My husband and I spent two weeks in London in a Deluxe King Room in the main building of this hotel. We loved it! Everyone who works there from the doorman, to the porters, the front desk staff, the housekeeping staff, and those who work in the restaurant and bar are extremely friendly, professional, respectful, courteous, and helpful. They all made us feel at home and wanted to ensure that our every desire was satisfied. For this reason alone we would stay here again.

Charlie, a doorman at this hotel for more than 20 years, is especially helpful and acts as an ambassador for the hotel, helping guests to understand all that the hotel has to offer. He can assist with things to see, directions, almost anything that you want to know.

The location of this hotel is ideal. It is perfectly central to anything that you want to see or do, with many key tourist attractions within close walking distance. It is also less than a five minute walk to the nearest Tube station.

Our room was representative of 19th century living. The furnishings were a bit old and the room was decorated in colors of a Victorian-age English garden. I enjoyed it but my husband thought it was a bit dowdy. The bathroom was a decent size and everything was covered in marble. Great water pressure in the shower. Plenty of space in the room for clothing. Nespresso machine. Daily newspaper. Continually replaced bottled water. Adjustable heat. Hair dryer, and a converter in case you forgot your own.

The American Bar is a wonderful place to enjoy cocktails and a light meal. There is a charming outdoor courtyard if you are here on a good weather day. There is also The Game Bird restaurant which has a wonderful menu and the best scallops that we've ever tasted. The only issue that I had with the restaurant is that people walk right through it to get to the bar. That seemed odd for such a nice restaurant, but I think it is all that they could do considering the layout of the old buildings. Not a worry though, you will still enjoy the restaurant.

Definitely try this hotel. It is located on a quiet street in an upscale neighborhood instead of a loud and busy area. After a hectic day in busy London, you will appreciate this change of pace. They also provide a website to pick you type of bedding, pillows, and various other options to personalize your stay for your comfort. A truly wonderful hotel near many good restaurants and brasseries.

I have stayed in many hotels in London in the past 5 years including Claridge's, the Dorchester and the Connaught and The Stafford is by far my favorite! First and foremost in the staff. They are just amazing when it comes to service and making you feel that you are their most important guest. After checkin, I was greeted by name by every staff member at all times. Even when arriving back at 1:30am. The location cannot be beat. Every morning starts with a run or walk in Green Park and a nod to Buckingham Palace. However, the hotel itself in tucked away in a mews that keeps the hustle and bustle away from your doorstep. A short walk and you are at Fortnum and Mason and Trafalgar Square. The rooms are beautifully appointed and the restaurant is worthy of a visit even if you are not staying at the Stafford. The morning breakfast buffet is outstanding and they even have a lovely courtyard in the back for drinks and lunch! When planning this last trip, we contacted the concierge desk for theatre tickets and reservations and Frank, Peter and Jack performed miracles and even got us into the Harry Potter Studios which had been sold out for weeks! The Stafford is a GLORIOUS hotel if you like quality, service and luxury. We have already booked another stay in September!
