Wonderful!
We highly recommend the London St James. The service was amazing, the hotel was very impressive and the location was perfect. We especially appreciate the birthday balloons, cupcakes and macaroons for our daughter’s birthday that were waiting in our room upon arrival.

Wonderful Hotel
Pros:Staff were very accommodating from check-in to the restaurant staff.
Location:We enjoyed being within walking distance to Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, Thames riverfront, the Eye as well as Westminster Abbey and museums.
The St. James Sofitel is a wonderful Hotel in the perfect central location. We thoroughly enjoyed our accommodations as well as the delicious English breakfast buffet every morning. We will definitely plan to stay here on our next trip to London.

London Labo (u)r day weekend
Excellent easy trip, plane is big and comfortable, smooth sail, minimal jet lag. Hotel is amazing- the best location-in the middle of everything, yet very quiet. Staff is polite and friendly, rooms combine modern and timeless feel, shower with power jets , and the bedding is to die for- sleeping like a baby in the cloud. Location- Buckingham palace to the left, Piccadilly to the right, Trafalgar square to the back. Even the weather was great. And, you do not need taxi- Tube is 1 minute away and is nice and clean. Highly recommended- worth the price.

Great hotel - spectacular service - highly recommended
My wife and i spent a short (5 day) vacation in london. From the moment we arrived at the hotel, the staff went out of their way to make sure all our needs were met. The bed was quite possibly the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in! Free internet access was provided for multiple devices, which is rarely seen in high-end hotels of this caliber. The hotel's location, near piccadily circus, put us in the center of the london shopping district. We hope to return in the near future!

An excellent home base for your stay in London!
Pros:Free Internet, Quiet, beautiful room and comfortable bed!
Perfect location, amazing staff, excellent rooms! We stayed here for 3 nights on our first trip to London and it could NOT have been a better choice! We were able to walk to nearly everything (including the tube when our destination was too far to walkl). The Concierge staff is amazing and really helpful! If you're lucky, Guillaume will be working and he'll give you the low-down!

Some Good, Some Excellent & Some Bad
Hotel is in excellent location. Very close to Picadilly tube station, maybe 10-15 minute walk. You can also walk to many places from hotel. Desk & concergie service very good, very professional, nice and eager to please. Room service to turn rooms in morning & evening excellent . However, Room was NOT completely all that great. Bed was EXCELLENT, most comfortable bed I have ever slept in my entire life!! Very luxurious down comforters, pillows, sheets, it was terrific. The bad part is that our television did not work upon our arrival of hotel and went out twice after the first service call. The sink in bathroom had bad sink stopper that did not drain properly and we had to call service desk for that as well, it flooded the sink a couple of times. For being a five star hotel, I did not expect to have these type of problems, so I would rate this hotel a very high four, NOT a complete five star. Our room was also not ready when we checked in & had to wait 30 minutes. Overall, hotel is okay but not truly worth the high cost b/c its not really five stars. Would stay at different hotel next time.

Fabulous
This hotel was wonderful on just about every dimension. The accomodations were lovely. Spacious for the area, well appointed, luxurious. The staff was extremely helpful. The location was perfect, close to the serene St. James park, historic Parliament and Big Ben, and action-packed Picadilly and West End. Yes, it was a little pricey, but I'd say it was worth it. I would definitely stay there again.
