6 Lovely Days in Centre of London
Pros:

Stayed for 6 days at the Trafalgar as a family of three. The service and welcome was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and the team really shone when dealing with our 6 year old boy. We also had a celebration with family and friends there which again was excellent. The location is unbelievable and taking our son down to see the palace etc which is minutes away was a delight. He played each day in St James Park. Highly recommend.

25th Anniversary Trip: Wonderful hotel in a fantastic location
Pros:

We spent 5 days in London for our 25th Anniversary. We loved The Trafalgar St. James Hotel. We wanted to be on Trafalgar Square: We have studied the Battle of Trafalgar since college, never forgetting Nelson's command to his fleet as he attacked the combined French and Spanish Fleet off Cadiz, Spain, "England expects every man will do his duty". Consequent to Nelson's victory, Napoleon's Grande Armée could never attempt an invasion of England!

Only a few steps from Trafalgar Square and the hotel is "The Mall" - a wide avenue pointing straight at Buckingham Palace with Royal St. James Park on either side and Hyde Park just beyond. We walked and ran in St. James Park and Hyde Park. His Majesty's Theater is a five minute walk from this hotel. The Phantom of the Opera is still there and we attended a wonderful afternoon matinee performance. Recommended - and what we did - and easy to reach from this hotel: High Tea at Aqua Shard on the 31rst floor of the Shard and the nearby Borough Market where we enjoyed paella with lobster tails at Furness Fish Grill.

This recently renovated hotel is spotless with great modern amenities. Our room was on the 3rd floor and was quiet and very comfortable. We were fully at ease and we felt safe at all times in this hotel and we rested and slept very well. The hotel staff and concierge were friendly, highly competent and most helpful and they added substantially to the wonderful time we had in London for our Anniversary.

We beg understanding regarding our photos: We took no photos of the hotel itself because we think the available hotel brochures do the hotel justice. We wanted to show the many nearby wonders and adventures surrounding this great hotel.
