This is the only place I have ever stayed in London- because the service is so impeccable! I’m headed back next week and so excited. The concierge goes out of his way to help you. Feels like family and coming home, honestly. The Connaught bar is amazing.  They have the kind of bartenders that remember the drink u ordered two days prior. I’ve stayed at mainly Four Seasons properties all over the world- but this is one city where I make an exception. Thank you Connaught!

Second time here for dinner and I must say the first one has been better. I was by myself but the restaurant was full so a very helpful guy from the security found me a table at the bar (shutout to him, he was super kind and professional)
Sadly I waited one hour for my food, when I received it I only ate the sushi crisp and not the shrimp salad cause I wasn’t hungry anymore after all that time so I asked for the bill. I paid for everything but let’s say I would have appreciated if the something was offered (the coke, the water or the untouched salad) to apologize for the waiting
Then I went for a last drink at The Red Room and the experience was perfect as always

I recently dined at The Connaught’s esteemed restaurant with my mother, hoping for an exceptional experience to mark my birthday and explore what would have been our potential stay at your hotel during our upcoming London trip. While the dinner met our expectations for a high-end establishment, the subsequent treatment we received left us deeply disappointed and reconsidering any future visits.

After finishing our meal and expressing interest in seeing the first floor of the hotel—a reasonable request given our plans to stay at The Connaught in just two weeks—we were approached by an employee who publicly humiliated us. We were rudely told to leave the premises because “non-guests” are not permitted beyond the restaurant area. This confrontation was not only demeaning but was made worse by being done in full view of other guests and staff, leaving us embarrassed and shocked at the level of disregard shown.

Is this truly the standard of hospitality The Connaught prides itself on? To have a paying customer, who has just left a substantial amount in your restaurant, be treated as though they are trespassing is unacceptable. I expect better from a place with your storied reputation and high prices. The lack of courtesy and tact from your staff raises serious concerns about the quality of service guests can expect.

We are now seriously reconsidering our plans to stay at The Connaught during our upcoming visit to London. Word of mouth travels quickly, and it would be a shame if this experience becomes the lasting impression of what is otherwise considered a premier destination. I sincerely hope you will take immediate steps to ensure no other patrons are subjected to such disrespectful and dismissive treatment.

For the price of this hotel, you expect a little more. The lead-in room is very small. There are no interconnecting rooms. The shampoo and conditioner is very chemically - not 5* products at all. There are many 5* hotels within London and to be honest - I would try another one before this one. However, the service is impeccable.

Whoever worked on 17th November evening it has given us a horrible experience of them all. We stayed a week ago in this hotel for two nights and today we felt like we missed the place so we went there for dinner at the restaurant after we had dinner we went upstairs to take a picture next to one of the paintings on the wall as we had similar in our home. When we did so a security member very rudely asked us to leave the space telling us we were not allowed there. Not to say it was my birthday it upset me so much that I will never come to stay in this place again and I will not recommend this to anyone else.
Thanks
