We booked this hotel as a 'Top Secret' hotel on lastminute.com however we were aware of which hotel before we booked, so we knew we got it for a good price. Having read previous reviews we were not sure what to expect but have to say the hotel was excellent. The lobby area is a bit underwhelming but the check... More

Really disappointed by the hotel and the room. Small reception and very small room considering the room rate is in excess of £300 a night. There are much better hotels for that money. Service has been good and room is clean but room is small, the double beds is tiny and bathroom has been squeezed in. Lots of mirrors used... More

A pleasant looking hotel from the outside and the interior is quiet impressive. the standard room a little disappointing considering the 5 star price tag, that said it was spotlessly clean and a very good mini bar with complimentary snacks and drinks. A nice touch was the bedside book that told the history of the hotel and one of its... More

We had the occasion to stay both in the apartments (when we travel with kids) and at the hotel and we always had very pleasant stay. This... More

During my recent visit to London, I went to the Spa at The Athenaeum. For a 5 star hotel I had gone there with high expectations, but have to say was very disappointed! The spa is located in the basement and was very cramped. The changing room had only one shower and hardly any space to move around. Being a... More

All the staff that we came across really were excellent and a credit to the hotel. The room itself (a standard double) was never going to be huge, especially in central London. It was however, spotlessly clean and comfortable, and equipped with the little touches and extras that make all the difference. I would have marked it down on value... More

Have just returned from a two night weekend break to the Athenaeum hotel. We booked through last minute, secret hotel and were pleased with the hotel we were given due to its location on Piccadilly fairly close to Green Park tube station. We had booked three rooms and when we arrived asked whether we could upgrade our room as it... More

Hotel was in a great location, opposite Green Park and just down the road from Piccadilly Circus. Jim the doorman was brilliant, very friendly and welcomed you home. The restaurant was open from 6.30pm (i think) but we asked if there was any chance we could have a meal at 5pm and they said it wouldn't be a problem, we... More

We had a wonderful stay. The room was lovely, all the staff were kind and helpful and the breakfast was fantastic. It's a great location. The rooms are very quiet and so many lovely little touches. It was our anniversary and we were given a lovely chocolate desert on the house and a little anniversary card.
