A mixed bag.

The staff were excellent, however I wasn’t aware that there would be a £25 per night accommodation service charge until I checked in. I’ve never heard of this in any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Also a service charge of £10 on the ‘free’ breakfast. The bed was uncomfortable and the bathroom plumbing questionable. The restaurant was very good and location was excellent for the Royal Albert Hall.

Classic hotel with charm, underutilised potential. Not generous with advertised ‘VIP’ benefits. Hotel was not at all full. No upgrades. Have to ask for other perks. Serious price drops 48hours before date. Some great staff members. With managed expectations we would stay there again.

This was a wonderful place to stay. It was just a short walk to the train station or many wonderful restaurants. The bed was confortable and the staff was helpful and very friendly. Even the house Keeping staff was spot on. The little extra things they did to make our stay wonderful was much appreciated. We loved the little pub downstairs too!

Booked a junior suite which was described as having an extra long bed; I am 5ft 6 and my feet were touching the end. Room was small and very old fashioned; particularly the throne style toilet. Just not to my taste. Also very hot and could not get food at the hotel so ended up having to order a takeaway.

Too expensive for no heat

It was. Mediocre, the hotel was gorgeous. It was beautiful and the staff were lovely however it was all ruined with our room. We were upgraded to a delux double which was nice. However the heater didnt work and the aircon unit we had built into the window which said it had a heat setting also didnt work so we were absolutely freezing cold the entire time. We paid an extortionate amount of money to freeze and on top of that pay an extra accomidation fee when we left? We didnt use any of their extra accommodations. Only the room and it was barely livable due to how cold it was

Wonderful stay, friendly welcome, great location

A friendly welcome and some lovely surprises for my husband’s 50th, The team were all lovely and couldn’t have done anymore to make our stay better. The room was fabulous as was the breakfast. Service fantastic and with a smile. Will definitely stay again and would highly recommend. Loved the period quintessentially English hotel. The location was great, just a short walk from natural history museum in Kensington and 10 minute walk from South Kensington tube station.

When staying in Kensington, I always try and stay at The Gore. It’s a charming and historic hotel situated almost next door to The Royal Albert Hall. The V&A and Natural History Museum are a short walk away, as is Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. South Kensington and Gloucester Road tube stations are around half a mile away and bus routes are plentiful. The staff at the hotel are friendly, highly professional and give great service. Highly recommended.
