Top St. James Palace Hotel Reviews

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Superb location and venue. My favourite place to stay in London"

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

8/10 Good

"Two points of feedback - 1 - the seemingly “pumped in” scent in the hotel, especially in the lobby area, is so strong, perfume-y and unpleasant to breathe in. I would never stay again on that basis. A shame, as all else was good. 2 - One of the days, we returned to our room late in the afternoon, and our door had been left wide open by the cleaning staff."

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

10/10 Excellent

"Great place in a great location. Everything is immaculately clean. Pods are a decent size (for a pod) and nice and comfy. Will definitely be back."
