Room was just OK and considering the price paid for it. I guess I was expecting something more. Good things were that the bed was nice and cozy and the breakfast was so delicious. It was delivered to my room at no extra cost because I woke up too late to go down during the breakfast opening hours. They also regularly checked in on me via text. Few moans are that the shower was lukewarm and the view from the room was of a brick wall.

Loved the hotel rooms were lovely staff are great . What ruin the whole experience was the car rally that was going on 10 till 1 am the Noise was terrible in the room the floor was shaking and I don’t understand why you put a family in the front room at the hotel when you know that’s been going on over the weekend I know it’s not your fault but i could not get my son to sleep

Dear Mrs r., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Sofitel London St James. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. As mentioned upon your departure the noise disruption at the front of the hotel was caused by a meeting of sports cars. This issue is a regular one that is however not punctual so we cannot know in advance. We have followed up again the issue with the council and local police to increase awareness and reactivity. I am once again very sorry for the inconvenience, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly should you require any assistance in the future. Sincerely, Amelie Hacking Assistant Front Office Manager
