Quiet Oasis

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

There’s something incredibly special about staying at The Stafford London. In a city as busy and fast-moving as London, it somehow manages to feel calm, personal, and almost hidden away from the world. From the moment I arrived, the service felt genuine. Not forced, not scripted, just warm, thoughtful hospitality from people who clearly care. The team made everything feel effortless and welcoming, which is rare these days. The room was beautiful, comfortable, and full of character. What I loved most was the feeling the hotel gives you. It’s elegant without trying too hard and filled with a sense of history and nostalgia that makes you slow down and appreciate where you are. It feels like old London in the best possible way. After long days in the city, returning to The Stafford felt peaceful and familiar, almost like coming home. Quiet corners, timeless charm, and a level of comfort that is difficult to explain until you experience it yourself. A truly memorable stay and without question one of the most genuinely welcoming hotels I’ve experienced in London.

The London Stafford Once Home to SOE Agent Nancy Wake

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

The Stafford London that dates from the 17thC is a spectacular highly reputed 5 star venue in the heart of London concealed elegantly in the St James Mayfair mews. On a recent drinks only visit to the American Bar garden veranda I supped the famed sassy cider with my son in law and we were patently regaled by the exceptional hospitality and polite courtesy of the duty staff. The Stafford London was also where one of the most renowned British SOE Agents Nancy Wake (1912-2011) stayed 2001/3 stayed as an esteemed and possibly most renowned guest, with part of her bills paid by the Prince Of Wales. Nancy Wake was dubbed `The White Mouse' 1943-45 by the brutal Nazis who hunted her down day and night and all members and some estimated 700 escapees on the Pat O`Leary French Resistance freedom route from Marseilles, when she served relentlessly as a fugitive courier and constantly remained on the roulette wheel of capture, torture and certain execution. Nancy Wake was awarded the WW2 George Medal, French Legion of Honour, the Medal of Freedom from the US and Australia and Badge of Gold from NZ where she was born. Lest We Forget

Can’t wait to visit the Stafford London again! Perfect location near St. James’s palace, easy to get anywhere. Wonderful made to order breakfast, room very comfy, staff outstanding and helped with anything we needed from theater tickets to tours. Our favorite was The American Bar- truly the best!

A hotel Gem in London

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

A truly lovely low key boutique 5 star hotel in a perfect part of London…walking distance to major shopping, Buckingham and next to the lovely Green park, and tube station. Staff are exceptional, the dining and tea area is beautifully appointed and the food is wonderful. We have stayed in the Carriage house twice….lovely! They have a very special bar ..”The American Bar” with sports caps hanging from all over the world …a very unique part of the ambiance. We will be back!

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!
