My friend Maria and I enjoyed a truly wonderful stay at the Stafford Hotel, London, from June 27 to July 1, 2026. The location of the Stafford on St. James Place is perfect, tucked away on a quiet street in Piccadilly, adjacent to Green Park. It is conveniently located near all the attractions of central London. The hotel is beautifully maintained. We stayed in a Carriage House suite above a lovely courtyard with outdoor table service. Outstanding breakfasts were accompanied by excellent service. Most importantly, the Concierge staff led by Robert was extraordinarily helpful with dinner reservations, Wimbledon tickets and many knowledgeable and helpful suggestions. Simply first class service, gracious service. We have nothing but high praise for the Stafford and its team and we look forward to a return visit soon.

The Stafford is a beautiful, elegant and understated hotel located within walking distance of everything- Green Park, Buckingham Palace, Covent Garden, West End, Westminster Abbey and multiple museums. We did not even use the Tube to get anywhere. Hidden on a side street, it is exceptionally quiet despite being in the middle of everything. The staff is polite, friendly and helpful. Rooms and common areas are impeccable.

Our stay at The Stafford London was great. Our room was fabulous and as advertised. The staff was very very friendly and always seeking to help. The restaurant service and food were superb. American bar was fun! The concierge team was very helpful, especially Robert. I can not say enough about how The Stafford made out trip very successful.

I visited the Stafford hotel in London for about a week with my 14-year-old son in June 2026. By far and away, this is the best five star hotel in which I’ve stayed. The staff is intelligent, elegant and dedicated to making sure their guests are happy. The accommodations are outstanding. The bed linens were like silk and the towels were always so fluffy and soft. The food is divine. Room service all the restaurants just heavenly. The location cannot be beat. And getting out and about from the hotel is super easy, especially with the assistance of their staff —who are always at the ready. I also recommend asking staff for assistance in activities to do around and beyond London and restaurants to try. They are extremely knowledgeable. Akshar and Katherine and Nick helped us navigate around with ticketing and timing throughout our stay. If you care about cleanliness, luxury comfort, amazing food, and smart customer service — this is the place to stay.

I recently stayed at your property. First, I want to commend the housekeeping team. The maid service was exceptional, and their hard work did not go unnoticed. Their attention to detail contributed positively to our comfortable stay. However, I need to share some concerns about the restaurant and bar experiences. Across my group, we encountered consistently negative interactions with staff, including perceived rudeness and delays in service. This issue affected our overall impression of the property and led us to limit dining and drinking on-site. I have heard similar feedback from other guests as well. I believe in fairness and constructive feedback, and I hope you will view this as an opportunity to address a service gap in your dining outlets. If possible, I would appreciate:

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!
