I recently stayed at Althoff St James's Hotel & Club in London, and while the location was fantastic, the overall experience was mixed. The staff were extremely professional and attentive, making me feel welcome. However, the room’s air conditioning was problematic and disrupted my sleep. The bathroom was also an issue, showing signs of wear and awkward layout. Overall, it has potential with its lovely amenities and prime location, but some improvements are needed.

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 The decor felt outdated, with bubbling wallpaper and stained floors.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.

The range of facilities available, like room service and housekeeping, was adequate, but I believe some aspects could be better maintained. I noticed that my bathroom had plumbing issues. Additionally, not having hot water consistently was a major drawback.
