The Stafford London

I cannot find a single fault with The Stafford, other than the price… but that has to do with the US dollar as well.
The location in St. James is simply the best: A few blocks to Buckingham palace, all those amazing parks, the tube, Piccadilly circus, the British museum. You can easily walk to Fortnum and Mason and a plethora of shops and restaurants.
The included Breakfast was very nice: nice fruits, breads, pastries, cereals, yogurt, eggs, juices, teas, and a few cured meats. The dinning room is simple, tasteful, and elegant.
One dinner was included and it was just amazing. The food and service spectacular. The wine list was pretty impressive as well.
The small pub like bar was cozy and carried wonderful pints and various libations.
Rooms are on the large size for London. I have stayed in what would be the equivalent of a large closet before. Bathrooms are large as well with large soak tubs and showers. The Floras products are a nice touch.
Help is top notch and is always polite and pleasant.
If you really want to treat yourself to a wonderful hotel in London I would definitely recommend The Hotel Stafford. Pricey but worth it!

The Good:
This hotel is not only centrally located but the rooms are HUGE and quiet. Finding all three of these characteristics at a London hotel is not easy.
Breakfast was included in our rate (Amex FHR property) and I still remember how fresh and delicious the eggs and English muffin were.
The Bad:
I really can’t think of anything except that while we were staying here the hotel was being renovated and thus was operating on a sort of temporary basis. Still, the staff did everything they could to be welcoming and accommodating.
Bottom Line:
I haven’t found a better hotel in London for the price yet. My search continues…

This really is a lovely hotel. It almost has a bed and breakfast feel. We had a large party with 8 rooms. There was a bit of confusion with our check-​in, giving things a rough start. The staff wanted to know who was going to be in each room. After 12 hours of traveling and 8 hours of sightseeing, we were exhausted and not in much of a mood to do that.
But it was all uphill from there. They have old fashioned keys to get into the rooms. I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen those. Each room is a little different, though beautiful. Our room was very modern, some were more classic. It was neat comparing each one. There was also a little rubber ducky in the bathtubs. The beds were comfortable and they had an american plug in each room, which was so convenient.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The only warning is that if you ask them for a recommendation for a moderately priced restaurant they will likely send you somewhere expensive by American standards because you are staying there, haha.
We had a wonderful experience at the hotel and overall, I would definitely recommend the Stafford.

After staying in a number of London Hotels, my family and I have been staying here ever since. My mom has been coming to London since the 1960s and she will not stay anywhere else. We have been staying at this hotel for years– the service is impecable, the rooms are beautiful, the restaurant and bar are jewels, and the bathrooms are outstanding in every room. Each room is different and unique and there are no «bad» rooms.
If you want a lovely hotel in a fantastic central location where you can walk to everything, look no further.

I just loved it. Everything was perfect. Thank you.

There are alot of beautiful hotels. The Stafford has to be one of the most beautiful I have even seen.
I stumbled across it during my first trip to London 9 years ago. I fell in love with it instantly. At the time I was poor (relatively speaking), yet determined to stay there even if just for a night.
It came as no suprise that the weather was foul. I’ve been to London four times. Its never been nice.
I had left all of my things at the youth hostel and decided that I wasn’t going to get on the tube and then walk an additional 5 – 10 blocks to grab my toothbrush and a change of clothes. Grateful that I had worn several layers (scarf, peacoat, sweater, tank top) and had brought my book I enterred The Stafford not knowing what to expect. I didnt touch my book until 2 days later.
At the front desk I was told all of the rooms are «different.» I love «different,» «diverse», «unique» and any synonym thereof. The man whose name I don’t remember and maybe he never told me at all, offered to have a staff person show me a few of the rooms before I settled into one. A few, became 10 – 12 and I reveled at the color schemes, textures and general charm and style of each of them.
I spent that entire day in the hotel– the bar– my bathtub– the carriage house– the wine cellar– I sort of crashed a wedding– and I even spent sometime lying on the plush carpetting (not what you think!)
I’m certain I dream of The Stafford from time to time.
It will always be one of my very favorite places to stay.
