I visited the hotel for a very early breakfast meeting and had the opportunity, prior to the meeting, to look around the magnificent ground floor, the entrance hall is cavernous yet elegant with an almost floor to ceiling glass wall with the history of the original owners of the building. Once out of the magnificent ex banking entrance hall the... More

Great location, so close to many great sights and very easy to walk to so many places. Initially we were a bit disappointed that we were unable to check in as our room wasn't ready (this was at 4.30pm despite check in time being 3.00pm) However this was made up for by giving us a late check out on departure...

Had a wonderful stay at The Sofitel St James. We requested an upgrade and were granted one. The rooms are nice and luxurious, I loved the bathroom, although the shower door was only 1/2 a door, so water ended up on the floor. Very comfy beds. Not a loud hotel. Classy! Awesome French Press Coffee - ordered room service, pricy,... More

Great Location I was very disappointed with the room i expected more considering the room was a luxury room. the hotel was in a great location very close to theaters . service was very good and the main hotel was very nice.

This is the second time we stayed in Sofitel London. Our first stay was very good and we came back again. Unfortunately this time we got a less convenient room for the same rate.

This is the second time in 2 years that we have stayed here and will be more than happy to stay again . Apart from its central location the staff are simply superb and deserve every accolade for making this a wonderful place . High Tea in the lounge and dinner in the restaurant were memorable events with great service... More

Last week I had once again the great privilege to stay in the Sofitel St James, i.e. my favourite hotel in London. Not only is the location exceptional but the quality of the accommodation and the staff are wonderful. As many staff members have been there for a long time I never feel like just a guest but as a...

Never reviewed before but compelled to do so following recent visit. Booked double room via lastminute.com to celebrate our anniversary and attend an afternoon function. We were greeted by pleasant and friendly staff who seemed genuinly interested in our stay. We were given a room upgrade and surprised with an anniversary confectionary in our room, which made our day. Our... More

We were here only two nights at the end of a three-week trip to Europe and wanted a place within walking distance of the theatre, the National Gallery, etc. We also wanted it to be quiet and of good quality. Sofitel St. James met all our qualifications. It is a lovely old building which has classy elegance everywhere you look.... More
