The Gore Hotel

The hotel was clean and comfortable with a fabulous breakfast served with a excellent range of food. The only disappointment was that the bathroom taps and shower were in need of replacement aa handles fell off and the shower was difficult to adjust.

We recently stayed at "The Gore" for five nights and had a wonderful experience. The hotel’s historic charm and character make it stand out from the usual modern chains. Our room was comfortable and well-maintained throughout our stay. It's very quiet close to the Hyde Park. A special mention goes to the staff and service at the breakfast—it was high quality and a great start to each day. The location is perfect for exploring South Kensington and Hyde Park. Highly recommended!

I had a great stay and felt the Gore provided an excellent experience for the money. If like me you’re attending the Royal Albert Hall, the location could hardly be more convenient. The hotel has 50 rooms spread across 2 handsome townhouses, but it feels smaller and more personal than that. Established in the Victorian period, it has character, soul, and a lingering air of historic grandeur….. all wood panelling, plush drapes and classic artworks. Being a property of age, there are areas of wear and tear, and the elevator is straight out of the ark (though I love such quirks). By and large, it is beautifully kept, and opulent in places. As a solo traveller, I opted for a standard room and was very happy with it - decor was tasteful, the beautifully carved antique bed very comfortable, and the room peaceful. Tea/coffee making is provided, as well as proper, fresh milk. If you fancy something fancier than a standard room, there are suites with glorious names, like the ‘Miss Fanny Suite’ and the ‘Lady Blessington’. Staff were friendly and efficient across departments, smartly clad in black suits. I didn’t dine in-house, other than grabbing a quick coffee, but the hotel does boast a well regarded restaurant. I loved the glitzy bar, which was once the stomping ground of icons such as the Rolling Stone. If you’re seeking facilities such as a gym and spa, the hotel probably isn't for you, but for a charming, quintessentially English stay, in a good location, at great value - the Gore is an absolute winner.

A very beautiful, quaint, high-quality hotel from bedding to window treatments to the bathroom decoration. We wanted to ship the mattress home because we did not want to get out of bed in the morning with how comfortable and cozy we were. We were greeted by a very cordial, well informed, kind, and with a great smile front desk person. Her name is Beatrice. The breakfast was excellent and our server Anu from Nepal did a great job. She was kind and also had a great smile. We come to London often and this will be our new destination hotel as it is convenient to lots of things we like to do.

We stayed here last year as well as this year because of its proximity to the Royal Albert Hall. The hotel bar is a fab, buzzing little bar with great atmosphere and delicious cocktails. Our room was beautiful and spacious for a central London hotel. Our breakfast was superb, great choice and perfectly cooked. However, what really sets this hotel apart from most others is the quality of their staff. From the moment we checked in with Mara, we were made to feel special and welcome. The manager of the bar was hugely attentive and kind (no mean feat on a busy Saturday night!) When we came down to breakfast, we were treated like royalty and had a special little surprise for my birthday! All throughout our stay, the staff could not have e been more friendly or attentive! Would highly recommend and we will be back.
