Hotel location is perfect, and staff service awesome from reservation (special thanks to the reservation manager who exceeded my special requests expectation) to checking-out. Rooms always clean, great amenities, and new extras such as in room expresso machines available freely upon request. Of course, this is not a cheap hotel but getting a deal including breakfast makes it more affordable,... more

Landed from Paris and moved into the St. James Sofitel. A bit odd to have the staff spouting French in the center of London. But one gets quickly used to it. Check-in was a breeze - the staff knew who I was even though it was our first time there. Some nifty guesswork I suppose. My daughter was asleep in... more

From the moment you arrive at the front door of the hotel, you are made to feel welcome (without anything feeling 'over the top'). Check in was a doddle and the luxury room, while smaller than similarly classed rooms in other cities, was excellent. The front desk had asked if we were celbrating anything during our stay; it was our... more

Out of the three hotels we stayed in during our month in London this was our favourite. Great location in the centre of London. Could walk everywhere from there. Loved the beds. Was like sleeping on clouds. The staff were all great. Have no complaints. more

Stayed at the Sofitel with my husband for one night in October. The decor is lovely, the staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel is also very well located, an easy stroll to theatreland. Also very convenient for other areas such as Regent Street and Covent Garden. The rooms are a good size and very well presented. They also include... more

I'm an avid user of tripadvisor, but have never left a review. I was so pleased with my stay at the Sofitel St. James that I had to share my experience. My friend and I traveled to London at the end of September.. we stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. Jumped off the nearby Piccadilly Circus tube from the... more

Fantastic place. Wonderful, spacious room with all the amenities. Great service, entire staff just wonderful. Top location easy walking distance to Trafalgar Square, Charing Cross, Picadilly Circus, St. James Park. We just spent a whole week here and would recommend this hotel to anyone. Free internet connection called Lite but plenty fast enough. Super high speed for an additional charge... more

Stayed at the Sofitel for 3 nights in October 2009 at the end of our month honeymoon through Europe. It was a bit of an extravagance but I think was worth every cent. I booked here (on expedia $1250 AUD for Fri, Sat,Sun nights) primarily on TA reviews and the fact that the Sofitel in Melbourne is just about my... more
