Wonderfull hotel, great location, right on the center (5 min. away of Picadilly). Perfect service, staff very helpfull and smiling. Food for breakfast and dinner excellent and it's a "miracle" for London. Room are big and very quiet, with nice furniture. Sure that next time we are coming in London we will book our room in Sofitel St James. Absolutly... more

Have stayed at the Sofitel St James on more occasions that I can recall. The welcome from the staff has always been first rate, and the service continues to be impeccable. The "free" (for which read, "included in the price, but not itemised") Internet access and mini bar are worthwhile. While the public areas remain in excellent condition, the rooms... more

Everything about this hotel was perfect. It is upscale and a bit trendy, but even if you show up in t-shirt and jeans the staff give you 5-star treatment. There's no snobbishness. Great value (I paid about $350/night and my room was upgraded), and perfect location - steps away from Piccadilly Circus, but still in a quiet corner of central... more

Wow! I just returned from a trip to London and could not be happier with my stay at the Sofitel St.James. The staff was very friendly beginning at arrival and all throughout my stay. The hotel is beautiful, classy, but not stuffy. I did not partake in the breakfast in the hotel restaurant because I thought it was too pricey... more

Only a a few steps away from the Piccadilly Circus tube station, this hotel is very centrally located. The rooms are very elegant, and have probably the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in a hotel. All of course comes at a price (as everything in London!). more

The Sofitel St. James is a great hotel. Our room was a very good size, (for London). The beds were very comfortable and there was ample closet space. The bathroom was very spacious and they had very nice toiletries. The Continental Breakfast is good but it's not cheap at 21 pounds per person. The staff were very helpful, especially when... more

This is a truly fantastic hotel with great service and a great location, just minutes from Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. The room was large and well furnished. The hallway of our room was larger than some hotel rooms in London! The room itself was spacious with a desk, couch, coffee table and very comfortable king sized bed with plenty... more

This was the first leg of our five week Europe excursion and it was simply superb. The loctaion was as good as it gets and overall couldn't be faulted. All staff were so helpful, deluxe rooms incredibly spacious with the beds being the closest thing to heaven. I read all the review and i thanks to them i decided to... more

Great hotel. Great location. Great room which although classes as the standard room and so the smallest was perfectly adequate. Much bigger than other hotels I have stayed in for more money in London. Hunt for a great room rate as can save lots over published rates. We used expedia about a month before travelling, Beware the bar. £9 for... more

We stayed at the Sofitel London St James for one night, for our 10th Wedding Anniversary. Having booked a 5* hotel, we were curious to see what our money was going to buy us. We had no need to be worried! From the outside, the hotel really does look the part, with a very friendly doorman always present. It is... more
