Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 28 September 2026 · How we review hotels
Claridge's is made for travellers who want London at its most glamorous. The Art Deco hotel sits on Brook Street in Mayfair, with Hyde Park under 10 minutes away on foot and Bond Street close by. Guests speak most warmly about the service, which many describe as impeccable, and about the grand public rooms, the beds and the spotless bedrooms. The Fumoir, the Reading Room and afternoon tea in the Foyer give the hotel a lively social life of its own. That liveliness has a flip side. The lobby can feel busy, and some bedrooms are smaller than the setting suggests, which makes value the point guests are least sure about. A few also mention minor upkeep niggles. Couples celebrating an occasion and anyone who wants a classic London stay in the middle of Mayfair will find it hard to fault; travellers who measure a hotel by the size of the room may prefer somewhere roomier.
Guests score it 9.2 out of 10 — the average across the 19 hotels we list in London is 9.4.
What Guests Loved
- Staff come up in almost every review. Guests describe the service as impeccable and world-class, and it is the detail most often given as the reason a stay felt special.
- The Art Deco decor and the grand public rooms are a large part of the appeal. Guests call the interiors stunning and the hotel historic, with bedrooms that feel luxurious.
Things to Consider
- More than one guest found their bedroom small, which stands out in a hotel where the public rooms are so generous. If space matters to you, check the room size before you book.
- The ground floor is lively, with the Foyer and the bars in regular use, and one guest felt the lobby was too busy to feel private.
Should you book it?
Claridge's is worth booking for couples marking a special occasion in classic style — but pick somewhere else if you want a large room for the money.
