Yes this is a good hotel,it is not as good as Browns London or Oriental Bangkok,but they want to be! Not so well located as it is off centre being almost on top of Victoria station. Great for Buckingham Palace,but not so many guests receive the Royal call! Staff are attentive,and the door service is excellent. I attended a private... More

Dinner with four friends in the Goring Dining Room. Booked for 7pm but no rush to sit down and plyed with canapes in the lounge. We finally left at 11.15pm, no silly business about rushing or needing the table back. Tip top traditional cuisine and the highlight that they were prepared to make proper custard for us to go with... More

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!
