Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Althoff St James'S Hotel & Club offers a tranquil and luxurious experience in the heart of London, within easy walking distance of major attractions and close to tube stations for convenient travel. Guests consistently praise the excellent afternoon tea, comparable to renowned venues like the Savoy and Claridges, complete with unlimited Prosecco and interesting art.

mixed feelings about a so-called superior room

non-functioning thermostat limited space

the location was acceptable with convenient access to nearby attractions.

i booked a superior room expecting a certain level of comfort but it felt more like a repurposed closet there was barely any room to move around even without luggage and the single chair seemed like an afterthought to add insult to injury the thermostat didn't work at all leaving me at the mercy of the building's central heating system.
