I took my two daughters to London for 4 days and decided to try the Goring based on a recommendation from our travel agent. I normally stay at the Langham or the Mandarin when I travel on business, two hotels I enjoy. But I wanted something special for my daughters and special the Goring is! The staff is incredible -...

My wife and I have just returned from The Goring after celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary. What makes this hotel unique is the ability to create memories for each guest. From the rubber ducks for your bath to the George Martinis in the bar, it was a perfect. We want to thank the entire Goring staff for the experience! More

As part of an anniversary we stayed at the Goring as a special treat. However the hotel did not live up to our expectations. The room was small (although to be fair most London rooms seem to be on the small side) but freshly decorated/refurbished evidenced by the smell of fresh paint. There was no safe in the room despite... More
