The Gore London - Starhotels Collezione

Beautifully appointed hotel and bedroom with classic furniture. Super clean and comfortable beds and soundproofed rooms. Very attentive and personable staff. Separate dining room for breakfast lunch dinner. Great breakfast. Separate bar area. Nice library for relaxing times. Very welcoming of our small dog. Super safe area..Indeed south kensington is very pleasant with kensington park 2 min away, the Victoria and Albert museum and Royal Albert hall for concerts. This is our second stay in this hotel and we will make it our home away from home in London. Cannot wait to be back.

The hotel was exceptional, rooms were amazing, super comfy beds. Breakfast was great and our 3 nights there was a lovely way to end our UK holiday. Perfectly located to access all the sights.

Vintage

A beautiful, decadent hotel with a rich history and rock n roll pedigree, if you love the rolling stones, you're in for a treat!

Perfectly located a stones throw from the Albert Hall for concert/event attendees and the natural history and science museums are a short walk away too.

I stayed in the Queen Elizabetg Suite which was immaculately presented and luxurious.

Very much enjoyed my stay, would recommend to all!

Stayed at The Gore for one night due to its convenient location for a concert at Royal Albert Hall. It was easy to locate using Google Maps. We were upgraded from a cosy double to a superior double room on arrival. The gentleman at the front desk offered to show us to the room (which was not required, and so we were shown to the lift instead) and provided information on the complimentary items (milk, tea and coffee). Breakfast was offered at a discounted rate, although we did not use this.

The hotel has a traditional boutique style, with artwork, framed mirrors throughout the hallways and tapestries along the staircase. The bed and bedding were comfortable, with lighting turned on before our stay. As the building is older, the flooring throughout the building and room was creaky and slightly uneven, which we figured would be the case but is worth noting for future guests. Lovely, thick dressing gowns in the bathroom, slippers with padding and plenty of towels provided. A few toiletries by Penhaligons.

We were aware that a 5% service charge would be applicable upon payout, regardless of whether additional services were used, having seen this mentioned in previous reviews. The staff member at check-out clearly explained the charge, confirmed we were happy to pay it and advised that it contributes towards staff and service. For anyone booking through Booking.com with Genius discounts or credits applied, it is worth noting that the 5% service charge is calculated using the overall booking value rather than the reduced amount personally paid after Booking.com contributions.

Older style with some character, not a boring sterile modern hotel.
Great breakfast selection with good food to set you up for the day exploring.

The location is good, especially you are going to Royal Albert Hall, just a few minutes' walk. The hotel is beautiful and staff is helpful. The room is clean and the bed is comfortable.

Great location
Old world charm
Great restaurant

The decor and location for the Royal Albert Hall were both superb.

Stilfullt och ombonat med omtänksam och professionell personal.

The second room was really lovely. I wasn't keen on the first rooms bathroom, so they moved us to the Judy Garland Suite. The rooms, like the hotel, are old world velvet and four posters. Real character and old-world charm. The staff were amazing and genuinely lovely. From Samuel (master mixologist and drinks artist) in the bar to Julian on the desk, breakfast team et al. Also, the very best location if you are attending events at the Royal Albert Hall and around Kensington.
