My stay at Althoff St James's Hotel & Club had its ups and downs. The location is superb, just a short walk from major attractions, and the service from the staff was genuinely friendly and supportive. However, I faced issues with room quality and unexpected charges during my visit, which left me feeling slightly disappointed. Overall, it has potential, but there are areas that need improvement. 🌟

Rooms

My room was small and directly under the bar, which meant I experienced a lot of noise late into the night. Additionally, I faced issues with the shower water temperature during my stay, which was frustrating for a hotel of this caliber. The decor felt outdated, with bubbling wallpaper and stained floors. It was disappointing given the expectations for a higher-end hotel.
