Sofitel London St James is centrally located in Piccadilly Circus. It is convenient to get to everywhere. The tube station is very close, providing access to the Piccadilly line as well as Bakerloo lines. Technically you can go from Heathrow to the hotel almost painlessly on Piccadilly line (if u avoid the working traffic)
The building is a classic, the design is modern and very well maintained. It feels very new and well kept. The room I was in was spacious, and can accommodate an extra bed if needed. Air conditioning is sufficient.
The gym is very small though. Something to note. And it doesn't have a swimming pool. Breakfast is nice but not value for the buck.
The staff are super courteous. They try everything to make your trip a lot more hassle free. I checked in early and checked out late, and traveling with family. So long as they can help, they will.
Highly recommend this place. Will stay again next time.

We stay at this hotel quite often. It is one of my go-to hotel in London, for its location, the Chinese restaurant on-site, and the comfort of the rooms.
