4/10 Disappointing
The first impression at the reception was excellent. Overall, the staff at the reception and in the restaurant were friendly

8/10 Very good
We have stayed before and we really like the homely comfortable atmosphere. Staff helpful and friendly. Our 4th visit. I like the bar area to relax and the beds are very comfortable. The bathroom is great, plenty of space and amenities accessible from bath eg shampoo/ conditioner. Spa pool great as always.
Breakfast organization ok, we did not wait too long and staff helpful. Price good for location and it was last minute. One lift being replaced but I found the stairs.

10/10 Absolutely loved our stay!
Thank you! It really was a wonderful experience. The attention to detail with the decorations and the room upgrade made it feel extra special. Having staff available around the clock was a huge plus, and Rajini's exceptional service truly stood out. Packing breakfast for my return journey was such a thoughtful touch, and I appreciated the variety of options available. Overall, it was a memorable stay, and I would definitely recommend it to others!

2/10 Bad and Disgusting
Bad management. Hotel tries to skim money if they find any chances by any means.
If your room number is too long (120/220/.../620 or more), you have to walk through a riddle everytime.
A stone-aged lift will take a long time to move, therefore, you should keep your time aside for it.
It doesn’t have any swimming pool. Restaurant staffs are really callous and the buffet provides not that much variety of foods.
Room rent is huge considering its services.

7/10 A nice stay with a number of hurdles to contend with
The staff were amazing but hotel is looking tired one lift out of two was out of order so as we were on the 7th floor waiting for the lift was tedious and sometimes do full we couldn’t get in We paid for breakfast and had to wait over 20 minutes with lots of other guests until your number was called, we were sat at a table in a corner that no one was serving at
DavidApr 17, 2025
8/10 Very good
The room was clean and comfortable. Only issue was the shower which was a bit tricky/slippy getting out and in. It was impossible to turn the shower on without getting your hair drenched and we couldn't work out how to use the smaller shower attachment.
The lift was incredibly busy.
The staff were all lovely, professional, warm and friendly.
Breakfast was amazing.
We would stay again:-)

10/10 ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL HOTEL.
We loved the breakfast, so much to choose from. Wish there had been smoked salmon though! The hotel location was spectacular. We are 78 and 84 and wanted to be able to walk to some of the sights. Also, we chose a suite so we could relax between our outings.

10/10 Lovely place to stay for weekend
Lovely standard room. Was good bed and nice pillows.
Was told we had upgrade but think mistake mad as was shown to a standard room and our luggage I think was taken to upgrade room as was not in our room when we arrived after checking in.
However receptionist was welcoming and he arranged some birthday treats. So cannot complain. Would recommend this hotel.

7/10 A beautiful property that COULD be a great hotel but sadly is lacking in service and detail.
Plus: large comfortable room, Executive King nicely appointed. Convenient location near Buckingham Palace.
Minus: Service was lacking - particularly at breakfast which was very underwhelming. Lots of dirty tables long wait to order coffee, wait staff apologizing for being understaffed.

10/10 A pleasant experience
Thank you to your front of house staff, receptionists, doorkeepers and porters for making my stay so pleasant and accessible. At 8 months pregnant and as a solo traveler for my event in Westminster, having staff assist with doors and luggage was much welcome.
The hotel and its amenities were beautiful and luxurious.
Thank you again

10/10 A trip to remember
Our staff at the Taj was truly wonderful. The staff was attentive, professional and service oriented. The spa services were amazing giving us a relaxing day after traveling to several countries. We were greeted each time we entered the lobby making us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend this hotel.

1/10 This is a great example of how poor service can ruin what could have been a good experience.
While the location, room and breakfast were average...the staff was very rude and service provided by them was sub optimal.

10/10 Great location good quality
Great location ! Very friendly staff , good price and the rooms are good space , the restaurant for breakfast is very good, the only thing was that the USB charger connection was not working so you need to take a converter to charge your cell phone

8/10 Good but nothing super special
The room requires some attention as the bathroom has rust and limescale.
Other than that all was good 👍🏼

8/10 Very good
Great location, friendly staff and great breakfast. Comfortable room and nice to have bottled water in the room. Stayed five nights and enjoyed the variety at breakfast every day. They just need another coffee/espresso machine! Would definitely come back.

9/10 exceeded my expectation, good value for money.
Breakfast room was full with a wait so we were send to the bar area which was OK but not our preferred choice

9/10 Perfect location and quiet rooms
Location is absolutely perfect. Rooms are perfectly clean and equipped. The hotel is very quiet despite the number of guests. Waiting time to have a table for breakfast can be improved.
