Only 2 sets of towels for a 3 person room but the room attendant was knocking at 8:30 (they come early to clean) so we got more towels & paper.

They had a wonderful breakfast with almost everything you could want for a traditional English breakfast. My faves: awesome waffles, pastries, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, & surprisingly the porridge! The offered eggs to order, and tons of drink options, including smoothies. I have to give special props to one of the servers who checks you in and takes your dishes, his name was Yin, he was exceptional. Overall excellent stay!!

The Margarita Pizza tasted like a kids menu cheese pizza i would find back home in the U.S. The Fish and Chips also had a very fast food, microwaved, type feel and taste. The hamburger tasted very plain as well. Being a hotel restaurant, I was expecting better quality in the food.

It is attached to a very posh Chelsea hotel (Sloane Place). The food matches the hotel (and private club attached as well). The food was excellent. I had the Veal wiener schnitzel - perfectly cooked veal with a breading so light you barely known it is there except for the crunch of breadcrumbs and butter. My mother had a caesar salad, wchih was "huge" (her words) but a great salad none-the-less. The "piece-de-resistance" was the sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream and caramel.

Our family of four with kids ages 9 and 10 booked this specifically for the kids while we were in…read moreLondon, and it ended up being one of the more unique and memorable experiences of the trip. We were looking for something fun and different from a traditional afternoon tea, and this definitely leaned more interactive than expected. Arrival and First Impressions Reservations are important, and when we arrived the space was already filled with families. The setting feels polished but still very welcoming for kids, which is not always the case with afternoon tea in London. Service was excellent from the start, organized without feeling too formal, and the overall atmosphere had a fun, lively energy. The Highlights The experience is built around science themed trays filled with a mix of sweet and savory items. The kids immediately locked into the interactive elements, especially the build your own strawberry lemonade with different colored syrups, which turned into more of a mini experiment than just a drink. They also had cake pops, scones, and small PB and J sandwiches, all very approachable and fun. One of the better touches was a small take home item, a dinosaur themed tin, which the kids treated like a prize from the experience. It added to the overall feeling that this was designed with kids in mind. The adult trays had a similar variety with finger sandwiches, pastries, custards, and scones. Everything was solid and there was plenty to try. Being able to request more of anything you liked helped balance things out a bit and made it feel less restrictive for the price. The Challenges The biggest drawback is the cost. For a family of four it came out to around 350 USD, which is a significant spend for what is essentially afternoon tea. It leans more toward a themed experience than a traditional tea service, so if you are expecting something quiet and refined, this may not be the right fit. Final Thoughts This is one of those experiences that works really well if you go in with the right expectations. It is interactive, a little chaotic in a good way, and clearly designed for families more than traditional tea purists. We would not rush back and I removed a star due to the price, but we are glad we did it once because the kids genuinely loved it and still talk about it. If you are looking for something unique and are comfortable with the cost, it is worth it for the experience, though the value depends on how much you lean into the interactive side.

The savory sandwiches were our favorite. The scones were very good with fun toppings to try on your jam and cream. The sweets were just okay.

The scrambled eggs are soft and fluffy and the avocado with a poached egg on toast is delightful. This is our fourth visit for breakfast to this restaurant in the week. While previous visits the service was lovely and prompt, today's service was subpar. The seating was quick, but that's the only thing that was quick this morning. The waiter failed to bring out all items ordered and when the pastry baskets came out all of the pastries were cold and not warmed as before. The poached eggs were hard boiled and needed to be replaced and water was never brought to the table after three requests. I would give this restaurant a 2 overall rating if I had not previously rated it a 4 all along.

My two girlfriends and I rented a triple room and it was roomy enough for us, all of our luggage and towers of shopping bags. We were only given one key, and you have to be buzzed in for safety reasons after 10 or 11 pm, but that was fine for us. The staff was so accommodating. The bathroom had a towel warmer which came in handy- it is freezing in London right now. We had the perfect view of The Buttery's garden from our huge window. There is an adorable market just steps away- for provisions after hours. In the states we are used to hotel rooms having in room refrigerators- but the market made it easy to get cold drinks every night. 10/10

Ssshhhh! I honestly don't want to tell anyone about the Lime Tree Hotel - it's only 26 rooms and…read moreprobably the best kept secret in this very posh area of London!! But for you, Yelp, I'll spill the reasons why you should stay here on your next visit to London... 1) The Location is awesome. You know the three rules of real-estate, right??? location, Location, LOCATION! Lime Tree (hence-forth, LT) is located in a very posh area of London. I saw McLarens and Rolls-Royces parked ON THE STREET where the hotel is located. Who parks a USD$200K+ car ON THE STREET?!? It is short walk to the Victoria Coach Station(s), Trains and Underground (Tube). There are plenty of pubs, restaurants, grocery stores and shops around. Our room overlooked the Peggy Porschen Bakery, which I kid you not, is Instagramed during all hours by "influencers". I only hope they get as much busy as they get featured in pics on the Internet! Also, down the street is Philip Treacy, Milner to Royalty! Again, LOCATION! 2) I would be remiss if I did not mention The Service at LT. There is an eight-hour shift rotation of lovely front desk people that check you in, collect your key when you leave (yes, there is a physical key to your room door and they ask that you leave it at the front desk everytime you leave). I am goingto butcher their name spellings (probably), but during our 8 night stay here, we came to know Simone, Martine, Maggy and Laura very well and all were charming, helpful and total professionals. My mother has stayed here several times before and was hoping to speak to the owner, Matt and Charlotte, but they were off on holiday, but I hear they are as hard-working and amiable as the Wondrous Women of the Front Desk (henceforth known as WWFD) 3) The Buttery - the SMALL breakfast/lunch restaurant in the LT (but you can't charge your meals to your room in the LT). The Word is out on on this place - there were just as many Locals eating here as there were guests at the hotel. RESERVATIONS are HIGHLY recommended (they are on OpenTable). I wrote a seperate review on The Buttery, so do a Yelp search and find that, but you honestly can't go wrong here. We ate 4 of the 8 days. TomTom across the street is also a one-location (at this time) gem and is packed after 9am. Early bird gets the good breakfast! Much love to the Lime Tree! I'll be back someday
