    Loved the bathroom but must admit for the Savoy the room didn't look as luxurious as we would expect for that money. The rest of the hotel does look beautiful and the meal amazing too!

      That’s exactly what I said to Maffoo but he thought differently! I thought it was a little more old fashioned than classic / luxurious. But had a fantastic time overall with wonderful service and food ❤️

    Very old fashioned. Having stayed at Kimpton Fitzroy, Conrad, Trafalgar London which are 5* hotels the decor and fittings appear much nicer compared to what you get here. Interesting!

    I’d love to stay there, but at £600 I’d look twice at my hard earned cash and think of how many days onboard a cruise ship that would buy.

      I get that. Completely. We don’t compare costs of experiences though; we take them one by one and the most important factor is how much we want to do it. This is something we’ve always wanted to do and it was worth every penny; one of the most incredible experiences we will never forget

    Love the Savoy , had 3-4 diff stays in 80’s and 90’s when it was still under the “ Savoy Group” of hotels and not Fairmont so before it was closed and refurbished.
    It was great and The American bar is a fav and also the Savoy grill prior to Ramsey Thames foyer for even peach Melba and champagne after dinner :)
    Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
    Reception staff , is great and welcoming, put me in a upg to a art deco suite :)

    what staggers me is where it is, The Strand looked like a bomb had hit it as we walked down, litter, KFC,s, Tat shops and Burger Kings, then suddenly, down an allley way is The Savoy, we nipped in there for a drink in the American Bar, it was nice, but to be fair it was total overkill, and the place reminded me of a place where old rich people flitter around and stay in their rooms, lets be honest, the average person wants to see London, and this is an expensive place to get your head down and get a wash....the staff were absolutely brilliant tho, they dont know if your a millionaire or not, so they have to be nice.a big shout out to Isaac from Leeds (our waiter) he was absolutely brilliant.

    Hi mate,
    A family member of mine stayed there 4 nights a week, every week for years all payed for. He had never ate Mac and Cheese so asked for it with his wife. £100. Didn't think much of it. I live a simple life and remember when he was young he did so too. Just shows how you lose all sense of reality in life. Strange eh.

    This is one of the few hotels where I feel right at home, no ridiculous display of annoying luxury that just gets on your nerves,, a hotel where a man like King Charles would be quite comfortable - a very pleasant minimalistic and reasonable luxury, no need to cringe about the fact that you have money ,, British down to earth at it's best 😎

    Wow... what a disappointment. The furnishings in that room look so generic and plain. No character, no charm. I would actually be angry at having to pay so much for such an average looking room. Even the bathroom misses the mark. So... thank you for the video. I now know NOT to stay at the Savoy, but I will continue to have afternoon tea there. I've had afternoon tea at the Savoy three times, but have never stayed in the hotel. So... afternoon tea - Yes. Hotel stay - NO.
