I recently booked a surprise 60th Birthday meal for my husband, nothing was too much trouble from when we arrived to when we left. The receptionist asked the guests to gather in the cocktail bar. When we arrived we were taken through to where everyone waiting. I had asked them to make a cake too which was delicious. We were in a separate part of the main dining area which was lovely. The staff bought a fan out for the room after requesting one as it was a very warm evening. The waiting staff were excellent. Thank you for making it a wonderful evening for us all. Karen

The team at the Langham Hotel are fantastic. They were all incredibly kind and helpful (going above and beyond to help us carry luggage to the car a couple of streets away). Rooms were clean, bed was comfy, breakfast was great, couldn't ask for more.

This hotel is wonderful. Previous reviews were really good and that's why I booked and it exceeded expectations. Booked a more expensive room for the sea view and really glad as the view is stunning from the window. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. Nice touches like bathrobes, slippers and lovely shampoo etc in the bathroom. High quality. The wallpaper also was a really nice detail.
Best of all is the food in the restaurant, real fine dining. We had dinner on the first night. Table cloths, napkins and wine cooler. Would recommend the mussels starter and the melting chocolate torte for dessert, wow, that was wonderful watching the hot sauce being poured over to reveal the icecream. Cooked breakfast was also superb and cooked to perfection. Lovely service from staff, too. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately, as a Vegan, I was let down. The kitchen and serving staff had no understanding of what being vegan meant. We were asked how we would like our eggs, despite previously advising 2 minutes prior that we were vegan, no animal products. We suspect we were served meat sausages today as they were different than the sausages served yesterday, highly offensive to a Vegan. A real shame as the room was fantastic and high quality but let down by the hotel not educating it's staff on vegan food.

We liked the ploughmans so much, we went back to the Langham today for lunch and another fab ploughmans, this time with ham and brie. Was lovely and plenty of food between the 2 of us. No complaints here just great food and wonderful service.
