Next morning went down for breakfast. Breakfast was expensive for what it was and service wa hopeless. £29 for a basic English breakfast - two eggs, one rasher of bacon,... 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

This was our second stay at the Athenaeum, the last being in November 2012. This time we stayed in a Standard Double as we were in London for just one night before heading off to Paris. As some previous reviewers have commented, the standard rooms are very compact by comparison to other hotels at this price point and the lack... More
