10/10 Exceptional

The Tudor suite was an amazing step into the Victorian era but with today’s modern additions. If so can afford to book this suite again I will. The staff were incredibly helpful and courteous. Thank you to all the staff. The bar is joined to the hotel but feels more like a bar than a hotel bar, again brilliant and open after the Concert at the Albert Hall. The breakfast gets a 10/10 and we have stayed in quite a few hotels over the years. Yes you pay for it at the Gore but it is worth it to step back into just a wonderful hotel and staff. Thank you again

This is a fantastic hotel. From the moment I entered it the front desk team were helpful and took my bags to my room. The restaurant staff were able to answer my questions including verifying none of the meat is halal. The room service I ordered was great and the room was tidy with plenty of surprise treats (chocolates and a letter!). It's in a great location and I would definitely stay here again.
