This is my second time in this Hotel and I recommended to it for a weekend trip to London.If you have limited time, looking for a fair priced downtown hotel , near to shopping and other attractions, The Mayfair could be a good choice. The Mayfair bar is very popular and crowded , lobby is filled with people coming in... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at The May Fair for a special one night treat after going to the ballet. I booked the Mayfair through lastminute.com "secret" hotels so I did get a very good rate and for the price I was very impressed with the size and quality of the room. I'm sure my review is a little biased... More

Thank you for your feedback and I was pleased to hear that you were impressed with the size and quality of the room you occupied. I was, however, so sorry to hear that you were disturbed by outside noise and would ask that if you do return to the Hotel, you ask to be allocated one of our quieter rooms... More

I stayed at the May Fair for two nights in February and received an free upgrade to a Deluxe room, having booked through the hotel website and presumably the hotel was fairly unoccupied due to the poor weather. The Deluxe room while pleasant enough was rather minimalist for my liking. A large room with a king size bed and not... More

I live and work in London and have done all my life. I work in the professional Spa industry and visit many hotels as part of my job. I can honestly say that The Mayfair Hotel is one of my out-and-out favourites. If you are planning on staying in a central London hotel, look no further. The service is exceptional,... More

We stayed at the May Fair hotel for one night booked through Top Secret hotels. The rate wasn't hugely discounted but any discount helps! There were some things that could be improved but the overall experience was very good, so I have rated this a 4. I'll start with the downsides... The room could have done with a bit of... More
