If you are planning a Christmas trip, I promise you, this is where you want to stay! There was even a little Christmas tree in our beautiful room. Staff are so helpful and friendly. This was our second visit to this property and there was a bottle of champagne in our room when we checked in. Lovely place to stay, best location in London

I highly recommend the Stafford!

A fantastic stay in every way. The staff were highly attentive and helpful, the rooms were comfortable and quiet, everything is kept immaculately clean, and the dining and afternoon tea were wonderful (and I loved the American Bar - world-class cocktails!). The location is just fantastic - short walks to Green Park and the tube (through the Queen's passage, a tunnel just outside the front door of the hotel that takes you into the park), Buckingham Palace, Westminster, and Piccadilly Circus. This is my go-to London hotel.

This is a great boutique hotel in a very convenient location with great access to the theatre district and Mayfair. A place of solitude amongst the rat-race. The negative is it is too pricey!
