Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Stafford London Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Stafford London is a 'hidden gem' in St James's, steps away from St James's Place, Clarence House, and a private entrance to Green Park for easy access to Buckingham Palace; Spencer House and Winston Churchill's former residence are just across the street. Guests appreciate spacious and well-appointed rooms. While some find the value for money could be better, the hotel stands out with its Afternoon High Teas and proximity to the Green Park Underground Station, making it a convenient base for exploring London.

mixed experience due to service delays

slow breakfastprecarious tub
The breakfast service was quite slow, a real drag when i needed to get going in the morning. it took ages just to get coffee. the in-room breakfast was also late, which wasn't ideal. the room itself had some accessibility issues. There was a step down to the bathroom and the tub was oddly low.

I stayed in a classic king room and it was great. the room had tea and coffee making facilities included (perfect for a morning boost!). i also found two cupboards for hanging clothes. Very useful for keeping things organized. the staff was friendly, especially the doormen (always ready to help!).
The bathroom was very narrow. It could be a tight fit for some.
