"We absolutely love this hotel. It's in a great location close to Buckingham Palace but out of the throng of people on a side street. The staff is very professional & welcoming. They were so kind to upgrade us & fill the room with special treats to celebrate my birthday. The rooms are classy & beautiful & even though our room was on the front of the hotel by the street....it was quiet. I had read about air conditioning not being great in London but the air con was perfect at the Goring. We ate breakfast in their hotel both mornings & the service & food were terrific. This is a family owned hotel & they go above & beyond to make you feel welcome & special. The Goring is our favorite hotel in London! Thank you Goring staff we will be back!"

"This was my third time staying at the Goring, it is my favorite hotel in London and it is very high on my list globally as well. There is a homey peacefulness to it that is created by the building’s location on a tranquil pretty side street, the gorgeous decor and sumptuous furnishings, and of course the magical private garden, where one very early morning I was joined by a lovely fox and beautiful magpies for coffee. All is made even more exceptional and fun by the Goring’s wonderful team. It is impossible not to be charmed by this very special place. Having stayed here twice before solo and absolutely loved it, I wanted to bring my sister along this time. She is in the hospitality industry and also very much appreciated the atmosphere, service, and our supremely comfortable room. A few things to note. As mentioned this was my third multi-night stay here in a little over three years. In stays past I have felt very welcomed by a tour of the hotel, pretty flowers and thoughtful notes on the desk in my room, and even arrived the second time to a beautiful selection of complimentary sweets. My business felt valued, and this would ensure my return for future stays, even inspiring me to bring my family here. This time, however, there was nothing at all to welcome my sister and me to the room (not even a note), and no acknowledgement whatsoever that it was my third time returning to the hotel. No “welcome back” etc. I’m by no means a super regular, however, I had hoped to be an even more frequent guest at the Goring in the future. Now I will just say that it feels nice when your repeat business and loyalty is acknowledged, and it doesn’t when it is not. Secondly, we chose to have breakfast in the restaurant on our last morning, and it was very inconsistent. It took more than 30 minutes to deliver our eggs, and when they came one dish was extremely hot and one was freezing cold. Clearly they’d forgotten one and the other sat there the entire time. Our water was also never refilled and no one asked how our experience was. Upon check out, the front desk staff presented me with the bill and asked nothing of my stay. I still love the Goring and hope to return. I just wanted to share this feedback given their dedication to delivering excellent service, which I still believe they do, for the most part."

"The last few months-has being very tough for my girlfriends mother and we arranged to bring to the Goring for birthday. I could not speak higher of the staff at the Goring Hotel from the minute we arrived-being very helpful with wheelchair ramp and also table service in the garden. Our server-Sofiia-was excellent-very helpful and to round off a brilliant day-the Goring gave a birthday present to my girlfriend’s mother. Overall, I could not speak higher of the Goring Hotel and staff-thank you for making Heidi’s birthday a brilliant day. Thank you. Keith Lally"

"We celebrated my wife’s birthday at the Goring and had a delightful lunch. The food was excellent especially the roast beef which was perfectly cooked to medium rare, the Orkney scallop dish and the halibut which my wife very much enjoyed. I was a little surprised no French mustard was available; thus, my only negative was very minor. The hotel and dining room exude calm and tranquillity complimented by a very efficient staff. Every member of staff was friendly and professional with a special mention to Fred in the restaurant who is charming. I’m sure we’ll return."

"I’ve just returned home from a four-night stay at The Goring in one of their beautiful Belgravia suites. The excellent service began months before my stay while I was corresponding with the concierge team, and it really did feel as though nothing would be too much trouble to ask. As I was travelling solo, I did feel a little nervous when I first arrived, but I very quickly relaxed. The atmosphere of the hotel is one of the reasons why I chose to stay here, having previously visited for afternoon tea and drinks in the bar. This time, however, I was able to enjoy spending time in the garden, which I hadn’t had the opportunity to do on previous visits. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which was another highlight of my stay. The service provided by the footmen was excellent, especially when I had friends and family visiting during my stay. One touch I particularly liked was returning to my room to find soft classical music playing. This provided a wonderful, relaxing atmosphere and quickly became one of the favourite parts of my day. In fact, it’s something I think I’ll be doing at home before going to sleep. I will definitely be returning to The Goring again, hopefully in the near future."
