The Goring

Shannon Tabor in the last week

We stayed at the Goring Hotel this June and we absolutley loved it. We felt as though we were staying at someone's beautiful home . The design and decor are truly one of a kind. Be sure to check out the beautiful wallpapers, dishes and flowers of this beautiful hotel. In particular, Richard took great care of us and greeted us night and day when we came in . The bar is a beautiful blend of cozy and charming but had a feel of an amazing cocktail bar. Please stop there and have a drink. The breakfast was delicious. The location is central and you can walk to two theatres or Buckingham place and Westminister Abbey. The staff moved our little sheep all around every night. My only advice is to book a king bedroom or upgrade to a larger space. I was in room 30 and it was small ( as I expect all rooms in Europe to be) but would have upgraded had I known. ( my fault). Enjoy tea or sit in the garden if you have the time. I will be back to this hotel again. Thank you Goring for an incredible experience

Upon arrival whilst checking in we were bullied by the doorman to empty our car immediately, this was a 3 way conversation with reception, concierge and receptionist. Having travelled from central france we were very tired and found this completely unnecessary. We were advised that the traffic wardens were very strict. So it was imperative that we moved our car quickly. However we were constantly interrupted by the doorman whilst checking in, it was awful. Not the best start to our stay. The room was adequate, and very clean, the champagne, fruit and welcome cards were such a nice touch. The service was average with an undertone of stress by some of the staff. It was disappointing to hear staff arguing among themselves about hotel guests. We can do without that to be honest, if staff have a problem please do not talk about it where other guests can hear. Mr Baptiste was a lovely host and it was our pleasure to meet him. Overall the staff were very kind and friendly. A note caution please be aware of over charging, we stayed 2 nights, and were charged for 4 nights parking. There is no audit trail for meals and drinks just a global sum, so we have no idea what we we're charged for or was it even correct we have no idea. The predetermined room rate service charge seems to produce a staff conflict on the issue of tipping this needs to be resolved it has nothing to do with guests who are staying at the hotel. Overall nice hotel that quite clearly has staffing problems. It's overpriced for what is offered. Would we stay there again? Probably not we would give the completion ago.

What an experience! The hotel is sublime and the personal, let unobtrusive service is the among the best we’ve had at luxury hotels in London. The Goring is a very special place and has an incredible team. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!
