Top Notch Service, Comfortable Room and Excellent Breakfast
I was fortunate to spend 4 nights at The Berkley with my husband in September. I would highly recommend this hotel. Loved the room - comfortable king bed and chairs,, looking recently renovated, plenty of light for reading and a large newly renovated marble bathroom, with large tub, separate walk in shower and separate enclosure toilet.. All spotlessly clean and high end amenities. Chaise at the end of the bed for putting feet up at the end of the day.
Check in was smooth. from the minute of getting out of the cab. Luggage was whisked away and there was no wait for completeing the business side of checking in. The woman who checked us in escorted us straight to the room and made sure we liked everything , offering us tea as she left. WIthin 5 minutes, tea, fruit and cookies had arrived, much appreciated after a long flight. After the snack a quick nap was in order - drapes block out all daylight and the hotel is very quiet - so no problem there!
Conceirge recommended a wonderful French restaurant in the area one night, and a small pub just around hte corner form the hotel. It was located just off a main street, on a lane, so the conceirge, rather than have us get lost, walked us around the corner to just a stone throw from the pub.
So easy to get around from this location. Steps from the Hyde Park Corner Underground station. A few minutes walk from Knightsbridge shopping. And a pleasant walking distance to the Victoria and Albert museum. I recommend grabbing take out sandwiches, cheese, fruit and wine from Harridges and walking across the street enjoy a picnic in Hyde Park.
Breakfast was high priced but as it was buffet style, you could eat so much, lunch could be a lighter meal. Service was impeccable. Don't want regular coffee - just ask for a latte or cappacino. I ordered the buffet with an egg - perfectly cooked each day (except one, where they took it back immediately and redid), enjoyed fresh friut and very good yogurt. There were cereals, muesli, cheese, cold cuts, sweet buns; if you didn't see what you wanted you ask, adn they get it.
I'll be back!
Overpriced & Overhyped
We stayed for one night in Sept for our Wedding Anniversary. We had managed to get a “deal” through Amex so the room cost £340.
We booked a deluxe king room which on the website looks reasonably modern. On checking in we were given a room on the 7th floor overlooking the church which they appear to have tried to upgrade by sloshing some paint about. The lamps were 1980’s mis-matched, there were white painted (chipped) coffee / side tables and the bathroom may have been marble but again I suspect it was installed in 1980. Even the sofa should have been replaced years ago – all in all it was poor. Because we were only staying one night my husband decided he couldn’t be bothered to have to complain but we at least asked them to replace the worn / crunchy towels with some soft ones – this was done. All in all I thought the room was tired, old and in serious need of a revamp – it was very disappointing and certainly not representative of anything pictured on the website. What is also poor is that when I booked they asked copious questions as to why we were staying and what our preferences were and yet when we checked in the guy on reception asked why we were staying and whether we needed a restaurant reservation. We had in fact booked the Chefs table in Marcus Wareing but again they seemed to have no knowledge of this.
Breakfast was terrible – cold food which we had to return. A poached egg on an English muffin was cooked to the point of hardness and presented on a barely toasted wet soggy muffin – can’t they even be bothered to remove the excess water before they put it on the muffin. It was the worst hotel breakfast I have ever had.
What should have been an extremely special night was somewhat ruined by the hotel experience although the dinner was excellent.
Wonderful Stay
I have stayed at many hotels in London and I must say this is one of my favorites. The service was great and very personal and the facilities excellent. My only complaint from the entire experience would be that the hotel is in need of a bit of a refurb. Not anything drastic, but I noticed a few elements of the hotel, notably in the bathroom, seemed to be a little dated and need of a touch-up.
Otherwise, I could not recommend a better place to stay in the city.
Must see: pool on the penthouse level!
Expensive, erratic service but enjoyable stay!
We visited for a romantic anniversary treat. Check-in was prompt and efficient with complimetary soft drink. Our room on the 7th floor overlooking the church was 'gentlemans club' style - maybe a bit 'tired' but cosy and comfortable. Our package included champagne which was there on arrival along with chocolates and fruit and a card from the staff. The balcony/terrace (which could do with a bit of an update/makeover) had a view of the London Eye, Battersea Power Station and a beautifully night-lit Harrods. The small bathroom was well appointed with delicious smelling Asprey products and plenty of fluffy towels. Room service didn't arrive on one occasion but a reminder phonecall resulted in profuse apologies and the arrival of requested tea & biscuits within minutes. Would like to have listened to some music in our room but didn't think the £2 charge for an hour was acceptable given the cost of the room! The Boxwood Cafe was fabulous and despite them having no record of our booking, we were quickly seated and enjoyed a fantastic meal. The Blue Bar was wonderful - great atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. Cocktails were expensive but good and the complimentary nibbles were very tasty. Slight downside is that our requested newspapers weren't delivered to our room but there were plenty of copies around the hotel to read. Waiting staff at breakfast very efficient and friendly and quality of food was excellent. Door staff also very polite and welcoming. Would definitely stay again!
An Englishman in a Foreign Land
Twenty years ago standards here were immaculate and the staff "old school" english with the Savoy Hotel Group's General Manger resident.
To-day the entire internal staff are foreign, whose grasp of english is only 95 per cent native, and who are on their feet constantly as all sorts and shapes pour out of the creaking lifts.
A leading "roadshow" hotel - to provide funding for its Irish owner, Duke's and The Goring are what the Berkeley used to be. Best avoided.
