The room had a water leak and the staff is unfriendly. I wouldn't recommend this place. the pictures are not the same! when I told them this is not what I booked they said year we didn't update our Expedia picture. terrible experience
We stayed 2 nights; sleeping in 2 different rooms on different floors and still heard heating droning on and off waking us up several times each night. You could even hear it droning in the restaurant. Probably just a pump needing fixing and a real shame as the hotel is lovely and only 3 mins walk from the Royal Albert Hall. The bar is cosy and the pre-show meal was speedily served and very nice.
Another good stay, we originally started staying here for the location (very close to the Albert Hall) but now choose this when we come to London
Great friendly service, and the hotel has a lot of character - its not a modern hotel so expect a few quirks and small rooms, but the decor is nice and fitting with the period
Room was hot this time, but we could open a window to get some fresh air.
Check in fine, polite and friendly. Room supposed to be best in the hotel was indeed unique, but the additional bed was made up and the room was cold. Food in the bar took an ages to arrive, we had to ask where it was, and when it did come it was lukewarm. When we arrived back at the hotel after attending the Christmas carol concert at the Royal Albert Hall, the staff member who we asked if our pre-booked table was ready rather dismissively shrugged his shoulders and said "it might ready"! Not sure they have their priorities right when it comes to hotel guests!! Also, be prepared for a hefty service charge on top of the room rate, robbery and I'm still not sure what it was for or why we even paid it. We'd only ever book here again, if we were short of options
Good location for the royal Albert hall. Stay was let down by house keeping, didn’t service the room at a normal time, turned up at 4:30 pm when we were getting ready to head out. At check out they tried to
Add an additional £25 service charge (advised it’s for the staff) which we didn’t pay as we hadn’t received any.
The suites are stunning and well appointed. Only issue in the room is that it took ten minutes for the hot weather in the shower to come through
We felt the breakfast was ok but expensive
The cocktail bare was excellent as were the staff who go out of their way to help you
The Gore hotel is a lovely, comfortable and classically decorated hotel. Their suites are spacious and luxurious and the staff very attentive. It location is perfect for business or a weekend stay being in wonderful Kensington. Thank you The Gire, will be back.
