My stay at The Athenaeum was a mixed bag. While the location was fantastic and truly within walking distance of attractions like Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park, I did experience a few hiccups during my visit. Some aspects, like the room's cleanliness and the attentive staff, made for a pleasant experience, yet certain issues, like noise at night and a heating problem, detracted from the luxury feel I'm accustomed to. Overall, I can recommend it for its charm and location but would advise potential guests to consider these factors. ✨😊
