Rough Guide "Quirky guesthouse that manages to be both homely – thanks to some lovely period furniture – and chic; the rooms are huge."
Frommer's "The term home-from-home is bandied around all too frequently when hotels are discussed, but the Main House deserves the tag." Full review
Concierge "Thanks to posh ex-nightclub owner Caroline Main, you too can be a Notting Hill bohemian."

Michelin Guide "Many of the attractive rooms overlook a peaceful garden."
Concierge "Still run by the family that opened it in 1910, this "elegant property very much like a private English home" is adjacent to Buckingham Palace."
Fodor's "With Buckingham Palace just around the corner, this hotel, built in 1910 and now run by third-generation Gorings, has always been a favorite among discreet VIPs." Full review
DK Eyewitness "It boasts special assets such as a lovely garden and London’s most sumptuous family rooms and children’s facilities."
Star Service "While it does indeed offer guest rooms to rival most any in London in terms of quality, the real joy of a stay here is being in the tender care of wondrous people." Full review
Gayot "Four generations of Gorings have run this hotel since it opened in 1910, and all that experience shows in the extremely high levels of personal service."
BlackBook "Queen mother used to pop in for afternoon tea and it's not difficult to see why with elegant... décor, wonderfully warm efficient staff and largest private hotel garden in central London."
Zagat "This family-owned Edwardian boutique hotel in Victoria has been a magnet for monarchs and heads of state for over a century."
