My partner and I stayed here for our anniversary. We made them aware of that before booking the room and what can I say, they went above and beyond our expectations to make our stay memorable! The team were warm and welcoming and were always there to meet our requests. I'd like to specifically mention Anita, Beata and Sunaina who really went out their way to their way to make our stay special. The room we had stayed in was very modern and very roomy, which is welcomed when staying at a hotel in the heart of London. The spa facilities were great to take some well needed R&R. All in all, I would definitely stay at this hotel again and would highly recommend it to anyone.

The overall experience of staying at this hotel was very good! Check in was smooth and I felt pleased with the room that I was given. My friend and I couldn't wait to use the spa facilities and have a head to toe spa treatment as there is a very unique theme at the hotel and spa. The spa facilities and spa treatment were wonderful and very relaxing! However, my experience did feel ruined when the spa therapist who did my treatment ended up making me feel incredibly insecure. While attempting to sell spa products to my friend and I, she made some very insensitive comments about the acne and scarring on my face. I understand that she was trying to sell skincare products but this approach was very unnecessary and insensitive. If I wanted to have my face or skin texture analysed - I would've went to see a dermatologist! My friend and I politely declined to buy any spa products. Straight after, the same spa therapist had the audacity to ask if we would like to pay a gratitude tip after she made those comments about the flaws/imperfections on my skin! I felt so disheartened and insecure after. Despite this awkward incident, I had a lovely sleep after and the hotel staff were great and quick when I asked for small things like more water bottles and extra sugar in the room. We had to wait a long time for breakfast in the morning as there was a long queue and it took a long while for someone to take our order even after we were seated. The hot breakfast meal was average - it would've been better if there were more pesciterian options. We did enjoy the drinks and sweet pastries though. Lastly, the check out process was smooth and the staff behind the desk were always so nice and polite. Despite the end of my spa experience being an anti climax, the overall experience at this hotel was pretty good!…

I booked two nights at this hotel to enjoy a post-pandemic spa day. Unfortunately the spa was disappointing as during my two hour massage and one hour facial, I heard doors opening, closing, and slamming the entire time (hundreds of times to be exact...I counted as it was the only thing I could focus on). I mentioned the noise to the masseuse and to the spa receptionist, both of whom were aware of the door noise issue, apologized to me, and said there was nothing that could be done about the noise. After I complained multiple times, I received 10% off of the services at the spa, but I feel the discount was not enough as 1) I was completely unable to relax at the spa, 2) the treatments I chose were not inexpensive and 3) most of the staff were very aware of the noise complaints. So my first spa day in over a year was hugely disappointing. I am writing this review to warn others, as I had not read anything online about the noise in the spa. As the staff are aware of the issue and informed me that the door noise cannot be fixed, I believe the hotel should put a warning on their website so people can know about the noise before they choose to spend hundreds of pounds in a noisy spa where one is unable to relax. Book spa services here if your idea of relaxing is laying in the middle of any major train station for a massage because that's about how much traffic travels through the spa at St. James Court. I will not stay at this hotel again, and I definitely will not patronize the spa ever again.…

Wonderful staycation. As soon as we arrived at the hotel the service was fantastic. We were well looked after and as it was my husbands birthday they made the stay extra special. Special thanks to Nourhan, Lisa, Desmond, Ciara and Shahanad who looked after us and our kids. The food was lovely; a fab breakfast. We had a family room with two double beds very spacious. The hotel is in a perfect location so close to the sights. The courtyard was beautiful. Highly recommend and definitely be back again.
