Reviews for The Stafford London
Perfect
The location, charm, and authenticity of the place, not to mention the availability and discretion of the staff, allowed us to enjoy a pleasant family stay.

I booked afternoon tea at The Stafford Hotel to celebrate my friend’s 50th birthday, following a recommendation. The afternoon tea arrived and the sandwiches were lovely. However, after finishing them, no one returned to ask if we would like more. We eventually had to request additional tea and sandwiches. While the tea arrived promptly, our empty plate was cleared and we then waited nearly 30 minutes for the sandwiches to arrive, by which time the tea had gone cold. We continued with the scones and pastries, which were fine, and shortly afterwards our table was cleared. I had hoped there might be some small acknowledgement of my friend’s birthday, but unfortunately there was none. Overall, the experience felt underwhelming and disappointing, particularly given the occasion and the hotel’s reputation. We have visited many five-star hotels in London where the service and attention to detail have been consistently exceptional, and sadly this did not match those experiences.

Excellent London base
A beautiful hotel and well-positioned with excellent staff, comfy rooms and a great bar. We have visited for many years.

Stellar service, location, and people
The hotel is perfectly located and offers excellent facilities. The staff were exceptional- warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A special thank you to the wonderful doorman, Sergio from Ukraine, who shared a fascinating (though lengthy!) story about Nancy Wake. We were truly impressed. He was also extremely helpful with taxi arrangements, and it was a pleasure to speak with him and to learn about the rich history of The Stafford. A truly delightful hotel that I would happily recommend to everyone.

Stay away from restaurant
We have been to the Stafford twice now. Both times the restaurant was horrible. Impossible to get even a cup of coffee and if you want a full meal be prepared to wait multiple hours. It is total chaos. Rooms are quite nice and area is fantastic but don’t eat here.

It's all about the staff at The Stafford! My favorite hotel in London and probably in the world! If you can't stay there stop by the bar...not to be missed. Look it up when you're there.

My cousin and I had the most fabulous trip! The Stafford London was the most perfect, wonderful hotel, and we could not be any happier!
The staff was amazing, and yes, please let Alan and Nick know how much they helped us, as this was my very first trip to London!
We so appreciated the perks, and enjoyed the wine in our room!
