Great location and very nice bedrooms.
Pros:

Loved the big comfortable bed, penhaligons toiletries and coffee making facilities

Cons:

Service at breakfast was slow and seemed a bit chaotic.
Check in was slow and there were big queues at check out with only two people on the desk. Having paid upfront for my stay I didn’t like the additional service charges being added to my bill on check out

Einschönes hotel in perfekter Lage
Pros:

Sehr angenehmes Hotel in perfekter Lage. Das Frühstück ist ausgezeichnet!

Cons:

Im Vergleich zu vergangenen Aufenthalten war der Service in der American Bar deutlich schlechter und hat viel an seinem Charme verloren. Wir dort 2 Mal und immer war der Service eher schlecht.

The perfect place to stay in London!
Pros:

Staying at the Stafford is a wonderful experience. The staff goes out of their way to always greet you and make sure you are absolutely comfortable. Our room was lovely and a very nice size. We had a lot of luggage and didn't want to be tripping over it but this definitely wasn't the case. Lots of room, beautiful bath with large shower and separate tub. The bed was very comfortable. It's very close to St. James Ct., Buckingham Palace, etc so we could easily walk to many sites. The Green Park tube station is also very close. There is a very nice restaurant and bar (with a large outdoor area) as well as beautiful sitting areas near the lobby. This hotel was an amazing find for us. Loved staying here!

Cons:

Nothing!

The hotel felt very luxurious and opulent without being too “stuffy” - the staff were without exception, brilliant.
We enjoyed learning about the history of the building, including the wine cellar.
There was nothing we didn’t like.

Excellent service atmosphere food location.
Pros:

Excellent atmosphere all throughout the property.

Cons:

Keep the theme in the bar, but lose all those tacky dusty hats on the ceiling …..does not suit the class of the hotel. It’s the type of thing you would find in an american roadhouse whose time has passed.
