From the moment you arrive at the front door of the hotel, you are made to feel welcome (without anything feeling 'over the top'). Check in was a doddle and the luxury room, while smaller than similarly classed rooms in other cities, was excellent. The front desk had asked if we were celbrating anything during our stay; it was our wedding anniversary and, later in the evening when we returned from a stroll, a bottle of wine in an ice bucket had been delivered compliments of the hotel. The restaurant (Brasserie Albert Roux) was very good and the bar has something to suit every taste (and a word of acknowledgement to the bar manager, Matthieu, who runs a top notch establishment and does so in the most relaxed and friendly way possible). The location of the hotel cannot be beaten - 2 minutes stroll from both Trafalgar Square, PIccadilly Circus, the Mall etc. Taxis are always available for trips further afield (a cab to Harrods costs about £7). There is nothing I can complain about here - I would always go back when visiting London.

Out of the three hotels we stayed in during our month in London this was our favourite. Great location in the centre of London. Could walk everywhere from there. Loved the beds. Was like sleeping on clouds. The staff were all great. Have no complaints.

Stayed at the Sofitel with my husband for one night in October.
The decor is lovely, the staff very friendly and helpful.
The hotel is also very well located, an easy stroll to theatreland. Also very convenient for other areas such as Regent Street and Covent Garden.
The rooms are a good size and very well presented. They also include an Ipod docking station, which is a plus if you like to listen to music.
The breakfast is very good too. Good choice of hot and cold food, all very tasty.
Would defintely stay here again.

I'm an avid user of tripadvisor, but have never left a review. I was so pleased with my stay at the Sofitel St. James that I had to share my experience. My friend and I traveled to London at the end of September.. we stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. Jumped off the nearby Piccadilly Circus tube from the airport, walked a couple of blocks to the hotel and were met by the doorman outside before going inside to a friendly and well dressed lobby. The room was great.. clean and stylish. Enjoyed the full english breakfast and staff were great. Loved Sofitel St. James so much we booked Sofitel Hotel Scribe for our 3 day stay in Paris. The experience, just as pleasant as London. Cherio St. James!

Fantastic place. Wonderful, spacious room with all the amenities. Great service, entire staff just wonderful. Top location easy walking distance to Trafalgar Square, Charing Cross, Picadilly Circus, St. James Park. We just spent a whole week here and would recommend this hotel to anyone. Free internet connection called Lite but plenty fast enough. Super high speed for an additional charge but you won’t need it.
Restaurant is very expensive for breakfast but, surprisingly, not for dinner.
