I found St. James' Court to be a lovely hotel with a charming ambiance, but there were several small disappointments. The service and location were excellent, making it convenient for exploring London, though the pool was closed during my stay. Additionally, the room I had was somewhat dated and did not meet my expectations in terms of modern amenities, especially considering the price.

My stay at St. James' Court, A Taj Hotel, had its ups and downs. The location is very nice, just a short stroll to Buckingham Palace. While the room was spacious and the breakfast buffet was tasty, I was disappointed by the housekeeping service, which was lackluster at best. Overall, there were some good moments, but a bit more attention to detail would have made this stay great.
