St. James' Court, A Taj Hotel

After arriving a day late as I'd made a mistake booking, Sandeesh on reception was my saviour! He found me a lovely room, reassured me and included breakfast. Diego was so welcoming and took charge of my cases. After a fraught day, it was lovely to be taken care of. My room was stunning, spacious and just what was needed to relax. The bed and pillows were comfortable so I slept well. Breakfast was lovely. A HUGE thank you to Sandeesh and Diego, it was my third visit to St James's, and I'll definitely be back again thanks to the wonderful staff.

We love staying at the Taj, it’s become one of our favourite London hotels and somewhere we genuinely enjoy coming back to. We usually book through Booking.com and always seem to get a great deal, a lovely room, quite often an upgrade and, very importantly to me, a bath! The location just works for us. We love heading out for a good morning walk, so being able to step outside and get some miles in while enjoying London is a big part of why we return. The food is always good, the rooms are spotless and the staff are consistently warm, friendly and brilliant at what they do. It’s simply one of those hotels where we feel comfortable, looked after and very happy to return.

This is a huge, sprawling hotel in a great location close to St James's Park and tube station. Check-in was average...no welcome drink or amenities in our room despite holding Silver status. Also, we received an email the week before asking if we were celebrating a special occasion. We responded that it was actually our anniversary but there was absolutely no recognition of the fact at check-in or during our stay...what was the point in asking beforehand? We were allocated a recently refurbished executive room overlooking the courtyard. It was a reasonable size but only had a queen size bed. The shower room was smallish but was modern and clean. The room included most mod cons such as a coffee machine, robes, slippers, and USB sockets next to the bed. The SPA is located in the basement and included a sauna, steam room and plunge pool/jacuzzi. There's also an adjacent gym which was quite well equipped for a hotel gym. Overall, our experience at the hotel was fairly average...particularly service. Out of all the hotels in the St James's Park area that we have stayed at, this was probably our least favourite.

An honest review Mr Binoy is affable and hospitable at the concierge of the st james court a taj hotel . Mr Diego is affable as well. The stay each time has been pleasant . Wishing them and team at the hotel best wishes ……… ………….,…..,,,,………………..

We especially loved the location of the hotel. It is excellent for exploring London, with very good connections by Tube and bus and easy access to many of the main attractions. Coming from Dubai, we already know and appreciate the Taj brand. The hospitality was as expected — perhaps not extraordinary, but certainly professional and with nothing negative to point out. Our room was probably the strongest part of the stay. We were travelling as a family of three with our 14-year-old son, and the room was more than spacious enough, with a generous entrance area, a good-sized and well-equipped bathroom, and all the amenities we needed. Even the water pressure was surprisingly good considering the age of the building. The extra bed provided for our son was also very comfortable, which is not always the case in hotels. Our room faced the courtyard, which we really enjoyed. It provided a peaceful escape from the noise and bustle of the city and made the room feel particularly calm. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would comfortably recommend the hotel to both families and couples. One small observation for international travelers is that a large proportion of the guests during our stay appeared to be from India, which also reflects the strong recognition of the Taj brand among Indian travelers.
