This was my second trip to stay in the sofitel, on the first I had a room which overlooked a rather grim inner courtyard- so upon return to the establishment i contacted the manager, explained my previous visit and was kindly 'upgraded' to a luxury room with a view. The 'view' turned out to be a fist floor room overlooking... More

We stayed here for one night in a very rainy London. It really is a top notch hotel, amazing service, love the french influence, and the bar and restaurant attached is really lovely serving great cocktails and wines. Yes it's expensive but it's well worth the price and you really can't expect to pay much less for a 5 star... More

Before we'd even got out of our cab, we were experiencing an altogether different Sofitel experience from the previous one. I very much appreciated the umbrella for the short (but oh, so very wet!) transfer from cab to lobby and sure enough, this exemplary service continued throughout our stay. Since we'd arrived before noon, we didn't really expect our room... More

We stayed on the weekend of 28 April. It was a birthday celebration. The one thing that most impressed us was the staff. Not once were we not greeted with a smile. Firstly this is a very French hotel in London, which we enjoy and appreciate. First language is French but once they understand your English their conversation switches into... More

We chose the Sofitel St. James as our base for our family trip in London. Being seven people, three rooms and quite noisy, we were amazed by the friendliness of the staff, the great location, and the perfect setting. The rooms were big, clean and well equipped. It helps if you speak French, but all in all a perfect stay.

We have stayed in many 5* hotels but this was by far the best! The service was spot on and I am hard to please. The rooms are very clean & comfortable. We loved the restaurant very stylish and friendly with excellent food. Location could not be better, so central to everything. We will certainly be back :)

This Sofitel hotel is ideally located in the St. James area of London, within walking distance to many attractions and close to many tube stops. Hotel staff was professional and helpful, the room was well appointed with many premium features, and very quiet. The AC works perfectly, which during a London August heat spell can be blissfully welcome. Double windows... More

We received a very warm welcome when we arrived and were fortunate that our room was available even though we arrived early.
