"I tried to give a 3.5 rating. So we booked afternoon T for a 60th girlfriend’s treat. The hotel is lovely, doormen polite, waiting staff polite and friendly - they seem to glide - the lovely lady ensuring the toilets were immaculate and you felt special, the setting, coordination of colours of the crockery, the cocktails had a punch, the ambience with the music and the history were all lovely. Unfortunately the food was a let down. Thick sandwiches, no cake stand!!!!, OK looking cakes but nothing special - where was the showiness, the amazement, the theatre. We had a change of server during our T and so were only offered 2 cups of T which was a shame and the second one was barely luke warm. I guess I just expected more from such a British institution. Would I go again - yes, but after exploring different places."

"I have been to Claridge's for lunch and afternoon tea many times, for my birthday this year I knew I had to stay. I can safely say the hotel and the staff lived up to my many built-up years of expectation! Upon arrival, the doormen were friendly and helped us quickly with our luggage. Check-in was friendly and efficient. We arrived early and so went to lunch, and soon got a text to say our room (very kindly upgraded to a junior suite) was ready early. Stunning communal areas and absolutely beautiful room. Everything was immaculate. Just as I'd hoped, all the art deco touches were present in the room. Anything we asked for or needed was seen to very quickly. We used the spa, which was amazing and so relaxing. Dinner in the Foyer was great, had the lobster Wellington (had to be done!) The waiting staff were so friendly the next day when they saw us whilst enjoying afternoon tea which is always outstanding, asking how the birthday went and had we enjoyed dinner and our stay. All made us feel special. A rare treat to stay here, and one which I will cherish for a long time!"

"We went to the Claridges for desert and a cocktai, it had beautiful interior, superb workers who were very friendly and happy to seat us, the waiter was very intensive when we required her. Would love to come back and stay here next time!"

"There are hotels, and then there is Claridge’s. Having visited several times a year since 2009, I can say with certainty that the "Claridge’s magic" is not only alive but thriving. We recently returned for a stay to celebrate a special occasion and it was made truly unforgettable by Thomas Kochs and his wonderful team, It was such a pleasure to have him back at the helm; my very first experience at the hotel was under his management sixteen years ago, and his influence on the property’s warmth and excellence is palpable. A heartfelt thank you to the management team for the incredibly generous room upgrade—it made our stay feel like a true celebration. The staff here continue to be the gold standard; they don't just provide service, they anticipate your every need with a level of grace that is rare to find. There is nowhere else in London we would rather be and we can’t wait to return later in the year."

"Thank you to the Claridge Hotel for making our pre-anniversary dinner cocktail at your bar so special while we were not guests of the hotel we had stayed there previously and wanted to have a celebratory cocktail before we went to dinner we were treated as if we were guest of the hotel thank you for such a memorable time. We hope to see you again soon."
