Tempted.

But went for Intercontinental. They've got a sauna. Thanks all.

Not too far from where you want.

Who are the Bridges and Tunnels brigade? They sound quite interesting.

People from Essex and Kent - Refers to the concrete bridges and tunnels on the A12, A127, M25, M2 etc.

It's only four star...

I usually recommend the Rathbone to foreign friends.
Not as well known as the big ones, but fulfils all your criteria and great location. Reasonable rates as well.

Highly recommended.

Not as good these days - the rates are reasonable for a reason. I stayed there once and found some dirty underwear behind the bed awning.

Forgot to say. Ask for a room at the back not facing the street.

Athenaeum
Metropolitan
Intercontinental
Crowne Plaza

Which one?

I don't fancy the Ritz. And we're only staying one night, so additional services aren't interesting.

Intercontinental and Crowne Plaza should both be alright. They are more business hotels though so depends on what you are looking for.

Washington Mayfair in Curzon St. Usually have some deals on if you call them direct. Very nice and without the Bridges & Tunnels brigade.

Spread over 5 clean levels, a fantastic crew of staff

And ten filthy ones, for the more discerning customer.

I'm on a budget. But it's a big one, thanks to the CHF/GBP exchange rate.

Can anyone recommend a decent hotel near Piccadilly for me and the missus?

Comfortable, clean, quiet and good service.

Described as London's most central hostel! I bet that will quiet! Still : if you are on a budget it sounds good.

It is described on its own website(!) as

Spread over 5 clean levels, a fantastic crew of staff

so that is two of the requested criteria met at least!
