The hype
Travelers love the spacious, modern rooms and proximity to the Tube/Westfield, but service can be inconsistent.
Dao By Dorsett West London
$160-280 / đêm
Đặt phòng nếu You want the space of an Airbnb with the safety net of a hotel front desk, right next to Westfield London.
Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- Apartment-style layouts with kitchenettes
- Excellent soundproofing despite the busy location
- Pet-friendly policy that actually welcomes dogs
Tóm tắt nhanh: It's a glorified serviced apartment that makes you do your own dishes to avoid a fee, but the location and space make it worth the hassle.
Được đánh giá bởi @livitiffany: I checked into Dao by Dorsett for a solo reset and it was exactly what I needed. The kitchenette was perfect for a cozy night in with champagne, and waking up to that London skyline view made my morning coffee taste even better.

5 điều cần biết trước khi bạn đi
💡The 'Self-Clean' Ultimatum: You are essentially a maid on your last day unless you want to pay £20.
💡The Lobby Confusion: There are two reception desks (Hotel vs. Dao) and delivery drivers often get lost between them.
💡The Missing Dishwasher: Not every 'fully equipped' kitchen actually has a dishwasher—check the fine print.
💡The Siren Lottery: You are on a major London artery; soundproofing is good, but physics is physics.
💡The 'Mini House' Duplex: The 2-bedroom duplex is shockingly big for London, spanning two floors with three toilets.
