The Althoff St James'S Hotel & Club enjoys a superb, central location, making it easy to walk to many places including Hyde Park, Belgravia and Myfair.

The hotel's location was acceptable. Very central to many attractions.
I was disappointed that the minibar replenishment was inconsistent! There was nobody at reception when I needed assistance. And no one answered the phone.

The hotel location was superb. i found it convenient, with easy access to many local sites. the bar had a nice vibe and offered a good selection of drinks. i also appreciated the friendly and helpful staff.
my sole concern was the slightly high price for a glass of wine. it was a minor issue, but worth mentioning.
