Excellent hotel off Piccadilly in St James. Traditional English decor. Very comfortable room and beds and bedding. Only negative……the bathroom walls need repainting and new wallpaper. Actually my bathroom had wallpaper painted white that was looking tired and peeling in spots. They do not offer upgrades or a free breakfast or two even tho I’ve stayed here many times. But a nice hotel with excellent value for the money in an excellent neighborhood. It’s probably. 4-4 1/2 star but still excellent.

Love staying at The Stafford. Could not be more conveniently located. Rooms are not spacious but they are extremely comfortable and well appointed. Staff are friendly and professional. The iconic American Bar is not to be missed (but I would not recommend the so-called Caesar salad).

This was our first time staying at the hotel and we had a lovely hotel. The staff are warm and welcoming. We had a cosy room with a very comfortable bed. It’s lovely to sit and have a drink in the American bar and to have coffee in the breakfast area. We would definitely come again

Hotel location and access to the Tube were unmatched. Lobby, halls, and room were well-maintained - elegant without being overwrought. Being at the end of a right-angle dead-end street, it was quiet. Staff were just OK. Not unpleasant, but I don't think I saw a single smile. I don't necessarily expect US levels of obsequience, but an occasional smile or pleasantry would have been appreciated (especially when a large number of the clientele are Americans). Of note is the addition of a considerable ( I believe it was £30 / night) "discretionary" service charge on the final bill. I had left a tip for the maid on the bed when I left, and felt that a total £210 for our stay was way too much. I decline the fee. I'm not sure what's worse - a discretionary service charge or the more common practice in the US of "resort fees". Despite this, it was a very pleasant stay.

The Stafford is a lovely respite in a busy city. The staff adhere to old world service standards, always greeting guests as they come and go and helping with directions and dining options. The public areas are welcoming with a quiet sense of luxury. We enjoyed dining in the hotel restaurant for breakfast and the historic American Bar for lunch and late-night drinks. The rooms provide a classic level of comfort, however our room was very small. The Stafford is located in a regal neighborhood, just blocks from Buckingham Palace, adjacent to Green Park and within walking distance to the West End and Regent Street shopping. Overall, The Stafford provides a quiet, well-appointed home-away-from-home while visiting London.

A hotel that is like home
The Stafford is always a convenient and wonderful place to stay in London. In the middle of everything, it is quietly tucked away from the hustle of the city but just a few steps to everything you may wish to experience. The staff is attentive but discreet and ever so helpful. Every visit is a pleasure.
