What guests think
Across reviews, Althoff St James's Hotel & Club London is praised for its warm, professional staff and prime Mayfair location, with boutique charm and comfortable rooms, though space, noise, and some facility limitations are noted.
The bar and on-site restaurant draw repeated praise, though a few report a limited menu, no Sunday service, or pricey drinks and breakfast. Several reviews note design quirks and occasional operational issues, including unreliable in-room Wi-Fi, malfunctioning AC or heating, false fire alarms, and sporadic lapses such as unprofessional bar service or missed VIP upgrade perks. Overall, expect a polished boutique stay centered on service and location.

The St James Hotel and Club was perfect! It is located in a great location and tucked away on a quiet little street! The staff was excellent and very accommodating. The bar was a nice respite after a long day of touring.

Had to change rooms because there were issues with plumbing, and the outlets were strange outlets that didn't fit UK, Euro, or US plugs. The fire alarm went off 3 times during the stay, one of which was in the middle of the night. Besides that, the property and location were lovely.

Great quiet location in centre of london. High standards of furniture and tidy/cleaniness. Can’t fault the service. Only thing that means I wouldn’t give 5 star is the fire alarm went off at 7:30 as a false alarm on Sunday morning. No their fault, but a note to say sorry and maybe an offer of a complimentary coffee or something would have been nice.

Enjoyed our stay overall. 4/5 A few “niggles”.. staff were good but missed out on opportunities other hotels offer such as taking bags to room, showing you features and how they work in the room; the steam room option in the shower didn’t work, and we had a bit of a sleepless night as we didn’t know how to turn off the dressing room light.. plus the noise from the extractor outside. There was no restaurant option on Sunday, but that wasn’t a problem as we strolled up to The Wolseley. However, the room was large and bed comfortable. Nice turn down service and the bathroom was good. I can’t fault the housekeepers as, whilst the hotels policy is obviously 1 small shampoo to share, our lovely offered more on request. Great to see Penhaligon toiletries as a British brand, but they should have been “Blenheim Bouquet” when making a focus on Churchill as part of the branding!

Lovely quiet boutique hotel just around the corner from the Ritz in Mayfair. Came for the London Christmas lights and weren’t disappointed. The restaurant and bar are top notch. My husband said it was the best Vesper Martini he ever had. Staff were helpful and courteous. No internet TV, but otherwise well appointed room.

The hotel is in a great location, is small and boutiquey (which is nice). The air conditioning units from a hotel close by ensured that we had an irritating deep rumble in our room for our two night which wasn't conducive with a good nights sleep. The room was nice enough, but the balcony we had with our Exec room was rather unlike the one on the website and the bathroom was a little smelly (hence the strong diffuser in there I suspect!)

Great location but the bathroom is a problem. It has a tub with a half door to use for a shower. I am familiar with them but this door seems too small. The first shower ended up with a lot of water on the floor. The next time I was very careful with the door placement and stood as close to the front as I could. Still had to mop the floor. Didn’t use the shower my last day. Need a different door or shower head.

A small but very nice & cozy room with large bathroom with 2 sinks & bath tube. However the room is facing the street, even though it is on a dead end street, every morning, i hear truck noise which woke me up. Wish the furnitures were smaller for the scale of the room so there is a little more room to walk around. Amazing location.

Our room on the sixth floor was lovely; on the small side but with a wonderful balcony. It’s quirks--steps up into the bathroom—were more than offset by its assets—good natural light, excellent bedding, lots of hot water, incredibly quiet. Especially enjoyed the central location—steps from upscale shopping, restaurants, Buckingham Palace, Green Hill tube station.

Sole downside is the WI-FI. It doesn’t work. Each room has a unique password and the wifi connection is in the TV. It connects, runs for a few minutes and disconnects. Then you have to unplug the tv to reset the system. Also, it has only enough bandwidth for oe device at a time. Everything else is quite nice

Stayed during a reception at Buckingham Palace. Room was incredibly small and cramped. Drinks were overpriced. One can only wonder as to the reason for this hotels 5* rating. I’ve stayed in many other hotels that offer much more for much less. View looked on to service shaft, an upgrade believe it or not. You’re paying for the location here, but a premier inn could be a better choice for what you end up getting.

I wish the property had been more flexible about letting me amend the reservation dates at the rates locked in when I first reserved the room. But location is great; staff helpful and courteous; late-night food options to boot. Would stay again.

From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the staff were so friendly and professional. Some of the best we have encountered. The hotel was just what we wanted. Convenient for shopping, dining etc. room had everything we needed too.

Great Location, had visited for work as round corner and really enjoyed small, quiet, service and location...went now for personal...Unfortunately no VIP access upgrades that was in theory in reservation, and should advise on construction work infront of hotel which took away from the quiet side (albeit temp)

Our room on the sixth floor was lovely; on the small side but with a wonderful balcony. It’s quirks--steps up into the bathroom—were more than offset by its assets—good natural light, excellent bedding, lots of hot water, incredibly quiet. Especially enjoyed the central location—steps from upscale shopping, restaurants, Buckingham Palace, Green Hill tube station.

I have been to London several times, and this is the best property I've stayed at by far. It is so luxurious and peaceful, but in the midst of this gorgeous upscale neighborhood with bustling London energy.

Lovely quiet boutique hotel just around the corner from the Ritz in Mayfair. Came for the London Christmas lights and weren’t disappointed. The restaurant and bar are top notch. My husband said it was the best Vesper Martini he ever had. Staff were helpful and courteous. No internet TV, but otherwise well appointed room.

This property is located in a great spot in west London. Near the action but not so close it’s noisy or too busy…staff was very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful, well - run and equipped hotel in a quiet street near Piccadilly. Only quibble is with the restaurant; only two starters and two mains are offered. We had to give the restaurant a pass as what little was on offer wasn’t to our taste.

Enjoyed our stay overall. 4/5 A few “niggles”.. staff were good but missed out on opportunities other hotels offer such as taking bags to room, showing you features and how they work in the room; the steam room option in the shower didn’t work, and we had a bit of a sleepless night as we didn’t know how to turn off the dressing room light.. plus the noise from the extractor outside. There was no restaurant option on Sunday, but that wasn’t a problem as we strolled up to The Wolseley. However, the room was large and bed comfortable. Nice turn down service and the bathroom was good. I can’t fault the housekeepers as, whilst the hotels policy is obviously 1 small shampoo to share, our lovely offered more on request. Great to see Penhaligon toiletries as a British brand, but they should have been “Blenheim Bouquet” when making a focus on Churchill as part of the branding!

Stayed during a reception at Buckingham Palace. Room was incredibly small and cramped. Drinks were overpriced. One can only wonder as to the reason for this hotels 5* rating. I’ve stayed in many other hotels that offer much more for much less. View looked on to service shaft, an upgrade believe it or not. You’re paying for the location here, but a premier inn could be a better choice for what you end up getting.

Location very good. Charged extra for twin beds when the room was the same as double bed. Expensive for what was on offer. Breakfast expensive for just a croissant and a tea.

Hotel is in Victorian building, which was renovated and upgraded to modern-day amenities, including personal Wi-Fi in a room, digital infotainment monitor and excellent air conditioning. Staff is going extra mile to please you, open to accommodate any of your requests. Breakfast is good quality but on expensive side, which is expected in a 5-star hotel. Location is great: walking distance to major attractions and 5-minutes walk to the "Tube". Stay is expensive but you get what you pay for.

Ideal location in St James's, but happily a small hotel which feels like a private club.
