Don't bother - pay the extra and go to the Ritz. No atmosphere - room was like an over furnished corridor. Not very busy , so no need for four different waiters.All polite but lacking any personality. Selection of sandwiches - fresh but bland. Scones and crumpets ok. Cakes - good selection but nothing madly excitingal. Tea - numerous blends... More

I had such high expectation for the afternoon tea at this hotel to the fact that it has won this year's tea guild award. I have to say that the tea did not disappoint, but the waitress (who had blond hair with black rimmed glasses) served the tea right after she had added hot water into the pot! Needless to... More

Stayed in a suite which had its own entrance. The suite was spacious and well equipped. This was a home from home with the added benefit of hotel service. Would recommend this hotel for its location, the rooms and the efficient staff.

We booked to stay here via Lastminue.com as a mystry hotel, but were pleased witht he price and the hotel when we found out where it was. We were given a room up the road in house 3, rather than in the hotel, not sure if this was due to the price we paidd for it. But it would have... More

Superb boutique hotel in the heart of Mayfair, near some of the best restaurants in London and handy for Harvey Nics etc. Stayed in a quiet room looking over Down Street at the side of the hotel. Room was spotless, spacious and beautifully decorated - furnishings looked new. Lemonade at check-in was a delight after the drive up. Staff were... More

To celebrate our wedding anniversary we took advantage of the hotels ‘spring suites’ offer and booked into a Green Park Suite for 2 nights. Upon arrival at the hotel we discovered that there would be a slight delay of 20 minutes before our suite was ready so we were offered complimentary drinks in the lounge bar whilst we waited. The...

From the moment we sat back in the high backed chairs and deep cushions I knew we were going to enjoy our Afternoon tea experience. It was a lovely quiet oasis away from the noise and bustle of busy Piccadilly. The staff were wonderful and extremely friendly and looked after us really well. There were two servings of sandwiches, abundant... More

Lovely boutique hotel, very small rooms. would stay here again but hopefully in a room with a larger bed, the small Queen was a bit small for my 6'4 husband and myself 5'8. Great restaurants within walking distance at Shepards Market.

We were astounded by our stay in the Athenaeum Hotel last night. I had researched hotels in London thoroughly before deciding upon this hotel to celebrate both my partner's birthday and my 5 month old son's first trip away. I expected it to be very good but there was no preparing for just how good a place can be. This... More

Gem of a hotel- intimate atmosphere in view of the surprisingly large number of rooms- excellent doorman and concierge- delightful relaxing bar- well designed bed room and gorgeous bathroom- attention to detail eg toiletries, particularly appreciated. Great position. Punchy price for breakfast at £27 each- didn't take.
