We spent Easter 2006 at the Holiday Inn Mayfair, having stayed there more than ten years ago. We had happy memories of the quality of the hotel on our first stay, and thankfully were not disappointed by our return visit. The central location of the hotel is without question, and we were delighted to be able to leave a theatre in Victoria at 10.30pm and be back in our hotel room by 10.50pm, thanks to the proximity of Green Park Tube Station! We had a pre-theatre meal there one evening, and it was delicious. Breakfast was plentiful (although the toaster was rather eccentric - you either got hot bread or burned toast!), and throughout, the staff were helpful and friendly.

On the official website, they claim that is where you get the cheapest rates. We booked well in advance, and then I accidentally found a slighter better rate through a hotel site that sends me emails. I emailed the hotel and they immediately honoured the cheaper rate - I was afraid this might result in some confusion when we got there, but no, it was all in place and never needed to be mentioned. Our room was spacious with a large bed, and was serviced to a high standard daily.

We certainly hope to return there, and with any luck won't have to wait another 10 years!

Lots of room for a London Hotel. Stayed 6 nights 13th to the 18th of April. The internet is 15pounds per 24 hour period, and there are no other alternatives that my wifi could pick up. Nice area close to everything. Sainesbury grocers on same block, Tesco 2 blocks away open until 11pm. GreenPark underground and BigBus tour within a minutes walk of Hotel. If you have a limited amount of time the bus tour is a real plus, try to get the one with the live narrator, fun. Room service is available till 11pm, but not great and very expensive. Wait staff was good but the clerk who initialy checked me in tried to put me in a smoking twin room. I had a print out, and she then gave me the nonsmoking family room I had asked for. I don't think I will be staying here again only because now that I know the area I have found a B&B in Knghtsbridge for half the money twice the room and a kitchenette to boot. Ask the locals where to eat, and try all the pubs.

Great location just accross the street from Green Park tube and a few minutes walk from Buckingham Palace. The area in general felt safe for London. Hotel staff were friendly and cleanliness was good. Did not take breakfast at £16 per head ! but loads of cafes close by did a much better deal. We took our two young daughters for a 3 daysightseeing trip a would certainly use this hotel again

Our extended family (6 adults) stayed at the Holiday Inn - Mayfair for a week in late March and were all very pleased with the experience. The staff at the front desk, dining room and especially the concierge desk were all very pleasant and helpful. Each of our rooms had two double beds which are not easy to find in many London hotels. That feature plus the excellent location were why we originally chose this hotel. With the Green Park station right across the street and within easy walking distance to Buckingham Palace and Picadilly Circus, the location couldn't be much better. The dining room is somewhat small and expensive so we didn't eat many meals there. We definitely will stay here again when we return to London.
