Reviews for St. James' Court, A Taj Hotel

Lovely hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 23 hours ago

I enjoyed the hotel - I was here for a business trip. It’s beautifully furnished and nice and quiet. You can faintly hear the tube trains rumbling underneath, but not enough to stop you sleeping. I didn’t eat here so can’t vouch for that (there is a nice cafe across the road). V central for Buckingham Palace and St James’ park.

Nice room, shame about the noise

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

Arrived and was allocated Room 246. A lovely room. It was a bit strange to get to as you have to pass through the courtyard and the hairdressers but it was a lovely room. Large comfy bed, clean and all was good. UNTIL - the tube started vibrating. It was also very adjacent to a lift shaft so I don’t think that helped either. But the noise was not good and disturbed my sleep. Seeming as the 2 night stay has cost me over £800!!! It was a special occasion I thought I would ask if there was a different room available. I was just given the explanation that I’m in the middle of London and it was to be expected, and no I couldn’t move. I then emailed reception to complain and was allocated Room 619 for the second evening. This room was much quieter. It wasn’t as nice as the original 246 but there was no noise & vibration from the lift & tube. Breakfast is an experience. Not what you would expect. If you’re looking for a traditional fry up then you’re going to be disappointed! What was available was nice, lovely selection of breads, fruit, etc. but it was quite busy and disjointed. All in all I wouldn’t stay here again as it’s just not worth the money. If you can get a deal then maybe, but personally it’s not for me.

Wonderful Stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

We had a real wonderful stay at the Taj. The breakfast was super. A big surprise was Indian Breakfast. We really enjoyed it. I would definitely stay there on my next visit. The location is great, and the staff is really friendly. I loved the whole experience.

Everyone is nice and warm

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

The hotel is nice and clean, it is one block from buckingham palace and all the parks around it which makes it a great place to stay. Food and drinks are great. Everything is great, But their most important feature is the service, you feel at home once you step in the lobby, Biurik at the front desk was amazingly warm and welcoming and so was everybody else, Thank you, we had a great stay!

I expected more

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

As an American Express Platinum client, I had high expectations for this 5-star hotel in London, which is undoubtedly beautiful and boasts an excellent location. However, the experience didn't quite meet the high standards anticipated. The 'studio for 3' bedroom, while elegantly decorated, felt cramped and somewhat restrictive for three guests. The breakfast, although offering a good selection of quality food, was marred by slow and confusing service, detracting from the overall dining experience. This hotel has great potential but needs to refine its guest services to truly deliver a five-star experience.
