Big room, clean, comfortable bed
Chris S.

If you're looking for a hotel with English charm and character this is not the one. If you're looking for a hotel with big rooms, comfortable beds, great lobby bar, great location, excellent shower pressure, great AC this is the one. Close enough to the action yet on a quiet street. Would 100% stay here again.

I would say 3.5 stars, but since we are not allowed to give a half star... This is a review on their afternoon tea. At the hostess station, we told them we have a reservation for afternoon tea. It was like a large tent, had an upscale, whimsical feel to it. I liked the greeneries everywhere. They had a book and a box on each table, the book was utilized as a menu holder. White box was full of sugar, with a tiny little ballerina in it. Loved this! Once we were settled, a staff brought over the choices of tea in bottles. Each one named in Alice in Wonderland theme. When the three-tiered afternoon tea treats arrived, we were all excited. They were so cute and whimsical! It came with loads of tasty-looking items. We had: Smoked Salmon Scotch Quails Egg, Stack of King of Hearts Ham and Parmesan croque-monsieur, Cornish Crab Brioche Roll, White Rabbit Cucumber and Cream Cheese Sandwich, Alice's Exotic Fruits Drink Me Potion, Queen of Hearts rose and strawberry Jammy Dodger Mocha chessboard gateau, Tweedle Dee lemon curd financier, Mad March Hare vanilla pocket watch macaroon, Chocolate and raspberry Blue Caterpillar, Wonderland marshmallow magic mushrooms, Mad Hatters lost carrot meringue, Sandersons warm scones When we were getting close to the end, a staff brought a little flower pots for everyone. It was Salted Caramel Ice Cream with Honeycomb on top. It was really tasty! We had a fun, whimsical afternoon tea here for sure. The quality of each food item was, well, more "style over substance" if you know what I mean. They all looked great, but the flavor was not as strong for most. The savory items had better, stronger flavor than the sweets. Most of the baked goods and desserts were overly sweet. We still enjoyed the experience for sure.

Afternoon tea

One of my favorite places to go to! The Mad Hatters afternoon tea was amazing. Have a mic of savory and sweets, and absolutely delicious scones (best part in my opinion). Lovely selection of 5 different teas to choose from. And you know what the best part is?? It is unlimited for 2 hours! Well worth the price you are paying for.

Room service: English muffin with an egg, accompanied by roasted tomatoes.

The Sanderson Hotel is modern and seems more like a museum at times. My room was spacious and comfortable, however quite lacking on the color palette, as I felt the futuristic vibes. I suppose it couldn't have been more appropriate, as I was reading Issac Asimov's, "Robot Dreams", upon my arrival. The staff is helpful and room service was good. I was there for a week and utilized the laundry/dry cleaning services and it was spectacular. The clothes are returned as if they were a gift and smell fantastic. I have no complaints for my stay!

The venue itself is super girly and pretty. Perfect for catching up with friends. At £48pp excluding service charge for afternoon tea, I thought it was actually extremely over priced for what we had. The savoury selection including two types of sandwiches..some which were actually soggy from the cucumber slices. The crab scones and scotch egg felt like it was lacking flavour. Onto the sweets...the passion fruit 'drink me' drinks were yummy, but it was difficult to suck it all out as it was pretty thick and it was very small. The chocolate oreo biscuits was light and crunchy, scones were tasty and very filling and the chocolate caterpillar was rich and maybe a tad too sweet. Mushrooms and carrots didn't really taste of much. Strawberry ladybug and cupcakes were okay. Go for the pretty venue, cute cutlery and photo opportunities. Don't go expecting amazing food.

My husband and I were looking for something fun to do in London. I chose to go to Sanderson Hotel and enjoy their mad Hatter high tea experience. I had the mad hatter tea. It has a peach scent the flavor was really light. The sweet and savory options were so delicious. The manager stopped by every table to ensure that we were happy and satisfied. We were more than happy with our experience

Dessert - Ice cream as a potted plant!
Alex W.

I did not stay at the Sanderson.. I only went for the Alice in Wonderland afternoon tea and also had a few drinks at the Long Bar. Long Bar: SUPER long bar with an extensive menu. Our group of 4 all ordered different drinks.. all were delicious and strong. They were also expensive but still worth it for just one drink. Alice in Wonderland afternoon tea: Our host had us wait 10 minutes so we didn't have to sit indoors next to some construction they were working on which was nice. We sat outside and our server was enthusiastic and warm. I won't bore everyone with the details about the menu as there are plenty in the other reviews. I will say that our group had a GREAT time with the cutely named teas (I got the Cheshire Cat!), the delicious savory treats, and the star of the show: the dessert carousel with such creative designed cakes (everyone's favorite was the red velvet ladybug). The ice cream dessert at the end in the shape of a potted plant was perfect. One member of our group is also vegetarian, and the staff was easily able to provide a vegetarian version of everything. A few cons (that are more or less outweighed by pros): I was expecting some Alice in Wonderland ambiance, especially with the garden space in the middle.. missed opportunity I suppose. The focus is more on the desserts so by the end, I felt like I was about to become diabetic from the sweets. Still, I would greatly recommend this as a novelty experience. Take your selfies and your photo ops, down the sugar like there's no tomorrow, and go grab real lunch / dinner afterwards.

Sanderson Hotel Terrace

While, naturally, I can't exactly afford to give the Sanderson my first born or perhaps my right arm in exchange for a room - I can definitely afford to sit in their lovely terrace and enjoy a cup of fresh mint tea. If you can survive sitting in the presence of Botoxed fashion journalists who order Afternoon Tea but don't eat the cakes, and men who refer to those they're having lunch with as "Mr Big Executive Producer Man", this place is well worth it. (Or there's a very nice bathroom you can run vomit into, if the wanky businessman talk gets to be too much.) In the terrace, aside from media types, you're surrounded by flowing, white drapes, Starck's Ghost Chairs, framed portraits of dogs, sunshine, and a fountain surrounded by gorgeous plants and flowers. In other words, you're surrounded by a lot of WIN. The interior of the hotel is magnificent, and while their staff is a little stuffy, the door men look like extras from Chicago (sadly they do not dance or sing) and the swanky, funky, posh atmosphere will definitely put a smile on your face. (Even if you're just laughing at their clientèle.) I say this is the perfect place to have a cup of tea with a client, lover, or perhaps even a Client Who is Also Your Lover.

From the outside of this"Urban Spa" hotel you would never guess what lies inside. On their website, the Sanderson describes themselve as "a hotel with modern sex appeal" and that is exactly what they are. The interior of this 50's landmark hotel was entirely redesigned by the renowned Phillip Starck into a fancy surrealist dreamlike interior. I'm talking swan-rimmed armchairs, the famous red-lipped sofa, colourful chaise longue, floating transparent armchairs and theatrical curtains. So far, I have only ever seen the lobby and the famous and intriguing Long Bar. The bar is equipped with a never-ending counter and stools with eyes peeping out at you. I also had a peep at the courtyard and the star-studded space-like lift. The bar is expensive but a good place to come for a special celebratory drink. The Sanderson is one of the top locations to visit in every London design book. If like me, you cannot yet afford a sleepover at this sumptuous hotel, you can always pop in and have look because it's worth it.

Endless tea in delightful crockery

The Mad Hatters Afternoon Tea has been in my to do list ever since they started it and it did not disappoint. The hotel itself is a maze of different spaces, bars & dining options. We were in the main restaurant with a view of everything. After choosing from a selection of teas we started the experience. There were menus hidden in books, a tower of themed cakes and sandwiches - there were lots of surprises along the way that delighted us at every turn. Not the cheapest afternoon tea you will find but worth every penny and a real fun treat.

First up, see the photos... I was at the Sanderson on a hot summer saturday for the Alice In Wonderland inspired 'Mad Hatter's Afternoon Tea' and I was damn impressed. The tea set runs til March 2011 and is playing along with the whole 2010 Alice thing. It's over 20 quid but in London that's no big deal. As a connoisseur and serial reviewer of afternoon tea (check my website), just the mere mention of something other than the usual cucumber sandwiches and scones will get me interested so how about...? * hold and cold pineapple lolly * banana, peanut and salt smoothie in an edible chocolate cup * exploding ice cream ball on a stick * passion fruit and popping candy toffee fob-watch tart * Eat Me cake ... that's culinary imagination! It was entertaining, and in many places the tastes came together just perfectly, especially for the smoothie. There was still a good set of coloured finger sandwiches, fresh and soft with no stale edges, which is one-up on so many other hotel teas. The scones weren't first class but the clotted cream was. The jasmine flower teas come in big glasses for full view (but hot hands) and are worth a try, although it was a hassle getting the staff to top-up the water. I was sad to get my Earl Grey tea in a thick Chinese tea pot when everything else was so Olde English, but he three-level tea set trays were particularly beautiful - all assembled from assorted vintage cup and saucer sets. More of this please. So even if you don't like tea, even if you don't like Alice, even if you don't like lounging around in a luxury design hotel and spotting Kevin Spacey by the pond then still come try this afternoon tea just for the fun of the creative food. Truly inspired by Heston B and Tim Burton - modern day Mad Hatters of London.

The sweet little sugar box!

I went to the Sanderson hotel with my mum for an afternoon tea. They offer a 'mad hatters tea party' Alice in wonderland style! I was so impressed! We were seated in an outdoor canopy area, lots of green plants and a water fountain. Being a Tuesday afternoon I figured it would be very quiet, I was totally wrong, the atmosphere was buzzing! Full of hen parties, birthdays and other mother/daughter treats! You have a choice of normal at £38pp, or champagne, which I think was £10 more. We went for the normal We were given a choice of fantastic teas (they also had your normal English/earl grey). I had rhubarb and custard tea. The sugar box was a musical box with a dancing ballerina! We started with cute little sandwiches, smoked salmon on lime bread, cucumber & toast cheese on parmesan bread (this one was a little on the soggy side) etc. etc. Followed by mini carrot macaroons, then a whole array of playful treats - chocolate cups filled with mousse, victoria sponge, even a little 'drink me' potion bottle which I'm not sure what was in it, but it was delicious all the same! Finally we had sweet and savoury scones. The savoury scones were my favourite out of the whole tea! They were parmasan and herb and came with a herby butter, I could eat 20 of them! Sadly, we were so full up we couldn't finish everything so our waiter happily boxed everything up for us and I took it home to treat my housemate! My only qualm was that we decided we would like Champagne after all, but it never turned up! After eating so much food, I wouldn't have been able to drink any so we decided not to ask for it. We were charged for it anyway so I spoke to the manager, she was so lovely about it, took it off the bill and gave us 10% off so we left very very full and happy! Would definitely return!

The Sanderson is a strange place. It's a 70's hotel that has tried to drag itself into the 21st century...and failed, miserably. There's really beautiful, contemporary design flourishes here and some really nasty tacky ones. And then you have the parts of the original architecture they can't hide but they've failed to make it a part of the design so it sticks out really incongruently. Like a massive.peddble-dashed concrete pillar in what is attempting to be a chic, conptmporary restaurant area. Or the 70s functional stairway that they've "modernised" by painting it lime green - huge fail, it just leaves you with a sinister feeling, like you're in a scene from The Shining. Or the utilitarian toilets they've tried to bling up with some glitzy furniture and mirrors. I'm not actually saying don't go. This place is worth maybe popping into for a drink just for the oddity of decor. One area to check out is the pool room just off the lobby. It's quite surreal, but then the whole place is! But, this area is quite stunning and probably has the most consistency in it's decor - it has to be seen! Okay, so I didn't actually stay at the hotel. I came here for the Mad Hatter's Afternoon Tea. Now, this was quite a novelty! Beautiful, mad hatter themed plates, cups and saucers, etc... Pretty, colourful and imaginative presentation of the food. But then the actual food...mmm, well, that was quite pleasant, sometimes bland but nothing really stand out. So, I've been. I've had the Mad Hatter experience, I have the photos to prove it (seriously, the presentation is novel, it was hard to resist not photographing it!). But was it worth money? No, I'm afraid not. Oh! And a heads up if you do go: It seems it's mostly women that this appeals to, perfectly coiffed, perfectly made-up women. I felt vey much like I was lost in the land of Stepford Wives!

The rooms were very comfortable with plentiful amenities like complimentary bottled water, mini fridge, robes and slippers, etc. The bed was so soft and there were a good variety of channels on the television. All staff we interacted with at the hotel were helpful and kind. There was a fire evacuation on one of the days we were there and an announcement came on the loud speaker informing us to leave and staff members guided us to the exit quickly. The buffet breakfast was nice with omelets by request, a variety of hot and cold items (bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns, baked beans, pancakes/waffles, fresh fruit and vegetables, juices, cereal, yogurt, pastries). There were servers to clear your plates and provide drinks. We had drinks one evening at the bar and Marco was such an entertaining and efficient bartender. He made our evening memorable and put so much attention into making our cocktails and providing us with information about the signature drinks available. Overall I would stay here again! The location was wonderful and we had a very comfortable stay.

We are so fortunate to have spent four nights at The Langham, using it as our base for the trip. This hotel is steeped in history as the first "Grand Hotel" in London and all of Europe, pioneering amenities that were truly groundbreaking for their time. It's also where the tradition of Afternoon Tea was popularized beyond aristocratic circles and introduced to a wider audience. The Langham is also known for their signature scent, almost like a spicy rose, that we are still thinking about to this day. It is the first thing that greets you in the lobby but is not overpowering; you know immediately where you are. The service we received was nothing short of warm and attentive. Our Superior Room was ready upon check-in and very comfortable. We stayed in briefly to recharge from the jet lag and time change before heading down for Afternoon Tea at the Palm Court, which is an experience in itself. A special shout-out to our server, who was extremely generous with scone refills when my wife had to step away briefly after the long journey. Complimentary tea is also served downstairs each morning in a quick grab-and-go fashion, which gave us the daily energy we needed before heading out for a full day of planned activities and sightseeing. Marylebone is ideally situated in the heart of central London, with easy access to hot spots like Mayfair and SoHo. The London Underground is just steps from the hotel, putting most of the city within about 20 minutes' reach. Shopping, dining, and museums are all nearby, and the Hotel Concierge was proactive enough to reach out before our trip to help book activities. One highlight was the swimming pool, located beneath the hotel in what was once an underground bank vault. We didn't make it to the gym, but we did peek inside and it was beautifully appointed. We are fans of The Langham brand and can't wait to return to The Langham London and explore their properties in other cities around the world!

One year later we were back for a mother daughter trip with another mother/daughter. I originally booked the St Ermins again, but then thought it may be fun to switch it up and stay in a new area of London. A friend/travel agent recommended The Marylebone Hotel, which met all of our requirements: - easy to get around in London - fairly priced by London standards - good shopping/restaurant area We arrived a little cranky from our flight in Edinburgh after a 2 hour Uber from the airport. They greeted us warmly and even told me they had an upgrade for me, although ran out of upgraded for my friend which didn't make her happy. To be fair our rooms were right next to each other and I didn't see a difference so don't think mine was really "upgraded" The rooms like most in London were small. We had 2 twin beds pushed together. It was basically like sleeping in one big bed, but we had our own set of covers which made my 13 year old happy. Everything was very clean and nice, but small. The attached gym was great. It seemed to be a popular local gym so was quite crowded, but if there was room in classes hotel guests could join. I did a leg class one day, which I enjoyed...although got a great leg workout just walking miles and miles around London everyday. The surrounding area was so cute - filled with boutiques (some unique to London and other popular back in the states). There were lots of little cafes to grab a treat as well. We spent a lot of time in covenant garden to see shows on this trip, which was quite the walk but great way to get exercise. And when we returned from the craziness of covenant garden it was nice to be in a quiet area. Breakfast was included in our daily rate. The buffet was adequate and I enjoyed eggs and coffee from the menu. We also received a $50 room credit, which we used to raid the mini bar the last day for some airplane snacks. I thought St Ermins was the perfect pick for my family's first trip to London since it was right next to the tube and near so many sites, but this hotel worked out perfectly for a mother daughter eating, shopping and shows adventure.

The large bowl-shaped sink takes up most of the counter so you are forced to squeeze in your stuff uber and around the bowl. Sadly, the faucet BARELY makes it over the edge of the bowl so when you wash your hands, water goes everywhere and ends up spreading around the counter and gets your toiletries wet! Ugh!! That one detail is definitely not up to the normal Hotel Indigo standard in my opinion. Whoever designed the bathroom should never be hired again! This should be a 3 star review based on that. But.... The saving grace was the front desk and the maintenance guy. We quickly discovered that our safe didn't work. The front desk got the maintenance guy to our room quickly and he reset it. When we were ready to leave, it failed again so they summoned the maintenance guy again. He reset it but it failed again. So he proceeded to replace the safe. Those things are HEAVY!!! The poor guy had to lug it up from downstairs, unbox it, take out the old one, install the new one and then lug the old one back downstairs!! This guy was sweating profusely but handled everything so professionally. So kudos to him and the front desk for making this happen so quickly, thus the 4 stars!!

We had such an amazing experience here. The front desk was so attentive and kind. We had some…read morespecial needs because one of the guests has had a recent surgery, and they did a great job of placing us near the elevator and giving us a room that made it easily accessible for the person. The room was lovely and comfortable. This was the end of a long trip, so we enjoyed breakfast at the hotel restaurant, which was surprisingly good
