My husband and I have been living in London, on and off, for three years. We have stayed in many hotels and short term lease flats. Our last trip, which was in January, one of our favorite hotels, The St James Crowne Plaza, was booked. They suggested 51 Buckingham Gate, right next door. WOW....what a delight.

We had the pleasure of traveling to London the week before Christmas. We had begun communicating with the concierge months prior to our visit. They were very helpful booking dinner reservations and theater tickets. The concierge Nelson was fantastic once we arrived there as well. The units are beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The modern kitchens were so convenient with... More

It’s not every night that I stay in a hotel room that is larger than my flat. In fact, most rooms I’ve slept in are barely big enough to fit a bed, let alone anything else. This is particularly true in a city like London, where property prices keep hotel rooms small and rates high. But this week I stayed... More

I have stayed in quite a few hotels in London, including The Savoy, but have never felt the need to write a review.....until now. My husband and I stayed for two nights in a Junior Apartment, and from the moment we stepped through the door, the staff couldn't do enough for us. Everyone was so friendly and obliging. They made...

Excellent experience! We took advantage of a promotional offer and received a free upgrading to a more spacious apartment. Sumptuous breakfast. Very gentle people at the concierge. Ideal for families, especially if you consider the rarity of family rooms in London. We will return to this hotel the next time we are in London. More

51 BG is a great hotel. We had a two room suite with living area, kitchen and laundry facilities and it was a perfect place to relax. Facilities are top notch and the service is exemplary. Nelson, the concierge, knows his stuff and is a pleasure to deal with. Thanks 51 BG More

I've been a long time returning guest of 51. On this last trip, over Christmas, their service levels excelled once again; being welcomed to my suite that was already seasoned with a REAL live Christmas Tree, ornaments and all, followed by a personalized Christmas Stocking stuffed with traditional little gifts and fruit on Christmas Eve. This hotel continues to excel... More

It's our first trip to London and staying at 51 Buckingham Palace has made it an exceptional experience. The service standards of the hotel are impeccable, it is so personalised and warm and nothing is too much trouble. Alex, the concierge and Erol at breakfast service provided such outstanding service and the little touches and thoughts were superb. More

So the odd thing about the Taj at 51 Buckingham Gate is it's multiple buildings around a courtyard, and it doesn't exactly feel like a hotel. This can be a good thing if you're not looking for a Dorchester/Grosvenor House experience, and on nice days it was pleasant eating breakfast in the courtyard. However we found the courtyard a little... More
