Last reviewed the raddison blu Russell Street. Gave it rave revues and rightly so previously stated in London business every week for the last three months and that it was price driven however it had to be a minimum 4 star. Just had a one night stay at the hilton green park. Had a look at mixed revues but got a deal 125 including breakfast. Had to try it . Well again prices being nadine in London chances of this again anytime soon will be slim but if your looking for a good hotel at a faith price this is a hairline short off being perfect at least for my stay. The hotel staff were great at check in reception itself tired but elegant. Room I had a single.again very tired but I stayed at the Gainsborough in south Kensington the week before more money and terrible one definitely to swerve. The TV service is poor but I can watch TV at home and I'm here to work.good bed comfortable and Good linen. Breakfast!!!!. Now we are talking top drawer excellence. Good staff proffetional. Helping at every point and not over the top. Great buffet selection and a live omelette station.great nice dining room. Much nicer than the raddison more personal smaller and homely. Green Park is more relaxed on the side streets and some of the best restaurants in London on the floor step. I've stayed at browns around the corner five star all the way.this is a building of similar structure being in interior high end fittings out all my working life this hotel is a hairs breadth from being up there with the best. Hilton are possibly missing a trick here.but at what price. A good sympathetic refurb which it clearly needs would do that everything else is near perfect. But at what price. The next time I look on hotel Web sites to get the best deal it will again be 200 plus because London is mad and no constant. But if your looking for a deal.dismiss most of the bad revues give it a whirlpool what's not to like. Hilton give at a refurb and browns a run for there money. I would pay the premium for that special occasion. Don't change anything else though your staff make the place. David cumberworth Bradford

Stayed for 3 nights at Fleming's Mayfair, 13 Half Moon Street Apartments at the conclusion of our central europe vacation. London was our final destination before heading home. I had chosen an apartment stay in London because it's much better value than London's overpriced hotels. It also offered us access to our own washer-dryer inside the apartment. After 2 weeks of sightseeing in Europe we desperately needed to wash our clothes. Moreover I chose Fleming's 13 Half Moon Street Apartments because it has a superb Mayfair location. All -n-all, the apartment was nice and for 3 days it met our needs. It was moderately luxurious, it was affordable, it had a perfect little kitchen, a comfortable king bed and a fairly modern bath with tiny shower stall and 1/2 bath off the LR. For 2 people it's perfect. However, a couple of complaints need mentioning. When I first arrived, the first apartment we were taken to had a very small double bed. Better suited for 1 person. When I first made the reservation 6-months prior, I had requested an apartment with a king bed---alll documented and acknowledged. When I intitally complained, the hotel floor manager immediately switched us to the correct apartment, while telling us how fortunate this was that the 2nd apartment was still available. Hmmm. No biggie, but certainly a questionable beginning. Nonetheless we got the right apartment and that's what counts. The apartment's washer/dryer was something out of the 19th century. The washer is soooooo slow, while the dryer isn't really a dryer, it's a tumbler. It took all day and all night to wash and tumble and by morning the next day, my clothes were still wet. When I complained, the hotel staff again apologized and offered to dry my clothes at no extra charge. I was able to clean enought until I got home which was better than nothing. Once that situation was rectified, our overall stay at the apartment improved. Also, something else worth mentioning. I noticed whenever we turned on the faucets to wash our hands it would take twenty seconds or so before water would come out. (Perhaps we Americans are too spoiled). Anyway, according to the hotel staff, plumbing in London is in desperate need for a major makeover. Perhaps we Americans forget how old London really is. Oddly enough, we didn't have that problem anywhere else in Europe. Hmmm. Maybe that's what makes it charming. Lastly, we had two TV's, one in the LR and one in the bedroom. Both were small HD TV's. However, twice I had to have service on the bedroom TV because it continued to malfunction. Funny, but the hotel only offers just a few channels anyway, making it really not worth watching. (Sometimes after a long day of sightseeing, we like to come back in the late afternoon and watch CNN, catch up on what's going on at home). Good televisions in Europe's better hotels are also very available, but not at this hotel/ apartment for some odd reason. However, we didn't come to London to watch television. Still, it seems to me that would be something that should be a given. Would I stay at this apartment hotel again? Oh absolutely! I loved the accomodations especially the location. It was comfortable, quiet and charming.

“Nice enough”

The hotel was nice though the staff seemed distant. Room was small but that could be down to a cheap deal via an agent. Breakfast was good. Had issues with the room staff didnt respond. I wrote letter ignored also.
