The Marylebone Hotel

I personally haven’t stayed at this hotel, but acquaintance who have stated it’s lovely.
What I have done is to go there for their afternoon tea, which is better than anything I have tried for a long time. How can you beat homemade pastries, scones with cream and really superb sandwiches. There is also a choice of 6 different types of tea brought for you to savor and enjoy. You can have as much as you want; all served by the most helpful and pleasant staff.

We spent 2 weeks in London at the Marylebone hotel. The best part of our stay was the staff. The building itself is not without issues here and there due to age, but the staff is responsive and addresses issues immediately. For example, we were in a room where the air conditioning was a bit noisy and were moved immediately. Its located right off the high street and perfect for shopping and quick access to restaurants. It also provides access to a very good fitness center in the hotel building that has current machines and fun classes such as TRX, spinning, yoga, etc. We have stayed there so many times yhat we have our favorite rooms which Gunther remembers and holds for us. Christos in the breakfast service always has a smile and seems to remember our breakfast orders as well. Gunther at the front desk always make sure we are well taken care of and that’s why it’s our go to place to stay in london. It’s a more intimate, homey place to stay in a big cosmopolitan city!

I recently stayed here on business travel and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The staff is remarkably courteous and attentive, going out of their way on details like remembering your name. Every request I had was quickly fulfilled, the room was very comfortable, and even the internet connection I was provided was above par.
Highly suggest this hotel for your next trip if you are considering staying in the Marylebone area.

I stayed at a hotel in the centre of London because that’s how I roll.

I stayed at The Marylebone Hotel from Dec 20−22^rd, 2013… it was a great experience. Ironically an even more special (and memorable one!) as the courteous staff there assisted me re: some initial drama (my deal, not the hotel) minutes after arriving at the hotel…
Upon checking-​in after a looooooong non-​stop from Los Angeles to London, I realized my wallet was missing from my handbag. A very frightening realization… as it had my entire life in from credit cards to my healthcare card to my California drivers license. Scariest part, this was only day 1 of my 23 day overseas trip. Fortunately I was carrying some pounds sterling that was in a separate envelope in my bag. Anyways… I had a strong sense that left my wallet somewhere at the airport vs. it being stolen. Gunther at the front desk at the hotel along with Rahim (manager) helped call around and yes, we finally tracked it down at Heathrow — a miracle in and of itself!
Since my room had already been fully paid for (at the time of my online booking!), they allowed me to still check in to a room. I quickly dropped stuff off in my room and jetted off back to Heathrow. I was able to retrieve my wallet — thanks to some very honest store owners at the arrival lounge (where I stopped to buy something before taking the Heathrow Express in to London).
Back at the hotel, finally at 9pm… I came straight to the front desk to put a credit card down for incidentals during my stay… and Gunther, with a smile on his face handed me another card along with my credit card and said «I think you might need this tonight»…it was a card (voucher) for a complimentary drink at the bar. Super thoughtful.
180 Bar/​Lounge + Restaurant: very charming, great staff and delicious food.
I ended up having a drink and dinner at the hotel that same night. Everything was great… vibe, staff, menu + food. I ordered the fish n chips and yes, a drink — an amazing cocktail… made with fresh juices and tons of mint leaves!
Overall, loved the intimate + beautiful boutique feel of The Marylebone Hotel… had a great room w/​a smallish bathroom (smallish by american standards, not European. random note = loved all the fittings in the bathroom, major plus = heated floors). Also, loved the the spa downstairs, juice bar at 180 for healthy smoothies and fresh pressed juices, super professional/​friendly staff… AND Marylebone being a great neighbourhood in London. Marylebone High Street = charming!
I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone considering making reservations at The Marylebone Hotel!
Buon Voyage…

Nice pool and gym in basement. Free for guest use. Pool was never too crowded. Although it was a bit cold in the water, the air was warm, and there was a hot sauna or steam room right next to the pool. Ahhhhhh. Great for stretching out and swimming laps.
Free wifi woo-​hoo!
Kind and attentive staff. Excellent manager. Nice touches with service. Herbal tea sent up near bedtime. Fruit and chocolate in room. Free bottles of water at bedtime.
Attention paid to the type of room I needed. Quiet. Three chairs a desk and small table. Queen bed.
Room for improvement. My mattress seemed a little soft… could use a new mattress. But I always woke without any backache! Maybe I’m just not used to a non-​pillow top mattress.
Down pillows or regular. Nice.
Doorman and concierge helpful.
Feels friendly & attentive and has a more personal touch than the bigger chains. The staff seems to know our name, even the doorman.
I booked a deluxe room which is bigger than standard. Requested higher floor and got 6^th floor. Liked our quiet cozy room. Very quiet room. No noise from hallway! At night can’t hear any traffic.
Room was big enough for our comfort. If you like a huge room this isn’t it. Bathroom was a comfortable size although not large certainly big enough. Medium size bathroom. Shower nice although situated over a narrow tub
I feel regretful about checking out of the Marylebone which is my ultimate sign of a lovely stay.

Très bel hôtel au luxe contemporain un brin baroque et situé tout près de Bond, Oxford et Regent Streets.
Il suffit de regarder les photos pour se donner une idée du décor: ce n’est pas que joli, c’est aussi hyper confortable. Je voudrais le même lit chez moi! Les chambres né sont pas toujours spacieuses mais sont équipées d’un bureau, de plusieurs fauteuils, et d’une machine Nespresso (avec 3 capsules fournies: court, long, déca).
Bön et puis c’est calme (parce qu’il n’y a pas de bars dans la rue ou parce que c’est particulièrement bien isolé).
Le breakfast est excellent (buffet £6 ou à la carte).
Il y a aussi une piscine, une salle de sport et un spa mais je né les ai pas essayés.
Ha, et détail important: wifi dans tout l’hôtel.

I am ONLY writing to review the afternoon tea at the Marylebone, not the hotel rooms, etc. My family of four (kids 11 & 7) wanted to end our week’s vacation in London with an afternoon tea. On a previous trip my husband and I had tried Brown’s, which was fine, but we were not wed to going back there. I found a UK afternoon tea website with special offers and the Marylebone Hotel’s tea was on offer. We made the reservation easily on line for tea that same afternoon. We arrived a bit early and our table was waiting. Tea is served in the lobby/​lounge area — a series of rooms, all stylish & unique. The table was set for tea with very pretty china, cloth napkins, etc. Our server — Margaret – brought out the selection of teas in vials for us to sniff. We each made our selection (two Early Greys, one chamomile and one lemon verbena) and we were on our way. Margaret brought us each our own teapot, and four tiered stands filled with sandwiches & scones (four sandwiches per person — the egg salad was especially good — two scones each, devon cream and jam). When we had enjoyed our fill of those treats, Margaret invited us to select from a serving board filled with cakes and pastries. The Victoria sponge was especially popular with our group. There were also jammy dodgers, macaroons, chocolate mousse. All delicious This is a first rate tea in a relaxing, elegant environment. And I cannot say enough about how lovely our server, Margaret, was. She was especially sweet with our children, very attentive to all of us – just great. Highly recommend.

My stay at the Marylebone was very, very good. The hotel is charmingly decorated, rooms are very new and fresh, all of the technology was working properly and when we had a minor glitch with a light it was repaired literally within minutes.
Nice turndown service with free bottle of bedside water was a good touch.
The hotel has a top notch fitness center with a 18m pool, sauna, steam room and spa services which are always nice to have at your disposal when travelling.
The breakfast was good, not exceptional, but with excellent service.

The big screen mounted upon the wall in the lavishly decorated Marylebone Hotel showed the story of our Queen, and her Royal Family; the ups and downs, trials and tribulations, and this created the atmosphere for our delightful Jubilee themed Afternoon Tea.
The tea selection was vast, and was well explained by our waitress. They were so good in fact then we ended up trying over 4 flavours between us, and I couldn’t pick a favourite! Once our tea was served a stand of sandwiches, cakes and scones were brought to our table for us to enjoy. And enjoy we did, with outstanding fillings such as Coronation Chicken, and Devilled Egg it was shame when the platter came to an end. But alas, there were still the divine scones and cakes to get through.
After filling ourselves to the brim with all of the delights they put before us, and polishing off a bottle of perfectly paired champagne. There was one more thing left to do, try more tea! Letting our waitress pick her favourites we were certainly not disappointed. Silver Needle Tea is meant to help your digestive system and you really need it after the amount you’re given! I’d highly recommend this as one or your main stops over the Jubilee Weekend.

This the first time I have stayed here and I was pleasantly surprised. The value and location is only one of the great aspects of the hotel. It’s in one of the best spots in London, centrally located to great restaurants and pubs. The gym associated with the hotel is one of the best gyms I have ever been in. I have stayed at many London hotels and I would rank the Marylebone up on my list.

I’ve stayed here four times now, and they’re pretty good. For the price, it’s almost a five star rating from me. Ah, eff it. Five stars it is! Here’s why:
1. They recognize me when I pull up in the taxi. That’s a nice feeling. And ranked as number one because I am apparently self-​obsessed.
2. Free upgrades. Two of my four stays, I’ve been bumped up to a better room. Nice!
3. Free access to The Third Space gym. Hello! Best gym I’ve been to in London, and I’ve been to maybe six or seven. I love it. Freeeeee!
4. Tea, fruit, and chocolates with turn-​down service. Don’t mind if you do!
5. Toiletries are nice. My ladyfriend likes the hand lotion so much I have to steal, I mean borrow, a few bottles each time I go.
6. Decent bar and restaurant, too. Though nothing to get that excited about.
7. The price! For the area, it’s relatively cheap. Anywhere from 155 – 185 for a regular room. That’s good.
The only downside I can think of is that the little elevator in the back that leads to and from the gym, it smells like an egg fart, anytime of day or night. It’s so weird. If there was a way to get to the gym without using the elevator or walking around the entire perimeter of the building, aka some internal stairs, I would do it. It’s embarrassing — people get in the elevator and they think it was you. It wasn’t! It smells like this all year round!
They give you a water on departure, too. It’s nice. I drink it on the way to the airport and think, yep, I’ll be back. And I will.
I’ve stayed at about 11 or 12 hotels in London and this is definitely my favorite, primarily due to the gym, the service, and the price. I’ve got a fantastic four mile loop that I run, that weaves through most of Hyde and part of Kensington parks, too.
Ahh, just writing about it is giving me a Maryleboner.

Great little hotel with wonderful staff, nice little rooms and little touches missing in many other hotel like free internet, plenty of TV channels and a nice turn down service that replenishes towels without being asked.
The two things that were funny is that the bathrobe (with slippers) is not built for big boys like me, and I did not spot a clock in the room.
I like the bathroom, but I hope the floor is well sealed, as the flappy glass shower screen is not tall enough to avoid splash over, incidentally onto the toilet roll holder.
I have always said that interior designers should be sentenced to 30 days in their creations before being able to sell them to anyone, this is a perfect case.

The hotel itself is gorgeous. The rooms are spacious and well equipped for everything you would need for a short stay. It really was very luxurious in terms of décor and style.
Unfortunately though, this gorgeous, luxurious hotel was severely let down by the service. I can’t fault the staff in terms of manners but I found it very frustrating whenever I asked for something and faced a blank expression. They lacked energy or any sense of urgency and we had to wait long periods of time for pretty much everything during our stay from checking in, to room service to food in the bar. One of our party got stuck in one of the lifts and even waited 40 minutes to be rescued!!!
Not the level of service you would expect from a hotel that boasts on its website as being a ‘haven of understated and contemporary luxury that turns even the briefest of stays into a genuine pleasure’.

Great food. Chilled surroundings. Great location. An oasis. Free wifi. Slow service.

This is a very comfortable place to stay in central london. An excellent welcome and very well appointed.

5 étoiles pour un 4 étoiles !
L’hôtel Marylebone (qui fait partie de la Doyle Collection) est situé dans le quartier du même nom, juste au nord d’Oxford Street, à la fois résidentiel et très calme. Dans une environnement de très belles maisons londoniennes, l’hôtel occupe le seul immeuble moderne à la ronde, sans charme particulier (mais bon, une fois dans l’hôtel, ce sont les autres qui «profitent» de la vue, pas nous…).
La déco intérieure est très réussie, contemporaine, douce mais avec de la personnalité. J’aime en particulier le pilier central dans le hall :-)
La déco des chambres est plus neutre. Ma chambre est petite mais je suis arrivé très tard à l’hôtel donc c’était couru d’avance. Internet est gratuit partout, les produits de toilette sont agréable, l’équipement de la chambre très complet. Seul reproche: du linge de toilette un peu rêche…
Le personnel est extrêmement prévenant et vraiment sympathique, avec des petites touches personnelles qui semblent sincères, ce qui devient rare. J’ai eu l’impression de m’adresser à de vrais individus, avec leur personnalité propre, plutôt qu’à des robots récitant un discours bien appris, et c’est très agréable !
Et surtout, l’hôtel dispose d’un club de gym, OK, mais aussi… d’un spa et surtout d’une piscine !!! Qui sont en travaux actuellement (non !!!) mais en attendant, l’hôtel vous offre gratuitement accès à une autre piscine toute proche.
C’est sûr, je reviendrai !!!

On my last 2 trips to London I stayed here. I really like the boutique feel of this hotel. Its very charming yet swanky and very comfortable. The standard «deluxe» rooms are on the small side but its just enough space for 1 or 2 and nicely appointed, very clean contemporary lines. The bed linens are just right and the bathrooms are nicely designed, loved the materials used and best of all it felt clean. The price is very competitive. One thing I have to say, the hallways were a bit claustrophobic and creepy if you have a room at the very end of the hall you need to get to in the dead of night. Try to get a room fairly close to the elevator.
The colors throughout the hotel are very nice and rich. It really gives you the feeling of luxury but yet still maintains that boutiquey charming feel. The common areas are very nicely decorated and definitely have that romantic feel. There are scented candles everywhere! While most will find this wonderful, it was just a bit much for me.
Hotel stay came with breakfast. I enjoyed the offerings: deli meats, bacon!!!, baked goods, muesli, yogurt smoothies, cheeses, wonderful fruit selections and so much more. I even got very tasty soy lattes… thats right soy! They even made one for me to «take away». Make sure you indicate take away, they will not understand the funny american term «to go».
The location is perfect, its nestled in a wonderful charming neighborhood but very close to great shopping (Regent Street) and wonderful sidewalk restaurants (off of Wigmore). I felt like everything was walking distance or you had Oxford Circus nearby to take the underground.
I did not get to use their business conference center as it was closed the evening I needed it (due to a big meeting they had set up for the next day) and unfortunately there were 6 of us that needed to prepare for a big presentation for the next morning. With quite a bit of discussion we were given what I would call the «romantic sports» room. It had very dim lighting and was lavishly appointed in rich red décor but had a huge big screen tv. So there we were the 6 of us pulling our velvet chairs together and scooting all the lighting we could find so we can work on our laptops. I found this a bother so would not recommend this hotel for group business needs.
I still enjoyed my stay overall for both occasions, location was great, price was right, rooms were charming and nicely appointed, breakfast was good and staff mostly courteous so would recommend for those on personal/​romantic get away or single business travel.

Absolute lush!!!
Any hotel that offers a cold towel for when you check in rates highly in my eyes.
Had a great view of the BT tower too
