I travel all over the world for my job on an almost weekly basis and this is the best hotel I have stayed in for a long time that just gets EVERYTHING right! The most amazing bed I've slept in, beautiful decor, outstanding service, huge rooms, and a great location. I'll be back. More

Indeed our central location is extremely convenient for both leisure and professional purposes. Besides this advantage, our master trump is our high standards of service and I am most pleased and thankful for you pointing this out in your positive feedback. Our restaurant, The Balcon, as well as the St James Bar are pure gems specially after their refurbishment. As... More

I traveled with my husband overseas, and we planned on splurging and going all out. We were not disappointed! If you can afford it, I highly recommend St. James. It is everything you could ask for and more. More

This is beautiful hotel in a wonderful old building. It is very well run, the staff are extremely helpful. We came as part of a large business group, and they organised a special check in for us which was very efficient. The public areas are very attractive and well decorated. The rooms are a very good size, especially for London,... More

From the second we came in to the hotel, we were met with a nice relaxed atmosphere and a feeling, that the staff would do everything to make our stay in London as pleasant as possible. The new restaurant was very interesting and the staff of the bar was great. The only problem we had were, that the beds was... More

No big surprises just Sofitel expectations met in a city where expectations sadly need to be lowered at times. Staff friendly and helpful. Room and bathroom could use an upgrade but that's only because I tend to stay in newer hotels. More

Quite frankly hard to find a negative to this hotel. We stayed for a weekend and enjoyed the proximity to Piccadilly Circus and Covent Garden. Only a 15min walk to the theater area. Amazingly peaceful and quiet considering the area. We've stayed in other Sofitel hotels around the world, but this has got to be my favorite one so far.... More
