stay when visiting Barbican.

The Barbican Estate is a large, iconic Brutalist complex known for its distinctive architecture, tranquil gardens, and water features. It's home to the Barbican Centre, a major arts venue featuring concert halls, theatres, cinemas, and art galleries. The area is exceptionally well-connected by public transport, with several Underground stations nearby, making it easy to reach other parts of London.

For culture enthusiasts, staying within the Barbican Estate or directly adjacent offers unparalleled convenience. You're literally steps away from world-class performances, exhibitions, and films. Many of the flats within the estate are available for short-term lets and provide a unique opportunity to experience this architectural marvel firsthand, often with access to private residents' gardens.

Couples looking for a sophisticated and peaceful base will appreciate the area's relaxed atmosphere, especially in the evenings when the Barbican Centre lights up. There are numerous high-quality restaurants and bars within and around the complex, great for a pre-theatre dinner or a quiet drink.
