Excellent dining.
The dinners at The Claridge's restaurant live up to expectations, providing filling and decadent meals after your days out and about. Although some of the courses run on the pricier side, you should find that they're generally worth their value, and add some charm to the evening experience.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Limited customer support.
Billing issues and scattered run-ins with room problems may put off some guests, and you'll need to be vigilant about fixing any concerns with your booking or included services. Some of the personnel at The Claridge were neglectful of previous guests, and this may be your unfortunate luck, too.
negative:
Outdated furnishings.
Unfortunately, the hotel's adherence to older designs is a bit of a crutch when it comes to satisfying modern guests. You might find that some of the fixtures don't work as intended, or that the room has some less-than-appealing hallmarks of uncleanliness and decay.
negative:
Facilities without maintenance.
Numerous guest reviews commented on the sad state of affairs in the building's plumbing, heating, and sewage capabilities. You may end up contacting the help desk more than once to resolve issues with your appliances and showers.
