“ghastly food......shameless cooking”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011

person found this review helpful

I experienced the worst food in a London club ever, when taken to Home House for dinner this week by a corporate member. My asparagus was hard and far too cold. My lamb was horribly greasy. There was no way I would risk a pudding. I thought the loos were quite good though.

It seemed to me that lingering about in the various reception rooms were a lot of London's office workers who seem to think, by the way passing people are checked out, that this is the place to meet their future partners. Apart from a lively bar in the garden and a private party, the entire place reminded me of a mausoleum. The building is as grim as the food. I was offered the opportunity to become a member. I politely declined.

“Lovely building, excellent staff & food, some incongruous furnishing.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2010

A superb building, the cental staircase an achitectural gem. The staff are very attentive and the food excellent. Some furnishings,the transparent plasic 'Regency' style dining chairs and the three TV screens in the bar, were not to my own taste but this Club presumably attracts a membership who may not be comfortable in a more traditional London Club. With this niche clientel in mind I rate it 4/5.

“Talk about Comfort!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This exclusive hotel room was a gift for our anniversary. We were lavished in comfort and style. Its an old mansion converted into about 16 unique rooms overlooking Portman Square. Each room decorated with a different style. Ours was the Lady Susan Thorpe's room. Excellent down bedding, VERY large bathroom. The Bison Bar is what you want in your own home. Careful, they smoke in there too! This is the only place the house smelled of smoke though. We didn't use the spa/gym or eat here, but it was a lovely stay and if I could afford it, I'd stay there every time! The little Kingly alligator slippers will cost you about $26 US if you take them home!

Stayed March 2007, travelled as a couple

“Clubbie”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2009

Old fashioned club atmosphere with all the advantages and disadvantages that go with that. Some might call it stodgy or snobby but most would call it elegant. Everything is old but the rooms are well decked out. Food is fair and drinks expensive but the atmosphere and location are excellent. Lots of door in corridors a bit strange but you definately feel like you are in London!
