I recently visited the Savoy hotel with my family to spend an unforgettable afternoon together. It was our first time having afternoon tea and it's been a wonderful experience. The room was festive and adorned so elegantly for the Christmas season. The variety of food and teas is sublime. We enjoyed every single moment, from the food, the selection of sandwiches and pastries, the music entertainment, the service. Mangesh attended our table. He made sure we had all we needed and looked after us with great professionalism. In general everything was tidy and clean, particularly the restrooms. We left our coats at the cloakroom where we met Carlo that so politely took care of our belongings and welcomed us with enthusiasm and politeness. We strongly recommend the Savoy's afternoon tea, it's a never to forget experience.…

From start to finish the most luxurious night in a hotel ever. The Christmas decorations were beautiful, cocktails in the American bar and the history on display was stunning. Every member of staff certainly understood how to make their guests feel special. The afternoon tea in the most beautiful room with piano player tinkling the ivories was memorable. The room was so comfortable, beautiful bed linen and comfortable bed. A night to remember and we will certainly be back. Thank you for such a special memory.

Staying at the Savoy has been on my bucket list forever, especially at Christmas time. I was not disappointed. Absolutely luxurious from beginning to end. Dinner & Drinks with friends has been the best experience. The Service is above and beyond. However Alvaro was Icing in the Cake and went to lengths to ensure our stay was the best! Thankyou

The service at The Savoy is top tier, one of the best. Staff are very attentive and prompt. Upon check-in, given it is a luxury hotel, I would have wished the desk agent would have acknowledged my Gold Level status for my Accor ALL Membership. As usual, everything with the hotel is good. Good service, clean, etc. Because of that, with this hotel class, I focus on the little details. I have also contacted the concierge ahead of my visit to ask if they can do something special for a birthday we are celebrating. Although they emailed saying they will do something, unfortunately, this did not happen. We booked the Deluxe King Room, for three people with a rollaway bed. It is quite tight in space. The view is almost non-existent as we are overlooking the next building through a small window. The bathroom is nice but the shower/tub does not have a full partition. Because of that, when we shower, water goes all over the floor. Be warned, the deluxe king room is quite small for three people. We had breakfast in the Thames Foyer during our stay. Very good service and nice atmosphere, especially during Christmas time. The menu options offer mostly a British breakfast with some American options such as pancakes and waffles. With value for money, although service is unmatched and the hotel in general is beautiful, we may not return to the Savoy given the nightly rate with size of the room we received.…

This is our second visit to this lovely hotel and won’t be the last . Everything is absolutely wonderful and you are well taken care of from the minute you arrive. Sometimes it can be difficult to get a table in the American Bar as they always seem to be fully booked which is not ideal if you are a resident and cannot get a table of a drink after a long day exploring, there just never seems to be anywhere to sit and have a quiet drink at the end of the day . I love this hotel however our room had an adjoining door into the next bedroom ( obviously locked ) but you can hear absolutely everything in the next room and sadly my neighbour kept me away with their snoring for three nights . None of this will put me off from returning as it’s a perfect hotel in a perfect location. …

The hotel and its staff are the most caring anywhere. They can't do enough for you. The beds are so comfy I didn't want to come home. We had a river view suite on the 5th floor and the views were stunning. The Christmas decorations were just superb and the train in the foyer was lovely. It was such a lovely atmosphere, we were happy just to sit in the foyer and watch everyone coming and going. The doormen were extremely helpful, as were all the staff, the managers should be very very proud of them. The food in the Savoy Grill really was outstanding - lobster thermidor and halibut, absolutely beautiful. It was made even more enjoyable by the attention of Thierry and his amazing team. What a character he is, ooh la la. We ended with the most amazing rum baba being flambeed at our table, it was fabulous. A massive thank you to everyone.…

Thank you once again for taking the time to write your review and we look forward to warmly welcoming you back to The Savoy again in the near future. Best regards, Franck X Arnold, Managing Director

Thankyou for another wonderful stay in our favourite hotel. It was my girlfriend's birthday and you made us feel so welcome. The breakfast staff could not have been more accommodating, the food as always was superb. We had dinner in the River restaurant the first night and the Savoy grill the second, and both were equally excellent. Thanks to Tierry for the photo and for being so charming, just like he is on TV. We will be back again next year, thankyou so much.

Fantastic service, beautiful views and an all round excellent hotel. Greeted like superstars and made to feel welcome and special throughout the whole stay. Addtionally the service before hand made this really special as we wanted to book the bar and afternoon tea. After being told it wasn't available, suddenly a booking popped up on my phone! Wow!! Nothing to much trouble for the staff - it was just magical. The Christmas decorations were also a magical bonus!!

The savoy is a tucked away oasis where old world opulence meets the modern world with ease and grace! From the moment you cross the iconic brass sign the staff welcome you with open smiles and effortless ease! The building is everything you could ever imagine and more! It’s like watching a well rehearsed ballet set on a romantic set! The backdrop is flawless and ever present but the savoys real strength lays in the staff! From booking your room to getting in your car to leave it’s their ability to anticipate your needs! People like Anthony who was attentive and always smiling to Lea who is so helpful and kind! From the lovely receptionists to the cleaning staff they made the savoy what it is! If you are ever able to go the best hotel in the uk by a country mile!

Great service from the American Bar on Sunday 26th November after the theatre next door, this is a great place if you want some fantastic cocktails in a truly remarkable place steeped in history. And a big thank you to the doorman who walked onto the Strand to get us a taxi when it was pouring down, thank you Sir, you’re a legend.
