This is my go-to hotel in London. In a huge city, The Stafford is centrally located and within walking distance of many theatres and museums. Jermyn Street with its wonderful shops for gentlemen is essentially next door. The Green Park tube station is a three minute walk away through a pedestrian tunnel that leads to park itself. While not far from one of the most trafficked streets in London, the hotel itself is located inside an island of calm. You literally can sleep with your windows open. The hotel is superbly maintained and the service is warm and attentive. My only regret is that many of the rooms and suites have been remodeled. Gone is the English country house warmth, replaced by a generic, somewhat depressing “hotel style” of furnishings and decor one might find anywhere. The renovated bedrooms are just as comfortable but they no longer read as English. That said, the assets of this hotel far outweigh the loss of character in many of the bedrooms. (Many charming rooms still remain.) For quiet and convenience, The Stafford can’t be beat.

The Stafford is first class in every way. Amazingly attentive staff and extremely accommodating. This service is the best we have ever had. Great location. We could walk to everything. The hotel itself is beautiful and classic. We love it.

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

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!
