I had a mixed experience at The Trafalgar St. James. While the location is absolutely unbeatable, right at Trafalgar Square, the service left quite a bit to be desired. I especially enjoyed the rooftop bar, which offered stunning views and lovely staff, yet the reception and breakfast service were disappointing. The room itself was beautiful and comfortable, but the overall service quality tarnished my stay a bit. 🌟😕

My stay at The Trafalgar St. James was mostly wonderful due to its perfect location and spacious, clean rooms.

The rooftop bar offered fantastic views, but the dining experience could use some improvement in organization.
