My stay at Sofitel London St. James was excellent.
The staff were very attentive and swift in terms of my requests.
And there is a staff member named Jinny who was especially helpful. She showed my family the whole hotel and even made a reservation for the dinner at the restaurant. Plus, she gave us all information about the history of the building itself.

We came to the hotel to celebrate a birthday and a wedding anniversary and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. They put two pieces of cake in our bedroom and gave us a handwritten card saying congratulations. The area around the hotel is lovely, very walkable, and so easy to get to shows.
