“No reason to stay anywhere else”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012 NEW

The side street location is quiet, central and convenient, the rooms are comfortable, the service is first rate, the concierge helpful, the bar is warm and distinguished. I see no reason to stay anywhere else. More

“Just outstanding all round”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012 NEW

First time i have stayed at this hotel and it is very rare for me to get the " wow" factor on arrival. Staff very friendly and the American Bar is really cosy. I would say this is one those those discreet hotels and i didn't want to leave just hide away. Its either aspirational or you've made it if... More

“Wonderful hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

I stayed at the Stafford Kempinski for the first time last night and what a wonderful stay it was. The service is excellent, the rooms quiet and spacious and the team at the hotel are clearly proud to work there. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have experienced in years. More

The best hotel in London. Impeccable english service - attentive but appropriately unobtrusive. Expensive but a truly exceptional experience. Over the years I have stayed there 40 times once for a couple of weeks. A pleasure to return to. The breakfast croissants are out of this world. If you can afford it go for it - as with New York...

“The Best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

We have been coming back to our home at The Stafford every year for the past 15 years. Frank Laino and his concierge staff are the best. Nothing is too much for them and they make it seem easy. Restaurant reservations, theatre tickets (to sold out shows) are a snap for Frank and his team. The hotel is on a... More

“Exceptional small hotel near everything”

This charming small hotel is five star for the superb service, excellent rooms and fine dining, topped off by the American Bar, where Yanks can get a good hamburger. Costly but unforgettable. More
