Flemings Hotel Mayfair

Great service, but the hotel is old and in need of a face lift. The bathroom has no place to plug in a blow dryer.

I stayed here last May while visiting London. This hotel was nice and looks exquisite both inside and out. I knocked it down to three stars rather than four just due to a few oddities that I encountered.
Our room was actually in an attached building, several doors down from the main hotel where you’ll find the reception desk and the usual hotel entryway findings. The room was great, with windows looking out onto the street, little closets, and plenty of room. The bathroom was beautiful, but the half-​door contraption enclosing the shower made for a good spray on anything left out.
Breakfast was not complimentary, and while it was quite delicious, it was also extremely expensive. The bar area was not very accessible as it was in the basement through the dining area where breakfast was served. I was entertained by the strange décor of the bar area and it’s disco feel, but the drinks left something to be desired.
There was also an issue with the wifi, as I had to keep signing into it everytime I opened up my device. Also, it was included in our package and was to be complimentary, but ended up as a very expensive charge on our bill. The not-​too-​attentive front desk employees eventually took it off the bill.
I would stay again, despite the quirky layout, as the rooms are very nice and the location was great. However, I would know on a return visit to avoid the overpriced breakfast and to provide my own wifi.

This is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. The rooms are so small and cramped. The showers are horrible. Even when switched to another room it was still unsatisfactory. One morning the fire alarm scared the life out of me at 5am. I recommend you stay somewhere else.

My family is staying in one of the apartments for our vacation from the states. The apartment itself is very nice it has a living area, two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one bathroom with just a toilet and sink. There is a little kitchen with a refrigerator and dishwasher.
PROS:
— Quiet, tucked in an alley way away from Main Street traffic.
— Cute little alley filled with restaurants around the corner.
— Restaurant in the building – we have never eaten there but my sister had a hamburger and fries from there and said it was very good.
— Beds are very comfortable.
— Shampoo and conditioner provided.
— Central location, easy to get everywhere.
CONS:
— HORRIBLE wifi. If you need to be connected to the Internet for work or school just abandon ship right now. The staff has attempted to be helpful but their entire system is awful and apparently doesn’t work well with Apple products (i.e. iPhones and Mac computers) which the majority of people use. It’s hard to believe that in the 21^st century a hotel has as horrible wifi as this one. And even when you do get connected, it cuts out or is so slow it’s not worth using anyway.
— Small windows, kind of dark. They do try to make up for it with bright lights on the inside but it’s not the same as natural lighting. There are no fantastic views out your windows.
— Makeup wearing women, beware. The lighting in the bathroom is such that it washes out your face and you can’t see the makeup you’re applying and you run the risk of caking too much on. Clearly no woman had a say in the designing of it. I have had to take the small makeup mirror into the living space where there are windows to do my makeup in the natural lighting.

My partner and I spent one night at Flemings Hotel Mayfair while we were transiting through London, and overall, I felt that it was a quaint hotel that was different than all the boring corporate hotels that abound in London. We booked this hotel through the app Hotels Tonight, and were able to get the room for about half off. It was a Sunday night, and they said that they were rather full, so they did not upgrade us.
The location is actually very nice, right on Green Park near Buckingham Palace. We mainly stayed at this hotel because it was Chinese New Year that night and we want to be within walking distance of Soho and the Chinatown. The tube station is only two blocks away, so it is very convenient to other sites in London. Also, being in Mayfair for the price we paid was a steal.
The room itself was small, but not minuscule. That’s an important distinction to make when discussing London hotels, because I did not felt cramped. Now, I will say that the view from the window was nonexistent and looked out onto a boiler. (I question why they would even have a window in the first place, but I guess not having a window would make you feel like you’re on inside stateroom of a cruise.) The bathroom was nice and large, and the shower was powerful. After our long trip, we had a lot of luggage, so the room felt that small, but the room was perfectly adequate for two people staying for a night.
Staff was friendly throughout, and check-​in was a breeze. They helped us with our bags, and because we were running late to the airport, we were able to send an Über to the front door and the valet loaded our bags by the time we arrived from lunch to drive off. Very nice.
Unfortunately, because we were staying just for the night, we were not able to take advantage of their breakfast or eating at the restaurant or bar. It looked intimate and trendy, we just didn’t have the time.
Overall, Flemings Hotel Mayfair is not a bad place to stay for a night or two. For the money we paid and the location, I felt it was very good and a value. I enjoyed our stay.

While the street didn’t appear to be very busy, it was loud and the windows and walls were thin. Noise from outside was inescapable while at the hotel. The tea cups and serving trays in the room didn’t look like they had been washed in weeks. While some of the staff was kind, many of the front desk staff was rude and unhelpful. I had a week long stay booked and I left after the second day to find a better hotel.
There is an ok gym that opens at 6am, but there is no spa and the food available for dinning in room isn’t very good.

We stayed in one of the hotel’s suites, which are very much like an apartment with two floors. Everything is exquisite. From the décor to the attention to detail the Flemings does an immaculate job. The hotel staff is friendly and pleasant.
It took a little while to get our room ready but they made up for it with a fabulous basket of food an drinks waiting in our room. The breakfast buffet every morning is fantastic with fresh fruit and anything else one could ask for. All around a great experience, excellent hotel.

Afternoon tea
I had afternoon tea.
The people who are serving didn’t know about afternoon tea service, tea itself and the table wear wasn’t clean.
The servant served tea without brewing.
The chair I sat wasn’t comfortable. Perhaps they want to add cushions?
The only one thing I appreciated was macaron, which was unusual. It wasn’t dry yet so creamy but delicately crispy.

Coming back from Holland, I did a 3 day drop at this hotel. I liked the way I was greeted by staff. The interior design is very, very traditional English style. Patterns upon bright patterns… busier than Piccadilly during the Olympics. Also, there is a very cool room for afternoon tea or in my case afternoon martinis. Either is good, really.
What is not good is the bed size. Somehow I got hooked up with a room with two beds that were barely big enough for a teenager must less a full grown man. Tokyo (a place that doesn’t always cater to my 6’3 frame) has provided me with bigger beds. That made the time with my lady a bit… difficult.
What’s worst is that the elevator went out on Friday and STAYYYYYYED out for my entire visit. Because it was the weekend, they could not get someone in to fix it. Bloody hell, mate!!!

Express lunch menu is a superb deal for the area! I challenge anyone to find a restaurant in Mayfair serving food of a similar quality for the same price. I’ve come back here several times and the food has always been excellent. Don’t be put off by the chap minding the entrance door with the top hat!

This hidden beauty sits on Half Moon Street which is right by Green Park, The Ritz and Picadilly.
Walking into this boutique Georgian hotel, you are nicely welcomed by the staff. The staff as a whole were very attentive and helpful which is what you would expect for a good hotel. The hotel is very clean and has a very ‘kitsch’ style to it all.
I stayed in the Bronte apartment which had two bathrooms, a lounge, kitchen, dressing room and a very large bedroom with a very large bed. The air-​conditioning was already on so when I entered, there was a perfect breeze. The bathroom had a typical regency style to it which felt as if you were taken back in time. Sleeping at the hotel was exceptionally quiet because of its location. This was an absolute plus to Fleming’s Mayfair.
Waking up in the morning to breakfast was situated downstairs in a very ’boutique décor’ room. There was a good variety of food and the staff fill you up with coffee and tea regularly. The price of a Full English Breakfast came to £22 which is slightly pricey however, there is a vast amount of other food’s which were a little cheaper such as the pastries.
The hotel includes a restaurant and Bar with a menu of many cocktails.
The price for one night varies between £200−480 but either way, you feel as if it is your own apartment as you can exit through the back entrance without seeing anybody else and gives a very nice trusting feel to the hotel.

I’ve stayed at Flemings Mayfair Hotel for 2 nights, and never went to the hotel’s restaurants so I can only comment on the rooms and some facilities.

The lovely Cate Sevilla and I took tea here last week. Champagne afternoon tea to be precise :)
As it was pouring, I hopped in a cab there, but it’s not too far from my office in Soho. Nice and central, and in the middle of über-​posh Mayfair.
My taxi door was opened by a rather dapper gent and I was walked from front door to the restaurant by another. The place was empty (as Rebecca O says below) — but we had a very different experience to her.
The décor is sharp, with bright colours and Alice in Wonderland style nooks hiding different rooms. Mirrors and complimentary lighting make for a really nice atmosphere. I agree that it felt like we were downstairs, but I definitely wasn’t uncomfortable. We settled in, quickly decided on the traditional afternoon tea with a glass of bubbles (I forget which, but it was dry and delicious) at £32.50 a head.
The drinks were delivered quickly, with a three tiered selection of cakes to follow. We tucked into the classic mxture of cucumber, salmon, egg and ham sanwiches and then the first layer of sweets.
We had to give e kick to the waiter for our tea (a divine earl grey with rosebud concoction), but that was only because he was waiting for us to finish the champagne before bringing it.
The scones were mini, served with clotted cream as yu’d expect and individual jars of blackberry, raspbery, strawberry and apricot jam. The mini slice of victoria sponge that sat on the same plate was probably the best I’ve ever had.
The final layer was similarly indulgent, with a mini chocolte browne, cupcake, millionaire shortcake and frangipane. Very sweet, but when eaten over the course of two hours, totally manageable.
I had a lovely time at Flemings. My only disappointment was that I hadn’t realise you had to pre-​order the specialised teas 24 hours early. But with chocoholic, pink (where 20% is donated to Breakthrough Breast Cancer), savoury martini and gluten-​free on offer, I’d definitely go back.

My partner and I stayed at the Flemings Mayfair in late February 2010 for four evenings and were thoroughly pleased. We chose this hotel for its wonderful location, when traveling we like to stay in a walk-​able area but with public transport close by for visiting sites further away. The Flemings meet both our requirements with the Green Park station a 5 minute walk from the hotel.
The common areas are handsome, while the rooms are more muted and decorated to high standards.
The room was good size with two wardrobes, flat screen TV, honor bar at a charge, free coffee and tea making facilities, fast wi-​fi in the room at a charge, and a very comfortable bed nicely dressed. The bath was spacious with plenty of counter space, nice toiletries and a rain head shower that I really enjoyed.
A continental breakfast was included in our rate and it was just OK, there is room for improvement in the selection but most important in the presentation and the staff needs to keep a better eye on it. On two mornings the juice selections and the yogurts were empty, when I pointed it out, it was quickly restocked. The morning restaurant staff was very friendly and always keeps my coffee cup full but every staff member we encountered was courteous and helpful.
They deserve praise were praise is due. If there is anything you are not happy about or need amended just ask and it will be done.
We would recommend this Hotel for its great location in Mayfair, comfortable rooms and its professional staff. We hope to be back soon!

I am typically underwhelmed by hotel restaurants, and Flemings was no exception. The restaurant is located in the basement of the hotel, sans windows, and no matter how much they tried to refurbish it with expensive wallpaper and plush carpets, it still felt like a hotel basement.
A friend booked us in for afternoon tea, and we were one of three groups there that afternoon, the rest of the place empty. They tried to seat us all at tables side by side (I hate that — it’s a lousy way to fake ambiance), but we moved to a quiet corner instead.
While the sandwiches and pastries were good, the tea was luke warm and they seldom came back to check on us (that’s what we get for asking to be seated in the hinterlands). Fortunately the company was outstanding and we were having a good time catching up anyway.
Once again, there are many options for tea in London, and you can do better.

I can’t comment on the accomodation, although they were kind enough to let me have a room to shower and change in, and it seemed OK.
I went to a private dinner for 20 in one of the reception rooms, The staff on arrival were very helpful, and the library /​lounge was very cosy and restful to relax in before others arrived.
We had our pre dinner drinks in a smallish ante room, which was OK.
The dining room was very well decorated and the table décor was superb, a snaking line of smal white vases with cream roses, along with some delicate foliage.
Starters of Aspargus and serrano ham were beatifully cooked, with a superb sauce still remember it a few days later.
Main course was Lamb with a strong rosemary flavour, really good.
Cheese course was good.
Service throughout was attentive and polite, if a little too eager with the wine!

Great Location but sadly lacking in some areas as Andreas pointed out. I stayed in a twin room with a friend this week and was impressed with the new décor. It has had a refurb recently. My complaint was the initial contact at the reception desk. It took some time for them to find my reservation and the staff were very cold and unsmiling which is very unprofessional for a hotel of this calibre and cost. I was woken at 5am by delivery vans outside making a lot of noise shouting from one to another and rattling crates of bread etc (delice de France van) This highlights that the double glazing in not efficient or evident! The continental breakfast at £16 is only average. The cheese selection was very basic (sliced processed cheese) and the breakfast area is quite cramped unless you choose a side room. Its a business hotel with a business price tag but they need to treat their guests better in my opinion.

Can’t believe I have stayed here twice already over last 6 months! Just because of a recommendation by a colleague…
The hotel rooms are very clean but their sizes miniscule and especially the last one felt claustrophobic. To make things worse, the first room was right next to the lobby/​reception with everybody walking by and the second room, to top it off, was only accessible by walking outside and using a seperate small entrance 20 meters from main entrance. Really strange.
And all that for 200 pounds a night!
Never again…
