The Trafalgar St. James London, Curio Collection by Hilton

We were very happy with our nine night stay at the St James Trafalgar Square hotel. The location was perfect for our vacation. We were able to walk to most of our destinations since there are so many historic locations, restaurants and theaters less than a mile from the front door. There are two underground stations very near for longer distances. The one night we decided to take a black cab, the doorman, Trishtan, hailed one for us during a very busy time on Trafalgar Square. His service was outstanding throughout, always greeting and speaking with us when we were coming and going. All the staff we encountered were friendly. Our most special thanks goes to Rayssa, the friendly and efficient hostess at breakfast for most of our stay. She greeted us every morning with a smile and kind words. She remembered our coffee with cream and ensured we had all we needed for our early starts to the day. Sai served our table several mornings, providing fast and friendly service with the right amount of attention. Even when Sai was working in another area, he would smile and say hello. Overall, the food, service and ambience for breakfast was very good. We visited the Rooftop Bar twice - be sure to get reservations. The view is spectacular. We enjoyed wine and food. It was cooler and more windy during our second visit, which might be why we got in without a reservation. The bar provided blankets and had heaters. It was still very fun, and perfect weather to enjoy Cognacs. Our room was a St James Family King Room. The room exceeded expectations though we had seen photos of the updated rooms and really liked them. The room was spacious with plenty of room to move about and spread out for 9 days and nights. There was a couch and small table. The King bed was very comfortable. There was ample storage and plenty of closet space. We asked for a few extra hangers and then another suitcase rack, all delivered promptly. The bathroom was spacious and laid out well. My husband and I had plenty of shareable space to unpack toiletries. One more add, the air conditioner worked very well. The weather was a bit warm a few days and we were thankful for a good AC. We had a wonderful visit to London, and staying here helped it to be a wonderful visit. Thank you.
