The Stafford London

A lovely gem in St. James. Perfectly crafted Chicken Kiev and delicious fish pie. Everything was perfect,including the service. There was a wide selection of salmon which we didn't have a chance to try. Next time.

We stayed at the Stafford Hotel for 3 nights in a classic king room. The room was a bit on the small side (especially with 2 suitcases) but it had a high ceiling, so it didn't feel small. We had a wonderful comfortable bed! A/c worked great, which was good because it was hot and humid in London. Great location, next to Green Park, St. James Park and the tube, 5 minutes walk to Shepherd Market, where there are great ethnic restaurants (Persian, Lebanese, French) as well as several pubs. Can walk to Westminster and Parliment House, and Buckingham Palace. The service in the hotel was beyond our expectations, especially Peter, the concierge. After we got on the plane, my husband realized he had forgotten to pack some medication, which he takes daily. He quickly emailed the hotel and asked if they could help with locating a doctor. By the time we arrived, Peter had already contacted a doctor, and the doctor was on the phone with my husband within 10 minutes of checking into our room. He called a script in to a nearby pharmacy, and the meds were delivered to our room in the hotel about an hour later. We were most appreciative and impressed! We had dinner one night at the Game Bird, the formal restaurant in the hotel. We also had great service there from our waiter. I had the Dover sole and it was so good! My husband had the fillet, which was done the way he likes it. A bit on the expensive side, but to be expected in a hotel restaurant. Breakfast in the American Bar on the outside patio was a completely different experience. The patio was full of guests, and there were only 2 waitresses. We were seated at a table a ways away from the entry to the hotel/restaurant, and after waiting for about 10 minutes for someone to come over, we moved to a recently vacated table closer in. Again, we waited for a menu, and waited more for coffee/tea. We heard the people at the table next to us complaining that they had been waiting for 45 minutes for their breakfasts, and we got worried. Finally, so many people were complaining that one of the supervisors came outside, and then got more waiters to pick up the service. They definitely had a problem with the service that day, which you wouldn't expect in a hotel like the Stafford.

The Stafford London was exactly what I had hoped for. Our stay at the hotel did not disappoint. The location was perfect for exploring London, located on a small quiet street, a beautiful private courtyard to enjoy a glass of wine. We enjoyed a light breakfast in the courtyard -- wonderful way to start the day The staff is professional and friendly. Our room was a jr suite in the Mews, on the 5th floor. A quiet, large, very comfortable and luxurious room. It was exactly as described on their website. The bathroom was a pleasure! Two large stand alone sinks, separate shower and large soaking tub. The courtesy car to the airport was an added pleasure. We enjoyed dinner at The Game Bird -- expertly prepared and beautiful presentation. We peeked into the American Bar and walked around looking at all the photos, but since the weather was so hot when we were there we choose to have our drinks in the courtyard. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend The Stafford London and their restaurant The Game Bird.

Wow wow wow this hotel is heaven and arguably one of the best. Attentive, friendly , knowledgable and polite staff who all go the extra mile to help you. The rooms have everything you would need and the beds are just like sleeping on a cloud. The location is perfect and central for everything. Love the bar and the courtyard perfect on a sunny day. The food is gorgeous and the breakfast �well is one word .....Amazing. I would recommend this hotel ten times over and I can't wait to stay again. Definitely in my top list of hotels to stay.

Really enjoyed our lunch in the sun - a total joy to find such a lovely peaceful spot only minutes away from the noise of Piccadilly. Top-notch service, tasty food, and helpful staff inside when we wandered about after finishing our meal. Would love to stay there one day!
