The Goring - London, United Kingdom 

"Just the best in LONDON!"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
June of 2006 was our 6th visit to the hotel. We have stayed in many of the rooms, find them extremely nice. The staff is great. The restaurant delicious. The Goring is now our London home; we wouldn't stay anywhere else. Yes, it's expensive, but so is all of London. We are now making our plans to return in June 2007.

Complete British experience - can't miss!!!

This is the complete British experience. This hotel has impeccable service from the moment you pull up through check-out. The hotel has a beautiful garden which is certainly very rare in central London. Afternoon tea is a must, beautifully crafted finger sandwiches and cakes served in a charming setting. I highly recommend this hotel, especially for those looking for a real cultural experience.

We first stayed here in 1996, as a prelude to travelling on the Orient Express from Victoria for our silver Wedding. It is ideally placed for Victoria and we were completely charmed by being greeted by name on arrival, by the spacious room and by the wonderfully courteous service. We have stayed here on another 5 occasions since (and used to be on their Christmas Card list). The room has never been as spacious or impressive as visit 1, although the cost remains high, but the charm of the staff is undiminished. We have never dined here but lunch and snacks are expensive. Breakfast (never included when we have stayed) is exemplary but very expensive. If we want to treat ourselves on a visit to London, we think of the Goring first. However, the small rooms we have had on the last couple of visits have dimmed our enthusiasm. I suspect that it is not too difficult to do better if looking for 5* accommodation in London in the 21st Century.
