“Great Hotel, Fantastic Location”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

The hotel really has it going on from the cool lobby, buzzing bar, well appointed rooms and fantastic location. The hotel sits right in the middle of everything, Bond Street to the North, Green park/Buckingham Palace to the south, Piccadilly circus to the east and Mayfair (Harrods, Harvey nicks) to the west. Its no surpirse that Londons most famous hotel,... More

“Total Disaster”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW via mobile

I'll get straight to the point.... I booked 2 Deluxe Rooms over the New Year period and my experience was horrendous. 1. We arrive at the hotel at 5.30pm and there is a mass of disgruntled guests surrounding the reception desk and milling around the lobby. We soon joined them as we discovered that we would have to wait until... More

Thank you for your review which I was extremely concerned to read. The points you have mentioned are totally unrepresentative of the standards of service we strive to achieve here at The May Fair and I am just so sorry to learn of your experience. I will certainly be following up on the points you have mentioned with my Executive... More

“Exceeded every expectation”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

Fantastic property. A short walk through Green Park to the gates of Buckingham. Piccadilly Line from Heathrow to Green Park Station. 1 1/2 block walk on a quiet street from the station to the hotel. Plan one hour for return to Heathrow. Rooms large, exceptionally clean and quiet. Staff attentive and courteous. Great shopping and restaurants in every direction immediate... More

“Nice hotel, but expensive”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

I was booked into a sister hotel and due to overbooking got transferred to the Mayfair, a very welcome surprise given that the Mayfair is billed as a 5 star deluxe property. The reception area in the hotel was beautiful though check in was a little impersonal. The room I was assigned was a standard size and no more luxurious... More

“Pretty good”

stayed for 2 nights during our company's conference. check-in was swift. I forgot to mention I have a Club Carlson Gold card, and the system doesn't seem to "recognize" their loyalty card members. You can't blame them for that, but when I asked for a late check-out after giving my Club Carlson number, I got one hour extra. the hotel... More

“Amazing”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

First time visiting the hotel and was extremely happy with the overall experience. Upon arriving, there a was a little wait to check in as there was a large group in front, however the staff apologized for the delay. While checking in, it was a nice touch to get upgraded to a suite. Wasn't expecting that, so was pleasantly surprised.... More

“Felt like royalty after a few early hitches”

Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW

Wow, probably one of the most incredible hotel stays I can remember. Sadly it didn't start well as I had booked via an online discount website and it turned out the price I had paid did not allow me to stay in a room which permitted smoking so they asked for a £50 premium to be paid. Not overly happy... More

“Lovely! But far from perfect.”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

Just had a really nice weekend in this beautiful hotel for my daughter's 18th birthday. It's very clean, swish and swanky. I'm not sure why it is a 5* hotel when it doesn't have a pool? That would have been the icing on the cake but alas no. We had a twin room which unusually had single beds....... I've always... More

“Great service but room not quite to expectations!”

My wife and I treated ourselves to a night in London and plumped for the May Fair having read some good reviews on Trip Advisor. We paid a little more than intended for a larger room and made the journey full of expectation. Upon arrival the staff on reception couldn't have been more helpful, our room was not immediately available... More
