The Sofitel St James was nice but definitely not worth the price we paid. I did not feel that this was a true luxury hotel. The beds were also very uncomfortable. I believe that I did not get the room I paid for as I had a combined shower and tub but was supposed to have a separate one. The location was nice with everything close by.

Beautiful hotel, with elegant rooms, excellent service and in a wonderful location. It was decked out for Easter, which was a special extra touch. We had drinks in their hip, but comfortable bar, and dinner in the Wild Honey Bistro. Other than a small issue with the TV in our room, which was fixed, it was a perfect stay.

My stay at Sofitel London St. James was excellent. The staff were very attentive and swift in terms of my requests. And there is a staff member named Jinny who was especially helpful. She showed my family the whole hotel and even made a reservation for the dinner at the restaurant. Plus, she gave us all information about the history of the building itself.
