“Wonderful stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
4
people found this review helpful

My husband and I have been living in London, on and off, for three years. We have stayed in many hotels and short term lease flats. Our last trip, which was in January, one of our favorite hotels, The St James Crowne Plaza, was booked. They suggested 51 Buckingham Gate, right next door. WOW....what a delight. Everything about this hotel is 5 star. The suites are beautiful but, truly, the service was exceptional. Breakfast is included and served in the quaint, cozy library. Each evening, between 6:30 and 8:30pm they serve complimentary cocktails and lovely appetizers. We will NEVER Shay elsewhere, if possible. Truly a pleasure!!

Dear mag774,

Thank you so very much for your wonderful review and most of all for following the advise from my colleagues at our sister hotel the Crowne Plaza London St James to try 51 Buckingham Gate.

I am delighted to know that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and found your suite and the service you received to your liking.

It is also wonderful to know that you enjoyed your morning breakfast and you decided to book a package with your breakfast included, The Libary is indeed a very cozy place to relax and enjoy the extensive breakfast offering in the morning and of course you also have the choice to take your breakfast in the privacy of your suite if so you desire.

The complimentary drinks and canapes is a lovely way to start your evening before you go out for dinner or to the teatre and The Library transforms itself into a very intimate setting with its candles and soft music playing in the background.

I very much look forward to welcome you back again at 51 Buckingham Gate soon and to make of our hotel your most favourity hotel in London.

Best wishes

“Fantastic family trip to London”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
4
people found this review helpful

We had the pleasure of traveling to London the week before Christmas. We had begun communicating with the concierge months prior to our visit. They were very helpful booking dinner reservations and theater tickets. The concierge Nelson was fantastic once we arrived there as well. The units are beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The modern kitchens were so convenient with the family. The hotel is steps from Buckingham Palace and centrally located to all the London sites. All the staff were extremely helpful particularly the managers.
We would highly recommend this property to families staying in London.

“Too good to put into one sentence.”

I have stayed in quite a few hotels in London, including The Savoy, but have never felt the need to write a review.....until now. My husband and I stayed for two nights in a Junior Apartment, and from the moment we stepped through the door, the staff couldn't do enough for us. Everyone was so friendly and obliging. They made us feel as though we were the only guests. The apartment was fantastic, with every thought put into the layout and amenities. If I ever stay in London again, then this is where I will definitely return to. Thank you once again for your kindnesses.

“Luxurious suites and serviced apartments close to the Queen!”

Excellent experience! We took advantage of a promotional offer and received a free upgrading to a more spacious apartment. Sumptuous breakfast. Very gentle people at the concierge. Ideal for families, especially if you consider the rarity of family rooms in London. We will return to this hotel the next time we are in London.

51 BG is a great hotel. We had a two room suite with living area, kitchen and laundry facilities and it was a perfect place to relax. Facilities are top notch and the service is exemplary. Nelson, the concierge, knows his stuff and is a pleasure to deal with. Thanks 51 BG
