The Stafford London

Wrapped up our two-week UK tour with a four-night stay at the Stafford. Could not have ended it with a better hotel choice. Elegant, quiet, spotless. And the service was extraordinary. The staff has an uncanny knack of knowing what you need before you've formed the question! From the initial check-in and concierge assistance to the nightly turn-down service of our room, our stay was like a dream. The only negative? Having to leave.

I was in London to attend a wedding with my daughter and wanted to stay in a classic luxury British Hotel. After reading several reviews and listening to friends recommendations, I chose The Stafford. The Stafford is truly a wonderful place to stay. Our spacious room was beautiful with a very comfortable bed and spotlessly clean. A perfect place to unwind after a hectic day. The staff are gracious and very accommodating. The service and atmosphere of the restaurant and bar are excellent. Lastly, the location of the Stafford is ideal for everywhere you might want to go in London. It's an easy walk to historical sites, shopping, restaurants and the theatre but also very close to a tube or bus stop. I will definitely stay there when I return to London.

Well, let me just start by saying that as four exhausted travelers ambled in to the Stafford hotel in London after "the red eye" from the States, we were instantly lifted by the warmth and enthusiasm of the staff. We were treated like royalty, escorted over to a seating area while waiting for our turn in the queue to check in. Ned was a total blessing - arranging for some coffee and cocoa to warm us. He was interested in hearing about our trip and made a point to greet the children, which I thought was noteworthy. Our server also brought some delicious cookies for the children (wish I had gotten his name as he was most kind throughout our stay). The rooms are lovely and clean. My husband and I stayed on the 5th floor in the main guest house in a room that connected to our children's room. We could catch a glimpse of the London Eye from one of them. I found that our room was quite spacious and always kept quite clean and refreshed. My daughter was delighted that there were small robes just their size - she felt so grown up! The rooms do have a/c - something that our tour guide mentioned was nice in the summer! We dined in the Game Bird each morning (the french toast is divine!!! And I am still dreaming of the wonderful bowl full of fresh berries!!!) The hotel's location is OUTSTANDING. So close to the Tube and within a mile of several sites including Trafalgar Square, St. James Park/Green Park, the SE corner of Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace (the list could go on). They have a jogging map at the front desk if you ask for it! The staff is courteous and welcoming - the general manager, Stuart, made sure that we were all set for a lovely stay. As I mentioned, Ned was just wonderful!!! He left the children a little surprise after our "Harry Potter" tour. We had a lovely stay and hope to return again someday!!!!

The Stafford is tucked away in a side street off St James’s. It is a beautifully maintained old Edwardian building. From the moment one arrives at the front door, the staff make every effort to be helpful and friendly, and anticipate the guests’ every need. The hotel has a quiet and dignified feel like a private club. The rooms are comfortable and quiet. We stayed there over our wedding weekend and the staff made us feel totally at home. They left a bottle of champagne in our room, provided us with a car to the register office, and presented us with a congratulations cake. Small touches which made our visit so special. We dined informally in the friendly American Bar and the food and wine were excellent. We cannot recommend the Stafford more highly.

The hotel has great location, near Picadily street but still in a very nice and small street connect by an alley to Green Park. The place is ellegant and well decorated, the room very nice and super comfortable. Great bed! The only thing that I didn't like very much was breakfast , service was slow and the food wasn't that good. Room service was excellent and the staff is all very polite and efficient.
