"Clean rooms; good staff; hard beds"
We stayed here for two nights. The service was super: my only problem was that the bed was *very* hard and that we had a few problems with the light switches, which never worked quite the way one would have expected. Everything was very clean, and overall I feel that it is good value for money. I would like to add that we stayed there in winter, and the heating was more than adequate.

"Beautiful hotel, Great Service!"
From the time we arrived by taxi, greeted by the doorman with a smile, and had our bags taken for us, we were treated like royalty. We stayed here for a Romantic weekend through Last minute's secret hotels and got a very good rate. Once we checked in, the receptionist accompanied us to our room and showed us all the amenities available. A very nice touch. The room was plenty big enough with everything you could need. Lots of mirrors make it look spacious, the bed was very comfortable, the shower was very powerful, and we had great views from the top floor of london and green park. The gym and spa downstairs is very nicely done, with dressing gowns and towels provided. We did not have breakfast here, but went around to shepherds market where there was a good choice of cafes. The bar is very cosy and intimate, which we loved, the service very attentive and friendly. We had afternoon tea in the garden room, which is beautifully done out with comfy sofas, and the selection of sandwiches and cakes were delicious. It is certainly one of the friendliest hotels I have stayed at, everyone is smiling and want to ensure you have everything you need. When my wife requested foam pillows instead of the feather ones provided at midnight, they were delivered in 5 minutes. Nothing here is too much trouble, and I would certainly recommend it for a romantic getaway. We had a fabulous meal at Galvin At Windows at the top of the Hilton, just a few minutes walk around the corner, which I would highly recommend also

"Nice hotel, great rates"
This hotel is well located, on Piccadilly, and a few minutes walk from either Piccadilly Circus, Buckingham Palace (through Green Park) or Hyde Park corner. It is surrounded by other four and five star hotels, and has plenty of other eating and drinking establishments near by. The hotel itself is a nice, well furnished, well decorated building in the style that you would expect from such an establishment. The staff at the hotel were helpful and friendly throughout, and pleasant to deal with. I overheard some of the staff giving tourist advice to other guests, that was delivered both accurately and with good humour. Our room was relatively large and well equipped, and the bed was remarkably comfortable. One of the best things about the hotel was the price. It seemed to be the cheapest premium hotel in the area, which made what was already a pleasant stay even better. I would certainly recommend this establishment.

"Very nice!"
Stayed at the Athenaeum for only one night because of business meetings. When arriving late everything went smooth, got my shirts ironed in 20 minutes. Everything was a smooth and nothing seemed to be a problem. The service was excellent, rooms were clean and nice despite the fact I was given a room with a view over the back yard. I think it was a good atmosphere in the lobby and the whisky room as well as at breakfast, however the breakfast buffe could have been better.

"Nice Hotel, Good location"
The hotel is well located at the one end of piccadilly road. Within easy walking distance of piccadilly circus, oxford st./regent street shopping, theatre district, across the park from Buckingham palace and a short taxi ride to knightbridge & Harrods. The hotel is relatively small but very nice and on the main road. we booked on Londontown.com., just my wife and myself. It was expensive but it is all relative and given the location and the hotel standard, I was happy. We had a standard double room. The room was not particularly big (probably true of most of the hotels in London anyway) but was still reasonable sized, good beds and the bathroom was very nice with bath and strong shower..and most importantly very clean and well kept. otel and the visit. Really enjoyed the hThe staff are very couteous and helpful and friendly. We did not eat in the hotel. Try the local restaurants around the corner in 'Shepards Market'..some very nice restaurants and breakfast available. I would also recommend the Wolsley restaurant down the road beside the Ritz hotel for breakfast and lunch..over priced but worth a visit.

"Pleasantly surprised"
Booked a standard room for one night through Lastminute.com for £109 (without breakfast). Upon check-in we were offered an upgraded room at an additional cost but chose not to as our standard room was very pleasant and the facilities sufficient for our short stay. Having previously lived in London for years, we didn't care that we did not have a view. The room was modern in decor, the bathroom clean and facilities good although the space was rather small. We enjoyed drinks in the bar during the afternoon and late evening. Pricey as expected. All staff we encountered were very pleasant and professional. Our only gripes would be a lengthy check-in (perhaps because of booking through Lastminute.com), our double bed made from two singles was uncomfortable in the middle and the unpleasant strong lemon smell on our fourth floor. The location is fantastic. This hotel warrants a good 4 star. It is certainly not a 5 star. We would definitely return.

"Excellent"
I've stayed at the Athenaeum many times and find the staff to be amoung the most professional I have experienced. the apartments are by far my first choice but if I'm staying just one night the executive room is fine. The bathrooms arn't the largest in London but on par and personally I rate service and decor above the size of a bathroom. Because I visit 3-4 times a year I've found that I now tend to get an upgrade and recently they remembered my birthday. It's uncommon for a lot of places I stay (5 star) to remember and actually use the information you give then. So well done Athenaeum. The ground floor area is now quite a transformation from last last year and the attention to details on the desiogn is truiely amazing. I understand the bedrooms are being refurbished this year which will be a good thing but they are actually ok at the moment. Keep it up Athenaeum there are many large chain hotels in your area that could learn a thing or two from your hotel.

"Wonderful experience"
Just returned from London and the second time that we stayed at The Athenaeum and, once again, we were very pleased. Location is wonderful, rooms are comfortable and all of the staff is more than willing to help with any request or need. We accidently left some papers in the lounge one evening and they were delivered to our room before we noticed that they were missing.
