Before commenting on the Stafford Hotel’s amenities, rooms and other reasons it’s a worthy accommodation in London, I would like to touch upon a very overlooked but highly essential feature of this hotel – one that is, in my humble opinion, so important, that it would sway my decision to stay here given a situation where I’d have to choose between two or more hotels. That feature is: free internet access. I personally feel this should be free in all hotels and if they charge anything more than 5 dollars (or pounds) per day, it’s a true fleecing of the client. All I have to say is, “Bravo, Stafford Hotel – and thank you.” As someone who needs the internet while traveling for work reasons, I very much appreciate this free amenity.
Now, on to the hotel. As a 5-star hotel in central London, there’s not much to say about this place, except that it does live up to its category, being part of an establishment that truly embraces impeccable customer service. The staff is so remarkably proficient that you might actually feel loved, at least appreciated, as much as an English professional is capable of conveying. The welcome is friendly and warm, and you’ll want to return for subsequent visits, I’m almost sure of that. That’s how good they are!
The rooms can be described as the epitome of luxury: comfortable, lavish, spacious and elegant set within a backdrop of English charm and style.
The hotel has the auspicious advantage of being close to the most visited attractions without being in a bustling and noisy environment. From the hotel, guests can actually walk to Buckingham Palace as well as Picadilly Circus. It’s about a 5 minute walk to Bond Street, which is London’s equivalent of Bevery Hill’s Rodeo Drive or Paris’ Champs Elysee. Go here and grab a new outfit from Armani or Gucci! For more every day wear, head on over to the famous Selfridges. Not far away and just across from the Royal Academy is one of my all time most visited stores in London: Fortnum & Mason. Here you will find the most delicious teas and delicacies. Another place to hit, which is close by, is the Ritz hotel, one of my favorite places to have high tea. It is to die for!
The last item I wanted to mention was that if you stay in a suite at The Stafford Hotel, it includes a return transfer from London’s Heathrow airport in a Mercedes E-Class car and garment pressing throughout your stay.
