Sofitel London St James - London

Great location, wonderful staff, dissappointingly tiny room, ridiculously expensive coffee

The staff were very pleasant. The room had a very modern décor. When I told them it was my birthday they left cake in my room and a rose, what a lovely surprise. Only complaint I would have is the price of breakfast, so we went elsewhere for it. Great location by St James's Park, easy to walk into central London.

This hotel is in a great location within walking distance of resaurants, theatres and shopping & sites. The staff were very helpful & rooms were excellent. I have stayed in 5* hotels before but this is by far the best.

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights/three days and were really delighted with our choice. The hotel itself is not even a stones throw from Trafalgar Square. The tube is about 30 seconds walk away. The staff were lovely and very helpful with checking in , taxis and general advice for tourists. The rooms were classic and there were 2 quilts on a bed making it difficult to get out of in the morning. The breakfast was expensive by any means but yummy. The coctail bar was the really class and the staff excellently skilled at the making of said beverages. I would definitly stay there again on my next return to London as it was enjoyable and centrally located to most attractions.

Just back from an amazing weekend in London with my girlfriends, where we stayed at this wonderful hotel! In a word, stunning! The hotel Consierge staff were so nice and both themselves and the reception staff made us feel really welcome! They were on hand constantly with recommendations of where to eat/drink/visit etc! Hermes toiletries in the bathroom was another nice touch and really made for a real feeling of quality! Seriously comfy beds provided for the best sleep after a day exploring London and all very tastefully decorated rooms. A real find! Couldn't have chosen a better location either, literally minutes walk away from everywhere and although we thought they MIGHT be expensive, black cabs were only about £6.00 to all locations and they were always waiting at the door if called! Can't wait to return and have already recommended this hotel to all our friends!

The hotel was very nice and the location is absolutely perfect. You can walk to most of the major London attractions and the Undergroud is close for anything outside of walking distance. The only "complaint" was that the service was OK and the prices at the bar/room service was rediculously high (even for London).

stayed here for 3 nights in feb '09 in a standard room and loved it..rooms are not big but are superb..bathroom was spotless and had all you would expect..bed was big and comfortable..TV was excellent and had all the channels one would want..the location is fantastic,just 100 yards from picadilly circus and around the corner from Trafalger Square..many tube stations nearby and a 15 minute walk from the shops in Oxford St..there are many cheaper places to stay in the area but if you can afford the extra cost then you wont be dissapointed..

Great location, would defo stay again.

Lovely, comfortable hotel in a great location - we were going to a west end show. There were a couple of faults with our room (peeling paint, grout missing around the toilet tiles), but nothing that affected our stay. The room was clean and tidy, and the staff friendly and very helpful. All in all, not the best hotel I've stayed in, but certainly very good. I'd stay there again without question.

Very comfortable and an ideal location. We'll be back.
