I stayed at this hotel 10 years ago and loved it. This stay was even better. As a platinum member I was upgraded to a family suite which was absolutely lovely. Spacious and newly refurbished. As before the staff were amazing. Reception staff were so lovely, efficient and so helpful. Got text messages from Amelie and Marine after check in which was a nice touch. Bar staff also really friendly and efficient. And the concierge’s were wonderful. I was made to feel so special for my short stay. This hotel is lovely, the building is special, the rooms are great, but their main asset is their amazing staff. They were brilliant.

Very impressed with helpful and friendly staff. Lovely comfortable and clean family room. Enjoyed drinks in the ‘cool’ cocktail bar. Well located for walking around West End. When we return, we look forward to dining in Wild Honey (shame it was closed when we visited). We would highly recommend this hotel.

Zeynep D. Business - 10/01/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Hi there, overall experience was great. However; 1- one time they have not changed my linens. 2- I was disturbed by the staff 8 times within 4 hours - and I was having zoom meetings. There was no DND tag in the room..

Dear Mr D., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Sofitel London St James Hotel. I am sorry that your experience did not quite meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. I truly apologies for the number of disturbances in your room while on your online meeting. Our DND signs are linked with our "Make up the room" sign and is a switch situated next the the main door of your room, just next to the light switch. Our housekeeping would only completely change the linens every 2 days unless said linen is soiled or requested by our guests. This is one of the many steps our hotel has in place to reduce our impact on the environment as part of Accor's Planet 21 green programme. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you would like me to update your profile to ensure your linen is changed daily in the future. I would like to thank you once again for taking the time to share your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Amelie Hacking Front Office Manager

Poor service…

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

Octavian1977 05/12/2021 TripAdvisor review

We have been there end of November, and the service was not as expected. As an Accor platinum member, this is the only hotel where I was never upgraded, considering that the hotel was not full is unacceptable. At the checkout I explained them for half an hour the difference between debit and credit card, and when a manager (Marion) finally arrived it seemed they understood… but no.. they did not… and have charged my stay twice, and now I am loosing time with the bank and the hotel to solve this. A bad experience, a good location but poor staff… go for other London hotels.. there are plenty at this price range .. more that 600£/night.

Dear Octavian1977, as a valued ALL platinum guest it is particularly disappointing to hear your feedback. We do indeed have limited availability in the higher room categories but always prioritise loyal guests for complimentary upgrades whenever possible. After checking with the team please rest assured you were only physically charged once here at the hotel and am sorry for any misunderstanding. Regards Marie-Paule Nowlis, General Manager

Our first visit to this Sofitel. Our usual London Hotel is Renovating. From the moment we arrived.. the Bellman, Reception, all welcomed . Our 2nd Day Test was waiting for us with Reception( made the process seamless)..the Lovely Room. Hotel was lovely.. great Doors.. made the Room perfect ..no noise from other Doors. Great Holiday Decirations and a Great Bar for a Drink at the end of a long day.
