London’s hotels received more than 375,000 user reviews during the year, which is an average of 640 online reviews per hotel. ?

They are followed by the Corinthia London, The Levin, Egerton House, Milestone Hotel, 51 Buckingham Gate, Four Seasons Park Lane, Staybridge Suites Stratford City and the Soho Hotel.

Egerton House (99.4%) and Hotel 41 (98.4%) were ranked as the top hotels for service, ahead of the Service Index average for all hotels, at 78.2%.

ReviewPro chief executive and co-founder RJ Friedlander said: “The internet offers hotels a limitless source of information on their customers’ experiences which, when managed adequately, enables them to improve performance in all areas for every type of hotel, from small, boutique establishments to large hotel chains.

“Online reputation directly impacts revenue by influencing key performance measures such as pricing, occupancy rates and revenue per available room (RevPar). The London hotels that understand this will be able to respond competitively to the evolving demands of their customers.”
