Met here for a quiet drink after work. It is quiet, private and great for a meeting or a social encounter. Bar has a subdued atmosphere and is perfect balance to the hustle and bustle outside in the city. Was able to reserve a table which was great and the food we ordered was very good. Will be back.

Great find which is off the main road but still close to all the attractions including Buckingham Palace. Great for Green Park underground station. Beautiful bedroom, complete with its own rubber duck in the bathroom. Lovely, welcoming staff. Bar is very pricey, but atmosphere is worth at least one drink during your stay. Would recommend.

Great location, very central to everything. Amazing staff, from restaurant to check in to housekeeping and especially the concierge team, they do miracles. The staff anticipate your needs, if you even look lost or confused, they approach you. Lovely rooms, a quiet location despite being so central.

WOW! This is my home away from home in London. Very attentive staff who somehow know your name and remember it as soon as you check in. Their bar is best in London! Rooms have beds with great mattresses and linens are highest quality. If hotels could be rated higher than 5 star, this would be 8!

My husband and I recently stayed at the Stafford for my birthday. On arrival we we informed we had been upgraded to a carriage room.

On booking i had requested... More

Having eaten in the restaurant a few times we were hoping the rooms would match the excellent service and standard we had experienced so far - we were far from disappointed. The rooms were beautiful, well appointed and so comfortable it was a real treat. Everywhere was spotlessly... More

Our first time at this hotel, great location, beautiful building,lovely decoration very good service, good staff, we loved the atmosphere of the American bar. Rooms were rather disappointing , quite small for the price. Bathroom poor,I think the bath was quite narrow,standing in the bath for a shower, you have a curtain very tight on one side of you with... More

My wife and I stayed in the hotel, and loved everything about it. The property is three regency houses, just aroudn the corner from St James Palace, in the heart of Mayfair, and the discreet entrance let's you know right away that this is NOT a property for those who want people to know they have "arrived." It is quiet,... More

In simple terms this hotel is too good (and traditionally too exclusive) to be run by Kempinski and the ill-effects of being part of a chain are showing through two years after it ceased to be managed independently. The Goring is the benchmark for hotels of this ilk and it remains so; The Goring by Goring has no competition from... More
