Top St. James Palace Hotel Reviews

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, well located. Close to tube & shops for water/snacks. Staff helpful & welcoming. Didn’t try the food. My room was clean & bed comfy but I opted for a single & it was a very small room. Safe would not open because of how it was drilled into the cabinet. It was a very practical & safe place to stay & happy to recommend it."

The Royal Horseguards, London

8/10 Good

"Great location, but I was put in a bit of a shoebox of a room. Not sure if all the rooms are like that. But I have hotels.com VIP status, and neither was it recognized nor did I get offered an upgrade (which should be automatic). The hotel is clean, which is good. But it’s really more like a four star posing as a five star."

Assembly Leicester Square

8/10 Good

"The location is excellent; close to the underground transport, restaurants, excellent cafes and Chinatown (lots of less expensive food options) and many tourist attractions. The room is quite small, especially the bathroom sink. A faucet with a bit more counter space would be much more convenient and comfortable. Overall, pleasant for a short stay."

St. James' Court, A Taj Hotel, London

10/10 Excellent

"This is the 2nd time we have stayed at St James and it just gets better everytime. The rooms are wonderful and the facilities superb. The location is 2nd too non and the food fantastic. We had the Midsummer Night's dream Afternoon tea which was delicious and a great experience. However, the highlight are the staff! We have been made to feel very special everytime we have been there and this time was next level. Prativa made the check in a very special experience and couldnt have been more helpful, the concierges Jean and William were amazing and really helped us out and it was fantastic to meet Binayak, who was so helpful in helping us with our next stay and Amar and Krishnanaveni who looked after us in the bar! The staff are amazing and are the main reason we go back! I have missed so many great people out! Thank you all, especially Prativa and Binayak! Binayak kolagi - Dherai Dhanybhad, ekdam ramro manche cha. Shyabash bhai! Dhanybad :)"
