Transparent pricing is the rarest thing in London accommodation. Consider this your antidote.
Most accommodation websites bury the real numbers. They lead with the lowest possible rate, hide the service fees, and only reveal the full picture at checkout. This blog does the opposite with real prices, honest comparisons, and the full breakdown of what you're actually getting for your money when you book a D'Montrio serviced apartment in London in 2026.
Because the traveller who is asking this question has already made their decision. They want a serviced apartment. They want to know if they can afford it and whether it's worth it compared to the alternatives.
The answer, once all the numbers are on the table, is almost always yes. Here's why.
Before D'Montrio's prices mean anything, the comparison needs a baseline.
PwC forecasts London's average hotel daily rate at £193.50 for 2026, with quarterly ranges from £159.60 in Q1 to £219.60 in Q3 during peak summer season. That's the market average across all London hotels which means a mid-range Zone 1 hotel room in peak season is regularly exceeding £200 per night.
Mid-range hotels charge £180–£280 per night for standard rooms in Zone 1–2 locations. For that price, you receive: one room, one bathroom, a desk, a bed, and a kettle. No kitchen. No living room. No laundry. Daily housekeeping which sounds appealing until you're paying £220 a night for a room you could fit inside a D'Montrio living area.
Luxury hotels start at £200 and can exceed £600 per night in prime locations you're paying for service, location, and experience including turn-down service, concierge, fine dining, and spa facilities. For guests who specifically want those amenities, that's a legitimate choice. For everyone else, it's a premium being paid for services that most visitors rarely use.
The hidden cost that never appears in hotel comparisons: breakfast. Premier Inn and Travelodge rarely include breakfast you pay £8–£15 extra per person. Four-star hotels include it more often, but at that price point it's baked into a nightly rate that already assumes you want it.
Over a seven-night stay for two people, hotel breakfasts at £15–£25 per person per day add £210–£350 to a bill that was already substantial before the first morning.
Here are D'Montrio's starting prices across all eight properties, every one of them in Zone 1 London. Prices start from the rates below, with final pricing varying by dates, apartment type, length of stay, and seasonal availability.
From £229 per night
The most historically positioned D'Montrio address. Five minutes on foot from the Houses of Parliament, ten from Trafalgar Square, fifteen from Buckingham Palace. The Pride in London parade route runs directly through the neighbourhood every summer.
For context: a mid-range Zone 1 hotel within equivalent walking distance of these landmarks in peak season regularly costs £220–£280 per night for a single room. From £229, D'Montrio Westminster delivers a full apartment at a price that meets or beats the hotel room comparison while providing incomparably more space.
Best for: First-time visitors, history and culture-focused trips, Pride in London, couples and families wanting the iconic London experience.
From £179 per night
London's best-positioned neighbourhood and D'Montrio's most competitively priced Zone 1 property. Eight minutes from the British Museum. Seven minutes from Oxford Street and Soho. Four tube stations on three different lines within walking distance.
From £179, this represents exceptional value against the Zone 1 hotel market. A comparable hotel room in Fitzrovia's immediate area averages £180–£230 per night just for a fraction of the space, no kitchen, and no laundry.
Best for: First-timers, digital nomads, business travellers, couples, anyone who wants the whole of central London on their doorstep at the most accessible D'Montrio price point.
From £129 per night
D'Montrio's most affordable starting price in one of London's most beautiful and internationally recognised neighbourhoods. Portobello Road Market is eight minutes on foot. Holland Park is fifteen. Hyde Park is ten.
At £129 per night, this is the entry point into the D'Montrio portfolio and it significantly undercuts Zone 1 hotel pricing while delivering apartment space, a full kitchen, and laundry in a neighbourhood that most London visitors specifically want to experience.
Best for: West London explorers, market lovers, families, first-timers wanting an elegant residential neighbourhood, visitors attending Notting Hill Carnival.
From £129 per night
Alongside Notting Hill, D'Montrio's most accessible price point in a neighbourhood where three world-class museums (Natural History Museum, V&A, Science Museum) are three minutes on foot from the front door. Hyde Park is eight minutes. Harrods is twelve.
For families especially, the South Kensington value proposition is extraordinary: a fully equipped apartment with kitchen and laundry, starting from £129, within walking distance of three free world-class museums and one of London's great parks. A comparable Zone 1 hotel family room in this area regularly costs £250–£350 per night.
Best for: Families, museum enthusiasts, culture-focused trips, Harrods shoppers, guests wanting the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea without the Knightsbridge price tag.
From £180 per night
One of D'Montrio's most elegantly positioned properties. Regent's Park is eight minutes on foot. Marylebone Village with Daunt Books, independent restaurants, and one of London's finest independent high streets is five minutes. Oxford Street is twelve.
From £180, Baker Street sits at a mid-tier price point for the portfolio and delivers a neighbourhood that most London visitors discover on their third or fourth visit and then immediately wish they'd found sooner.
Best for: Returning visitors, park lovers, business travellers, remote workers, guests wanting quiet luxury rather than tourist-facing central London.
From £250 per night
D'Montrio's premium City address. The Elizabeth line at Liverpool Street connects directly to Heathrow in 40 minutes and Paddington in under ten. Spitalfields Market is eight minutes on foot. The Tower of London is fifteen. The Barbican is eleven.
At £250 per night, Liverpool Street reflects both its extraordinary transport position and its proximity to London's financial district where corporate serviced apartment rates regularly exceed £300–£400 per night for equivalent quality. For business travellers especially, this price point represents significant value against the corporate accommodation market.
Best for: Business travellers, City workers, bleisure trips, East London explorers, guests arriving from or departing to Heathrow.
From £250 per night
D'Montrio's newest established address and the one that wins the walkability matrix. St Paul's Cathedral is ten minutes on foot. The Barbican is eight. Smithfield Market is five. The incoming London Museum opens in November 2026, a five-minute walk from the front door.
At £250 per night, Farringdon sits at D'Montrio's premium tier and delivers a neighbourhood whose creative, culinary, and architectural offer is among the richest in London. Five transport lines at Farringdon station make the whole city accessible in minutes.
Best for: Food lovers, design and architecture enthusiasts, business travellers, returning visitors who want to experience a genuinely different London, guests wanting to be first to explore the new London Museum quarter.
Pricing available at our official website.
D'Montrio's newest property, at SW7 4DG in the heart of Kensington, one of London's most prestigious postcodes. Located in the heart of Kensington, just a short walk from Hyde Park, with Kensington High Street and London's famous museums all just a short walk away.
Just down the road from Gloucester Road tube station with District, Circle, and Piccadilly lines which is a 15-minute walk to Harrods. The Natural History Museum, V&A, and Science Museum are all within walking distance. South Kensington station is equally close.
This is one of London's most desirable residential addresses which is leafy, quiet, Victorian in character, and surrounded by the kind of boutiques, restaurants, and garden squares that justify the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea's reputation entirely.
As our newest launch, pricing is available directly on our website reflecting the apartment type, dates, and availability specific to your stay.
Best for: Guests wanting South Kensington's museum and park access in a quieter, more residential setting. Families, luxury leisure travellers, long-stay guests, and anyone wanting Kensington at its most genuine.

This is where a D'Montrio stay genuinely separates from both hotels and unmanaged Airbnbs. Here's exactly what every booking includes:
The apartment itself: Fully furnished. Depending on the category a fully equipped kitchen with everything needed to cook proper meals. Washing machine. High-speed WiFi. Entertainment system. Separate living areas. The space to actually inhabit the apartment rather than simply sleep in it. (Please note: specific amenities may vary based on room category - full details available at the time of booking.)
Housekeeping: Complimentary weekly housekeeping for all stays of 7 nights or more.(less). Additional housekeeping available at extra charge. A professional, consistent service that keeps the apartment genuinely clean across a longer stay.
Support: We also provide after-hours contact who are available for queries, genuine emergencies, fire alarms, urgent lock issues. Additional self check-in with clear instructions provided before arrival.
Check-in / Check-out: Standard check-in from 2pm. Check-out by 11am. Early check-in and late check-out subject to availability and may incur an additional charge.
Booking flexibility: Both refundable and non-refundable rate options available choose the rate that suits your plans. Specific terms in your booking confirmation.
Here's the calculation that most accommodation guides never show you, the total cost of a trip, not just the nightly rate.
Zone 1 mid-range hotel, 7 nights, 2 people:
D'Montrio Fitzrovia apartment, 7 nights, 2 people:
Saving: £476. For significantly more space, a full kitchen, and a laundry.
That saving widens further during peak summer season, when Zone 1 hotel rates regularly exceed £250–£280 per night and D'Montrio's pricing remains anchored to its starting rates where availability allows.
