Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hotel's Favourite
This year I spent my holidays twice at the Shangri-La The Shard Hotel. And I can not wait for my 3rd visit. Just in April, I celebrated my birthday there and enjoyed a weekend. And after I scrolled through numerous hotel pages, I caught myself again and again to look at the booking page of the Shangri-La. And so it came as it had to come: I became a repeat offender and booked 3 nights, 4 days in this legendary hotel. I arrived at the hotel and the wonderful staff outside took care of my luggage. I have to say never did I met such a professional and lovely bunch of people. The staff is very friendly and takes care of everything. The high-speed elevator took me to the 35th floor in just a few seconds. As soon as the doors opened, the view of the overwhelming glass front was released, which literally takes your breath away and gives you a superior view of the city. Already here it is difficult to avert one's gaze. Only the view from your own room surpasses everything. I booked a Premier City View Room with a Bathroom with a View. The Views from the room and especially from the tub is A M A Z I N G. I loved the heights and the views. St. Pauls Cathedral, the London Eye in perfect view. And once it got dark, the london lights pulled you into their charms. And that's the reason for being sleepless in the clouds. The views were the reason why I could not sleep (on my first night) I always thought I could miss something. I LOVED IT!!!!!!! The bed was delightfully firm and the pillows very dense and sturdy, with just enough fluff. If I could design my own bed and pillows, I would want the Shangri-la. The marble-clad bathroom consists of a shower and a bathtub. The floor warms your feet, a TV screen in the mirrored area allows you to watch the news while brushing your teeth (for me it's always Frasier on Channel 4 ;-)), and the high-tech toilet heats up your bum. :-) The only thing which bothered me a bit was that my room key had to be reissued three times cause the key stopped working. The entire staff was accommodating and friendly. The porters downstairs made me feel very welcome, and whenever I left for or came from my daily London adventure, they made me feel welcome. It was like coming home to friends. The only thing I have to do now is deciding when I will be back at the Shangri-La in 2023. See you soon.

Two very dear friends of mine were staying here over the weekend and I called up to order a gift to be left in their room for when they arrive. Even after a slight hiccup, Tyrone went above and beyond for me and my visiting friends; making their stay extra special and made them feel very welcome. Tyrone was at the end of a phone/email to me to ensure everything requested had been done and that he was available should we need any more assistance…I wasn’t even the guest and felt very looked after and I know my friends were blown away by the gestures, kindness and attentiveness by Tyrone and the hotel. Thank you for making their weekend very special…I hope to come myself one day! Thank you once again Tyrone :)

We had a great time at the Festive Afternoon Tea at TĪNG Shangri-la this November. Dining in the clouds on the 35th floor, or taking in the expansive view of London’s iconic skyline (when the weather permits) is an experience we will not forget in a hurry. The quality and freshness of seasonal ingredients and flavours made the food items really stand out. The task of selecting from their extensive menu of signature teas was quite the adventure, but one we enjoyed thoroughly. The Green Gunpowder tea was a favourite. The genuine care and hospitality of the TĪNG Restaurant staff made our afternoon tea a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Special shout out to Jing who looked after us. It's the most wonderful time of the year, as the famous Christmas song goes. This afternoon tea experience made our all the more special!
