Christopher Singapore

The staff was extraordinarily, really tried to make you feel comfortable. They even organized a small surprise in the room for my partner birthday. Julien and Romana from reception were extremely helpful. We had a spa massage and facial from Zita and Emma which was amazing!!!

Cosmin Romania

The hotel staff is very kind and effective. The rooms are cleaned several times a day. The hotel is located at a great place. We had a very good experience in the hotel SPA.

Talal Kuwait

Heather United States of America

Beautifully designed, classic architecture, unparalleled location, impeccable service, fantastic food, amicable and efficient staff.

Jimbowesto Canada

The staff was excellent. Beautiful room and great bed

James United States of America

If you want the most perfect location this is the place. Service was above 10 stars! Front desk, concierge and front door men went up and above to accommodate us. Restaurant service was top notch and Neslie made us feel right at home she is a great asset to Sofitel Saint James, London. W/R/T the room..... carpets were not vacuumed when we arrived and renovations going on above our head and at 9 in the morning. I had emailed weeks before our stay to discuss this matter and they said it wouldn’t affect us..... not bad noise but noise in the afternoon and morning. We had just got off a cruise and wanted the best hotel and quietest.....I would say an 7 out of 10. They did offer to move us though after settling in and being tired we just didn’t have the energy to pack up and move rooms. Thanks Sofitel Saint James, London can’t wait till the next time.

Leanne United States of America

    James United States of America

    “If you want the most perfect location this is the place. Service was above 10 stars! Front desk, concierge and front door men went up and above to accommodate us. Restaurant service was top notch and Neslie made us feel right at home she is a great asset to Sofitel Saint James, London. W/R/T the room..... carpets were not vacuumed when we arrived and renovations going on above our head and at 9 in the morning. I had emailed weeks before our stay to discuss this matter and they said it wouldn’t affect us..... not bad noise but noise in the afternoon and morning. We had just got off a cruise and wanted the best hotel and quietest.....I would say an 7 out of 10. They did offer to move us though after settling in and being tired we just didn’t have the energy to pack up and move rooms. Thanks Sofitel Saint James, London can’t wait till the next time.”

      The bathroom doors didn’t have a lock and every time the staff came, they would knock and if I didn’t answer, they would just come in. They did this 3 times a day and a couple of times I was in the bathroom or changing. That I did not like.

      Clean, comfy rooms. Big beds, great location

      • • Stayed 1 night

      1: At a place like this you do not expect the bath and restroom just being almost open to the rest of the room; i.e a western salon like door! No more info needed.. 2: Spa is only available if booked in advance, not flexible, i.e. always occupied and 50 pounds per hour - not acceptable ..

      Very clean, very friendly employees. I had forgotten my wallet, could not pay with ApplePay, i.e. needed cash for everything within the hotel ...

      Clutching at straws but my only gripe is when you have separate bath and shower they should be stocked with separate toiletries

      Rooms, bathroom, communal areas all modern and clean. Bar area was run by attentive staff who were helpful and pleasant

      Always a pleasure at the Sofitel St James. The location is perfect. The rooms are gorgeous, everything at this hotel is done with such care and detail. Whenever I go to London, I stay here.

      Spa needs the be payed separately, which is unusual for a hotel in this category. What was really suprising is the fact, that the Spa is private, i.e. you need to book it in advance and pay by the hours, to use either steam bath or jacuzii in a certain order... What I also found strange was the fact the door to the bath and restroom do not physically close; it is more like a salon entrance .....

      Very supportive and friendly stuff

      Room service menu is short and not well presented. F&B staff should be trained more to learn how to serve the dishes. And every time they serve they should remember this is Sofitel St James ! Chicken on Ceaser salad and Club sandwich should be softer and juicy.But the service was swift.

      Staff members are caring and welcoming. Starting the doormen and throughout the hotel the most staff members are just charming. Nicola at concierge desk is the best of the best indeed ! Rooms at 4th floor are better than in 3rd floor. Bed was extraordinary and perfect.
