Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Goring is praised for its unique character and traditional yet modern atmosphere, located conveniently close to Buckingham Palace. Guests frequently highlight the excellent dining experiences, particularly the Michelin-starred dinner featuring dishes like the risotto starter and duck. While the hotel is generally exceptional, some guests have noted the absence of a coffee machine or fridge in every room. Many recommend experiencing the memorable afternoon tea in the splendid veranda, especially during events like the Chelsea Flower Show.
