Booked here by chance and from the moment of entering the hotel to check-in to when we checked-out, the staff were friendly, professional and very intent on meeting the very best of service levels. The restaurant/bar offered the highest of standards, service and quality. A very good variety of items on offer for breakfast to meet virtually all tastes. We... More

Had read the reviews on the good sized rooms & floor to ceiling windows so was rather disappointed to be shown to a rather small room with high windows that you had to move the obstructing furniture to look out of. Staff were exceptionally friendly & had arranged a cake to be left in our room as it was our... More

We recently organised a long weekend in London with a few nights in a central hotel and then a couple of nights in an apartment with friends. Looking forward to a few nights of central London luxury we were really disappointed. On arrival our check-in was polite and yet entirely impersonal with the staff talking amongst each other rather than... More

The Athenaeum is in a fantastic location, the rooms are large for London and wonderfully appointed. Staying here is not cheap but you understand whilst you are there why you have paid the extra. The bed was huge and soooo comfortable. The service was terrific, the team really couldn't do enough to help. The restaurant was also very good. The... More

This was my second stay at the Athenaeum in just a few months. I returned because the hotel has a top notch staff, an excellent location, and Great Food. And Good Food in London is not that easy to find. The breakfast is wonderful and the bar is cozy and comfortable. The fitness center is good and just cross the... More

We stayed at one of the gorgeous suites in the Townhouses belonging to the Athenaeum - spacious, airy and really beautifully designed. If you stay, try and get one of the apartments - so well equipped, and so centrally located opposite green park. The choice at breakfast was excellent; lovely fresh fruits and yoghurts, continental choices, lovely pastries and little... More

Recently accompanied my husband on a trip to London. He stays at this hotel at least once a month and loves it. Not only for the physical structure but more so for the warm service he experiences here. When we checked in we were welcomed and escorted to our room. The room was good sized, extremely clean and had everything... More

Stayed one night in room overlooking Green Park. I think this must have been an upgrade as the booking didn't suggest that we would receive anything other than standard? Lovely room although would replace the chairs in the window, bizarre shape obliterating the super view. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was superb, we could have spent the... More
