We were excited to be staying in a 4-star hotel in Mayfair, an upscale area within the Central West End of one of the most expensive hotel cities on the planet. This hotel is just a few-minutes walk to Hyde Park, Soho, and some of the most upscale shopping along Bond Street. The hotel's website showed a grand 1920's hotel with nice rooms. We were greeted politely by the doorman, the lobby was pleasant, and the staff courteous (unlike the reviews I'd read). They 'upgraded' us to a larger room since all of the smaller ones had been taken. It was a large size-room, slightly bigger than American standards, but unfortunately it hadn't seen a decorator since 1971. Let's face it: it was drab & fashion-challenged! The tired carpet had worn through in the heavy-trafficked areas. The sad faux velvet wallpaper and ersatz-paneled TV cabinet was absolutely dreadful, to the point of being campy. Since we had gotten a really great price over the internet, we were not too disappointed. Just don't expect--or pay for--beautiful decorating.

This hotel came up as having the lowest price for a 4.5 star in London on various hotel search engines- 140 pounds/night, including VAT. I read the previous reviews about impolite staff, and booked with trepidation. The hotel staff was unfailingly polite, and upgraded us for free. The standard twin room is quite large and has two large double beds. The bathroom was very high quality. My daughter loved the cool water of the small pool after a long hot day of tourism. Note: One side of the hotel faces an extremely loud disco, so be sure to ask for a quiet room on the opposite side.

We loved the Radisson Edwardian May Fair Hotel (originally the MayFair, a historic hotel. It was recently bought by the Radisson chain, and after reading the other reviews, I was a little hesitant about it. We've stayed at the Omni Mark Hopkins, in San Fransisco, the Fairmont Chateau chains in Canada, so we are familiar with top notch hotels and service. I think there will be a little turnover of some of their long time help, unfortuately. They aren't keep their promises and pension to them. But...very well appointed- we had a corner top floor room, so we had 2 bathrooms, one for myself and one for my husband. That worked out very nicely! The room was large for England's standards, with a couch, 2 chairs, a desk (no computer hook-up though), and a king-sized bed. The lighting in the bathrooms were great for putting on make-up, and they had a magnifying mirror to help out too. The weekend help left a lot to be desired, they forgot to call us for our routine call on a Sunday morning, when we REALLY needed it to catch a tour from another hotel. We barely made it in time, and told the staff, but I don't think that will change! Although, they are very friendly, but not trained in the matter of a 4 or 5 star should be. The location to everything was FABULOUS! There's a Green Park tube within a block, and you can walk to some of the best restaurants in the city, within a few short blocks too. Buckingham Palace and the parks are all within a short reach. I would stay there again.

The location of the hotel is excellent. My room (at the seventh and last floor) was rather large: on the contrary the bathroom was small (not tiny) and not very good. The hall is elegant, even if not very large. The breakfast is satisfactory. Perhaps 5 stars are too many, but the overall opinion is undoubtedly good.

I read the reviews on Trip Advisor and was concerned that the hotel would be a big disappointment considering the high price. As it turned out, we were very pleasantly surprised. The lobby is a bit plain, but the rooms were very large, and extremely comfortable. We booked two rooms, and without asking the hotel provided adjoining rooms. The staff were pleasant, but not outgoing. I'd rate the hotel as four stars, not the five stars they advertise. Great location. I'd definitely stay again.

I booked the hotel through lastminute - it was one of their special deals where you don't know which hotel you're staying at when you book. When I found out the name and checked out the reviews on this web site I immediately considered cancelling. I was unable to find anything else so we went ahead but I was very aprehensive. We paid 99 pounds a night so I wasn't expecting much. On arrival, the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and there was a huge bathroom. Everything was clean, the bed (despite others' comments) was fine. I am normally quite fussy about hotels but please don't be put off staying here - what is described as 'old' furniture made me think it would be tatty, but it wasn't - the wardrobes were original 1920s - it had a really quaint feel about it and has been very well maintained - this is a great hotel for someone who is bored of the characterless 'chain' style hotel decor. The bathroom was massive - marble throughout and clean. The mini bar prices were far too high - but you don't need to use it - Sainsbury's is across the road! I can understand that people may have very high expectations of a 5 star hotel and I agree that I've stayed in better 5 star hotels and I would definitely rate it a 4 star - but for price and the location - you cannot complain!

The Mayfair Intercontinental was taken over by Radisson Hotels about a month or so ago.
My husband and I went to London for 5 days this month and stayed at the Mayfair Radisson. The location is fabulous. You are in walking distance to many tourist sites, restaurants, and shops. The hotel may not have been a true top notch 5 star, but it was very nice. Our room was very pleasant, staff was very accommodating, and the business center was easy to access. We would definitely stay there again.
