I had a lovely stay at this hotel, where the service was fantastic and the location was wonderfully quiet, despite being close to major attractions. The room was decent for London standards, featuring a nice terrace, but the absence of a clear view and the noise from the air duct were a bit off-putting. Overall, it's a great choice for anyone looking for a friendly atmosphere and comfortable stay in the heart of the city.

The hotel's location is fantastic, just a short walk from The Mall, making it ideal for exploring nearby attractions. The room was spacious and well-furnished, but service-related issues dampened the experience. While the dining service and breakfast were excellent, the handling of certain customer service situations left much to be desired. The cleanliness in common areas was also a concern, reflecting a need for better maintenance.

We treated ourselves to a night in Mayfair at this hotel, and while the experience had its highlights, it also came with notable downsides. The room was quite expensive yet faced issues with services and comfort. The location is superb, making it easy to enjoy the best of London, but the experience was hindered by the broken air conditioning and less-than-ideal customer service regarding our concerns.

I had a wonderful stay at the St. James Hotel with its fantastic location and attentive concierge services. I was able to see and do so much in a short time thanks to the helpful staff. However, the high price didn't fully match my experience due to some room comfort issues and service hitches that I didn't expect from a hotel at this level.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While I appreciated the comfortable atmosphere and nice amenities, several issues made my experience less enjoyable. The air conditioning didn't seem to work properly, which made the room uncomfortably warm, and I faced significant disturbances from room service knockings. Overall, I expected better given the price I paid.
Rooms

The room was rather spacious but let in almost no natural light. I had to keep the lights on all the time, and it felt like I was in a cabin without windows. The bathroom, although functional, was extremely small.
