The hype
Guests are blown away by the service and the lobby's 'wow' factor, but many feel the standard rooms need a refresh.
The Savoy
$800-1200+/ gece
Şu durumda rezervasyon yapın You want the absolute quintessential 'London Grand Dame' experience and don't mind paying a premium for history.
İnsanlar Neden Seviyorlar
- The legendary American Bar (oldest cocktail bar in London)
- River Thames views that Monet actually painted
- Service that feels like a well-oiled royal machine
Hızlı Özet: It's a bucket-list legend that mostly lives up to the hype, provided you skip the entry-level rooms and ignore the £45 breakfast price tag.
@vivis.voyage tarafından değerlendirildi: I felt like British royalty staying here. The historic Red Lift is such a cool detail, and my suite was massive. Honestly, soaking in the tub with that window view was the highlight of my trip. Don't skip a martini at the bar downstairs!

Reality check
You're paying for the lobby, the location, and the name—unless you book a River View room, the actual bedroom can feel underwhelmingly 'classic' (read: old).
- You love Art Deco glamour and dressing up for dinner
- You want to be steps from Covent Garden and the West End theatres
- You appreciate old-school, formal service (doormen in top hats)
Temizlik & Bakım
8.5
- Housekeeping: Impeccable daily service with turndown. They don't miss a beat on tidying.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally spotless, but older bathrooms show age in the grout and tile wear.
- Maintenance: Some reports of 'tired' furniture and noisy radiators in non-renovated rooms.
- Linens & towels: Thick, fluffy, and high thread count. No complaints here.
- Odors & scents: The lobby smells of the signature Savoy scent; rooms are fresh, no mustiness.

“I would appreciate a room in the River Wing if possible, ideally away from the service elevators. If a River View isn't available, a high-floor room facing the courtyard is preferred over a lower floor.”

İçeri Sakıları

You can buy the famous Savoy mattress, but it will cost you thousands.
Gitmeden önce bilmeniz gereken 5 şey
💡The 'discretionary' 5% service charge on the room rate catches many guests by surprise.
💡Some 'Courtyard View' rooms actually just face a brick wall or HVAC units.
💡The pool area, while beautiful, can get surprisingly noisy when kids are present due to the acoustics.
💡You might spot the hotel cat, Kaspar (a statue), used to round out dinner parties of 13 to 14.
💡The 'Green Lifts' are the original ones and are tiny—claustrophobics beware.
