The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, they received a parcel for me before my arrival and set everything up perfectly. I'm sure my room was an upgrade from what I booked and the design was stunning, the slippers are super comfy and the bathroom was clean and lovely. With a few upgrades and attention to wear and tear this could easily be a 5 star. I felt like the Queen of Sheba with every arrival and departure. I would revisit in a heartbeat to discover more of their comfy areas and offerings.

The Christmas decorations at the Savoy were something from a fairy tale or a movie! The staff were some of the best we've ever experienced in any 5-star hotel - they consistently went above and beyond when we had the slightest wish. The whole experience was one of pure luxury, yet it was also relaxing. There wasn't an atmosphere of arrogance or privilege as one might fear in such hotels, and yet at the same time, the legend of the Savoy was felt everywhere. We appreciated being able to order a little Christmas tree for our room, as we spent Christmas Eve and Day there, and there were little chocolate-y surprises for us in our room, which made it extra special. We had booked at stay where breakfast was included, and it was so nice to just indulge in the generous selection every morning. It is no exaggeration that we consistently ate too much, as it was all of amazing quality. We had also booked a table for afternoon tea, which was likewise lovely, and we had booked at table at the American Bar, another popular destination for guests and outsiders as well, so booking is recommended. These all made the experience even better. The location is perfect for walking to all the sights of central London, as the hotel is situated between the Thames and Covent Garden, only a five-minute walk from either, and about a 15-minute walk from Trafalgar Square. This meant you didn't have to constantly take the Underground to go to places. We also walked to the Southside over the nearby Waterloo Bridge, from where we could see the London Eye and Big Ben, and we walked to St. Paul's Cathedral in the other direction.

The location, facilities and cleanliness are all perfect. The friendliness and personality of the staff made our vacation the best. Thanks to the staff, we had a super comfotable experience. After checking out, the staff asked us, "Are you still going out until your flight? Shall I keep your luggage?" After coming back to hotel, they asked us, "Do you want to use the bathroom?" I was impressed that everything was perfect. We found the best accommodation in London.

Everything. Location was perfect, right on Leicester square, a breezy 5 mins walk to Soho & Chinatown & 10 mins stroll to Covent garden. Room is spacious & it has a huge shower with 3 shower heads including a lower one built for children usage (I think). Brilliant hot water pressure which was welcoming after a long trip Staff are super friendly & approachable. Room was quickly cleaned when I was out for lunch. Breakfast is amazing. I love it that breakfast has a great selection of tropical fruits including the yummy mangoes.

British Museum

As Great Britain’s Empire expanded, so did its cache of material treasures – many of which are on display in this world-class museum. Among its eight million exhibits, you'll find the stunning Elgin Marbles from Greece, the Benin Bronzes and the legendary Rosetta Stone. The Reading Room stands at its heart and is spectacular in size and scope.

    This is a fabulous museum, and takes more than a day to see.

    This is a fabulous museum, and takes more than a day to see. We paid for an early tour, which was nice, but perhaps unnecessary. It was a fairly crowded Saturday in September, but it's so big viewers are able to spread out. Not sure what it would be like in the summer. I would love to go back and allow for 3 shorter days. We were exhausted after 8 hour.

    Get a guided tour.

    Get a guided tour. I normally like to explore places under my own steam. However I have missed so much in this incredible museum before my American Cousin persuaded me to join her on a tour! Also sometimes retired professors do free mini tours of their chosen subject. I enjoyed a fascinating tour of the Elgin/Parthanon marbles

    We were overwhelmed by the number of noisy visitors first thing in the morning. It was not a warm day but it was very stuffy and there was no air flow through a lot of the galleries. The information tags on some of the exhibits were poorly placed and very difficult to read unless you were right up close.

    Pre-book a ticket or go on a late opening evening ( The queues can be very long). The Egyptian /Assyrian statues and monuments are spectacular ,asare the controversial Elgin marbles. For intrinsic British exhibits, Roman Britain is fascinating. The reading room is hosting an exhibition at the moment. A very interesting space set in The Great Court. Top tip _ don't try to see everything in one visit. Plan and Prioritize!! Top Tip:

    This hotel's location is a major bonus close to London Euston station, the University of London, the British Museum and the British Medical Association. Check in and out was swift and efficient with some very pleasant staff. The room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom really quite smart with a good shower but the shower water did spill out into the bathroom floor quite a bit. I didn't have high hopes for breakfast but the hot selection was genuinely nice and the hash browns were crisp and tasty.
