Promote Faraz Khan to front desk or duty manager. His personal service was extraordinary - leaving the front desk to change our room, checking on us each day as my wife was using a cane from a recent injury, and getting us thru the "no hot water" problem.. This was our 3rd stay at St James and we will be back because of Faraz Khan.

Spacious modern room. Very walkable location for first time visitor key landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben. Easy underground access to West End Theater District where we saw shows. Staff provided excellent service. Concierge William went out of his way to help me with a minor crisis when I lost an item on a taxi. He tracked down the cabbie and got my item delivered to me promptly. We would stay here again.

This hotel could be a 5 star hotel if they just make a few tweaks as listed below. 1. Front Desk/Reception Area - Professional and courteous but a little slow in dealing with clients. 2. Late night food/snacks should be further catered to a more international/American clientele, although the hotel is Indian owned. 3. Lack of notification and actual hot water availability for two nights. Hotel should reach out to clients on such issues that affect us all as clients. Otherwise, a fantastic hotel with excellent five star Indian-themed food/drinks, staff, and location!
