I have just had yet another spectacular stay at the Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences. I was welcomed back with the usual genuine warmth that I have come to expect from this wonderful place. As ever the service was impeccable and the accommodation out of this world, particularly as I was given the most amazing upgrade to the most luxurious suite I have ever stayed in. Thank you to everyone at the Taj for another world class stay. I would not wish to stay anywhere else when I have occasion to visit London.

This is actually student housing that moonlights as a “hotel” during the summer break. It’s generally fine, but the bed and the rooms are ridiculously small. This might be fine for a single student, but for a couple - as we were - there just isn’t enough room in the bed or elsewhere. The cheaper price notwithstanding, not good value for money.

I can not say enough good things about this hotel. From the attentiveness of the staff to the location, everything is always amazing. The Cadogan will always be our home away from home in London!
