    ...The negative - The 90 minute seating was pretty much strictly enforced and at around the 75 minute mark they bring out the bill and start asking to pack the food to take away. Pretty much pressure you to leave... For a similar price point I personally preferred afternoon tea's of other big 5* hotels in London where the ambience and pace was abit more relaxed and the service at a much higher level Overall not bad but, in my opinion, at that price point much better alternatives available...

    ...This is definitely a pricey place, but this is part of the course for London hotels... To start with they bill you for the entire stay, which is fine., in addition they tacked on another GBP 1000 or so for any further expenses (I don't remember the exact number) but told me that I would be refunded... On the final day when I reviewed my statement, there was a daily 5% "discretionary" service charge tacked on and it really does add up... The hotel staff were fantastic, but I did pay a pretty good amount for the hotel which does include all the services... A friend of mine who stayed at the same hotel a week before completely missed this service charge and honestly it feels like they expect most people to do the same...

From the moment I arrived, butler Lana went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was exceptional... Their attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine warmth made me feel like a valued guest throughout my entire visit... The level of service I experienced truly exceeded my expectations, and I commend your team for their dedication and commitment to providing an unparalleled guest experience...

    The staff at 51 Buckingham gate are like family to us, they take such good care of us, that we feel like it’s home away from home for us. The morning breakfast at Kona is so filled with both indian and European delicacies, and the staff take such good care of us specially Shubam and Gabriel are always so polite and just a call away to help you... The concierge at the 51 Buckingham gate are the best, a special mention to Nelson and Alex who are extremely helpful at all times... I can keep adding names of more people so helpful at this place like Kuri, Mathew, Vasi and so on...

    We had a fabulous stay here at the Taj 51 Suite... The concierge service is fantastic(props to Alex, but I have to commend every one of them), they are extremely helpful with all your questions... The front desk is staffed some really nice people... These apartments are old, but the Taj group has upgraded and maintained them really nicely... Our package included breakfast and it really was wonderful... Tania & Shubam served us breakfast every morning and they were simply superb... I greatly appreciated how my family was treated on this vacation... When we were in a bit of a hurry they made sure they breakfast was brought out sooner... On the final day when I reviewed my statement, there was a daily 5% "discretionary" service charge tacked on and it really does add up... The hotel staff were fantastic, but I did pay a pretty good amount for the hotel which does include all the services... A friend of mine who stayed at the same hotel a week before completely missed this service charge and honestly it feels like they expect most people to do the same...

They provided a children's bed and play mats in our room, and additional amenities for us... Their interactions with our child definitely made this a positive experience for our son...

We found the check in easy and contactless and everyone we interacted with - from the ever so responsive concierge desk to housekeeping or room service or the managers and the courteous serving staff at the restaurants - was very efficient and helpful... Any request we made was immediately responded to... I must make special mention of the Director of Rooms Joy Jobby who we had the pleasure of interacting with on both earlier occasions...

    ...Our family of four stayed at the Taj 51 Buckingham in London for Spring Break 2023, and we were blown away beyond all expectations at the level of impeccable service, attention to detail, and immediate responsiveness to even the slightest request or comment. Every single person throughout our stay was kind, quick to accommodate, and the culture within the team was deeply embedded with complete commitment to stellar world-class service... We were beyond impressed with what was one of the finest stays of our world travels!... Extraordinarily well done to the entire team and staff at the Taj!...

    Our first stay at the Taj did not disappoint us. Taj is the epitome of customer service, in every aspect, right from the footman to the restaurant managers... Every single person we encountered were service oriented in every way possible, extremely polite and accommodating... Even booking a room at the Taj was shocking - an upfront forced payment was not required, and rooms could be cancelled or changed up to to the day of booking at no extra cost... We stayed for 3 days, dined in - the food was awesome, and had a sublime massage at their Jiva spa... A huge thank you and kudos to the entire staff and management at The Taj St James Court, London... We loved the entire experience staying with you...

    We stayed in the Three Kings bedroom suite and the decor was extremely nice however we were disappointed with the cleaning staff who often missed parts... There were problems with the televisions in each room and also the telephones, and the bathrooms but all was resolved eventually... To this end I must say was absolutely excellent... Everyday she managed to check on me and how things were going and was able to make reservations for us us without fail and ensure everything was corrected... Sanya went out of her way to be friendly, intently listening to every aspect that needed attention... Every new problem that arose she was on it it very quickly and I was impressed by her dedication to see that the problem was fixed and and satisfied me... If there were more people like Sonia it would mean the hotel would be perfect... From breakfast to dinner I felt we were taken care of... The hotel staff were generally very accommodating and well mannered... I'd definitely go again, and I'm sure the cleaning staff wil be more thorough next time... Breakfast in the main restaurant was very busy so I didn't want to go again but had the option of the Residences only restaurant, where staff are absolutely amazing... Sanya even came there to check everything was OK... If the quality of attention I experienced from Sanya is repeated, I have no doubt that I'll go again if only for the management...

    ...From the moment you walk into the hotel you are greeted with the incredible scent of jasmine flowers and greeted with warmth and courtesy. We had a butler show us to our residence where we had a waiting bottle of red wine, fresh fruit and beautiful desserts... Moreover, they have attended to the finer details to ensure a comfortable stay that I have never experienced at another hotel... For eg I requested a humidifier and bed rails for our children, and they had this available at the ready... They had fresh milk every day provided for our coffee and children... They had toys and coloring books for our young kids... The restaurants on site are outstanding with some of the most beautifully crafted desserts... The option of a residence for our young family is a unique offering of the advantages of an airbnb with 5-star service... The ambience, service, quality and prime location are unparalleled...

    We had a fabulous stay here at the Taj 51 Suite. It is a wonderfully spacious apartment that fit our family needs really well... The concierge service is fantastic(props to Alex, but I have to commend every one of them), they are extremely helpful with all your questions... The front desk is staffed some really nice people... These apartments are old, but the Taj group has upgraded and maintained them really nicely... Our package included breakfast and it really was wonderful... Tania & Shubam served us breakfast every morning and they were simply superb... I greatly appreciated how my family was treated on this vacation... When we were in a bit of a hurry they made sure they breakfast was brought out sooner... I would whole heartedly recommend this place for your next trip to London especially with your family...

From the suites, to the food, to the location, to the team - I would give 5 stars to everything... The suites are comfortable, equipped with all amenities, comfortable and due to the kitchenette and living area, they feel homely... The breakfast is warm and very wide, which I rarely see in other hotels... The in-room dining menu is extensive and served very nicely... They were really polite, pleasant and always helpful... They made our high tea experience very beautiful as well... His warmth made us feel so taken care of... We really appreciate the Taj team, they really make the stay in the hotel so memorable...

The service at this elegant hotel was truly superb. We booked our reservation for six nights at the recommendation of our travel agent, Richie, of Whatahotel/Lorraine Travel, and he was able to negotiate an excellent rate of third night free for a two bedroom suite, along with complimentary Mercedes town car service from Heathrow, free breakfast, and a $100 dining credit. Each interaction we had with hotel staff was outstanding. They were welcoming, friendly, and helpful at every turn. We checked in with the help of duty manager, Jermin, and then we settled into our suite with the help of head butler, Mathew who supported us throughout our stay. When he noticed that we liked our welcome fruit basket, he provided us with fresh fruit every day for the rest of our stay. When we expressed appreciation for the bottled still and sparkling water, he had a case delivered to the suite. When we experienced a problem with hot water availability in the shower and sinks, Reception Manager, Mohit Velma understood our disappointment and immediately upgraded us to the most glamorous suite in the hotel, the Jaguar suite. The concierge staff — John, Alex, and Nelson — is terrific and they were able to make excellent recommendations for dinner and book some difficult-to- book tables. And in particular, Samuel Varghese, provided us with such warm, gracious assistance with an issue: He was wonderful, yet so modest when I thanked him for the particular help he provided to our family. Finally, Maryann and Jermin made our check out as smooth as it could be. The extraordinary staff made our stay wonderful, and we are so grateful for the many kindnesses they showed us.

I had high expectations and Taj Buckingham Gate St James Court exceeded all. The moment you pull up and walk into reception they know who you are, greet you, and take care of everything. You need not worry about anything. We booked a suite w kitchen in the King residences area and we received a generous complimentary upgrade that also exceeded expectations. The suite was impeccably clean and stocked with more items in the kitchen and bath than you could imagine. And we requested and received two yoga mats for use during our stay. The breakfast package was also irresistible and impeccable service beyond anything. Each and every person, and all managers were outstanding. Food divine. We also enjoyed the complimentary drinks at 6pm in the piano bar. All lovely. The spa and fitness center area and staff also were exceptionally clean and hospitality beyond the pale. Location is within seconds of a major tube station, three royal parks, and Buckingham Palace. They sent roses, a cake, and balloons for birthday celebration. All classy, hospitable, and generous. Concierge and reception staff amazing. Mohit, Jermin, Matthew, Marina, Lana, and literally all the housekeepers, butlers, and Kona staff went above and beyond for all the guests. We already booked our next visit!

Right from check in to check out- it was a fantastic experience. We were upgraded from a Suite to an apartment- very well done up with a bedroom - a huge living and dining room, kitchen and laundry, and an extra powder toilet. Being a Chambers member- had beakfast every day at the Chambers-!very private and exclusive. My birthday was celebrated by the hotel in a grand style- cake and champagne to our apartment and the unforgettable dinner at House of Ming. Thanks to Ms. Mehrnavaz Area Director and GM and the whole team. Special Thanks to Mr. Rajat Bhasin for fulfilling all our unreasonable demands. Also thanks to Ms. Urmi and Mr. Rajat Sabharwal at F& B. After 8 years to being loyal to Langham- will now stay at Taj London always.
