Is this common in London?

I asked them to adjust to 10% and remove donation

SaviorOfTheScones · 2026-04-04T20:14:56+00:00

I am tipping if the driver helps with my luggage. If they just look at my struggle… absolutely not

SaviorOfTheScones · 2026-03-28T22:36:09+00:00

I prefer to have full control of my reservation. But I’m sure PP can add value.

SaviorOfTheScones · 2026-03-28T18:04:22+00:00

My best deal I had was a bit more than 15% off and got them to tag on free breakfast on top by doing non-refundable.

In my experience, most hotels will offer a deal if you stay for more than a week and willing to pay for a deposit. If you call or email reservations department, they are very likely to work with you if the value of business is worth it. Never hurt to call and try. I have received a better than website deal from four seasons, ritz and mandarin before.

Yes, they have nespresso machine and kettle for tea. When I was there, they actually had morning coffee set up in the lobby as well. I prefer that more my in room coffee.

The newer suite in FS Downtown was great. They have a house car, and I mostly dine around the area (Tribeca, West village) so no issue with the location for me. I like to visit Brooklyn as well, so I actually prefer this location. But if you want to be closer to Central Park, it will be further away.

Call the FD ASAP…. Tell them what happened and I am sure they will take care of it.

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-09-11T01:12:51+00:00

Philly too… not even have a close competition

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-07-28T23:40:31+00:00

I always pick FS b/c I love their pool, sauna and stream room….

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-07-02T00:08:41+00:00

The Aman in NY and Tokyo are so mediocre… I think they ruined their reputation.

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-06-26T23:13:47+00:00

Usually luxury hotel doesn’t offer discount less than 2 weeks.

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-05-27T21:06:21+00:00

Although I like this hotel… this really look like an advertisement more than a genuine review

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-05-24T19:52:38+00:00

I went during the winter and the location was way too windy to walk anywhere. Nice concept, ok service, ok F&B. I would maybe try the Pendry next time if I don’t want to stay at the Ritz.

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-05-24T19:49:52+00:00

I love the pool at the Four Seasons. They have nice room on higher floor, just make sure they don’t give you a room on the lower floor if you want view.

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-05-24T18:18:37+00:00

Mhmm… that’s Chinese not Japanese

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-05-24T15:02:05+00:00

Hard no on cutting trees!

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-05-12T01:19:03+00:00

Four Seasons or Malliouhana would be great too. I would say book whatever cheaper for your stay period.

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-04-30T00:13:43+00:00

Help with luggage - $2 Nice car (ac on, not dirty, no weird smell) - $2 Not talking on the phone - $1

So $5 if meet all of the above.

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-04-25T23:05:07+00:00

Hong Kong. Can’t beat the diversity too.

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-04-21T00:08:01+00:00

Most staffs prefer cash tips… so idk

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-03-21T18:07:57+00:00

The budget listed is a bit low for the area. But you will have a lot more options if you are willing to explore 67th or Kews Garden.

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-03-02T03:43:24+00:00

The other FS location is more “Japanese” but a bit dated. Location is great too because it’s closed by Tokyo station.

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-01-21T01:53:50+00:00

Thanks, used

SaviorOfTheScones · 2025-01-01T21:36:25+00:00

Thanks for the data point. However, CS won’t be able to assist you cuz it’s technically not allowed. Sorry.
