i have not stayed at the Stafford as much this year, but it was a great treat to return. From arrival you are made to feel at home by the concierge team, seamless check in all with a warm and welcoming attitude. Special thanks must go to the team at the American bar, to a person they are just wonderful. One of my favourite bars in London

It has been 50 years since my last time at Stafford hotel, but after returning yesterday with my daughter I had to give a special mention to PK (Pankaj) for his outstanding customer service. His hospitality was fantastic, and he truly went above and beyond for us. He is a real asset to this hotel. Also a special mention to the American bar staff who were very friendly too. Alain

Hospitality is a hallmark of Filipino culture. So, I think I know a thing or 2 about that H word. As soon as we stepped out of our ride, we were greeted with,” welcome home” which was unexpected but heartwarming. It’s usually, “welcome to (name of establishment)”. There were 6 of us and we were taking different rooms. There were enough staff to take us to our rooms and acquaint us with the amenities of Stafford Hotel, We were treated royally all the days we were there. Staff were professional but our interaction with them was congenial and warm whatever time of day or night. It starts from the top, I’ve heard it said. I researched the background of Stafford’s General Manager, John McLean. He has an impressive experience running five star properties all over the world and it shows. While there, ask to see the wine cellar and its impressive collection of fine wines. More than that, it has remnants of world war 2 history which I find really interesting. Check out the American Bar, one of the longest surviving American Bars in London. Ask about the memorabilia on display while you enjoy your expertly crafted drinks and small bites like we did. The Sunday Roast is a must! There were well traveled foodies in our party. We all agreed that every course was a treat to the eyes and the palate. The next time we’re in London, I have no second thoughts about staying at Stafford again. I highly recommend.

I’ve been to London many times but not in many years. I’m staying at the Stafford Hotel it is perfect. My junior suite is great. The staff are wonderful. The American bar is the best sophisticated bar I’ve been in for years This year I’ve been to Splendido in Portofino and here. I highly recommend them both. They are perfect.

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!
