“There is non like it!! It is the best!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

We recently stayed there for 3 nights. My husband and I usually stay at a similarly high end hotel nearby but it was strongly recommended by our agent to try the Corinthia. It Is everything we expect in a top-level hotel in London. The service was wonderful; from housekeeping, technical support with WIFI, food, gym and spa, check-in, porters and very importantly, concierge. The room was spacious (we had a jr suite) and the amenities and features were perfect. My needed to work fro the room and he was very comfortable and the strong and consistently strong wifi made it possible for him to work without any breaks..We are fussy travelers with high needs and expectations and are prepared to pay for it. Our expectations were realized and more. We will return and look forward to it.

“The service...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 23, 2012

The service at the hotel was amazing. The entire staff bent over backwards to ensure that we (2 adults and 2 children) had a fabulous stay. Talk about going the extra mile - they sent the kids robes, slippers, lollipops, juice, cookies and bags of candy. Not to mention arranged a wonderful day at the aquarium for us! Each night after a day of touring, we were thrilled to come back and enjoy our fabulous hotel. One other important note, the rooms almost seemed sound proof as we couldn't hear anything from our neighbors - very rare indeed!

Another huge bonus for the adults - there was no nickel and diming as you often find with hotels. We got charged the nightly rate and not a cent more for any extras - including breakfast (included in our rate), wifi, etc.

This will be my go to place in London for the fabulous service, dining, location and atmosphere. Thank you Corinthia for a fantastic weekend. Can't wait to see you again next week!!!

“Hard days night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2012

I really struggled with the Corinthia. My girlfriend and I had a great meal downstairs in a fairly empty restaurant but nevertheless, the food was delicious. Staff were nice and friendly, very courteous if a little bit aloof but they seemed to mean well. However, when we got to our room and got into bed, I was astounded. The cheap spring mattress they had was super uncomfortable, I barely slept a wink all night. I didnt exactly expect a memory foam mattress but was a cheap mattress topper too much to ask???? If they could sort this out, Id come back but until then, no way

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your comments following your recent stay at Corinthia Hotel London. I am sorry to hear that you and your girlfriend did not like our bed mattress and that it affected the quality of your sleep. Corinthia Hotel London uses one of the best brands available, however we do understand that all our guests have a personal preference when it comes to mattresses and I am only sorry to hear that we learnt of your preference after your stay with us. I do hope that we are able to welcome you back to the Corinthia Hotel London in the future.

Kind regards

“Not up to 5 star standards and FREEZING cold room”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

My recent 4 night stay at Corinthia London was very disappointing and in relation to the prices they charge I expected a LOT more ...I stayed in Room 214 which had nice bathroom but however the bedroom was very standard what you would find in any hotel with 2 tiny closets for luggage and clothes...My biggest complaint is that my room was FREEZING cold and I spoke to Housekeeping on 3 different occasions to try and have AC controls repaired. They brought an Engineer but it was still freezing afterwards . When sitting at table near balcony window there were terrible draughts around the window which is not double glazing . In the end I had to request a heater which was finally rolled in (on 3 wheels 1 broken) after 40 mins and 2 further calls to Housekeeping ...Staff were indifferent and from older reviews I see that this problem of temperature control had occured previously so its not a new issue...also on check out when I checked over my bill an extra £74 had been added to my bill for Mini-bar items which I hadn't consumed and which was removed without question when I pointed it out...One wonders do they add on amounts randomly which people sometimes end up paying for if in a rush checking out...Final word to Management : sort out the glitches they ruin the experience ! Beware anybody visiting if you're allocated Room 214 !!! I would NOT return EVER
The courtyard area below the balcony of my room had lairy drunks screaming till early hours of the morning so POOR sleep quality also

Room Tip: Dont accept Room 214 its very cold

Thank you for your comments following your recent stay with us at Corinthia Hotel London. I would like to extend my sincere apologies for the inconveniences you unfortunately experienced, as a result of a malfunction with the heating system in your room and I can appreciate that this must have been very frustrating.
Our housekeeping and engineering teams were unable to immediately fix the air conditioning unit in your room and in this instance you should have been notified and an alternative room found for you. I am extremely sorry that this was not the case and that your stay was effected as a result of this.
With regards to the extras added on to your bill, this was evidently a mistake, and I was pleased to read that my team immediately removed them from your bill. I would like to assure you that it was a genuine posting error.
I would like to invite you to contact me directly here at the hotel on Tel: +44 (0) 20 7930 8181 as I would be delighted if you would allow us the opportunity to redeem ourselves. I look forward to hearing from you.

With kind regards,
Matthew Dixon

“Very luxorious”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

Booked as a very special treat...and it was. Charming staff, quiet comfortable rooms. Fab location. Check out as flexible as you want. Breakfast was lovely - choices of everything you could possibly want. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Phoned to make the reservation and the chap on the line couldn't have been more charming - chocolate cake in room to celebrate special occasion.
