The Stafford is a marvelous hotel -- you feel as though you are in fine home that just happens to be set up for lots of company. The staff are marvelous -- first, highly competent, which is crucial, but on top of that genuinely welcoming and courteous without overdoing it. The American Bar was a real treat especially late-night after theater -- try the Amphora Negroni: a unique treatment of a classic.

We always enjoy our stay at the Stafford and we look at to the excellent service and lovely food. As always everything lived up to expectations, and especially the wonderful breakfast, served by Alberto, who made sure everything was perfect. It is always a pleasure to see Luca and his team, who are so helpful and positive, nothing is too much trouble and this is why we keep coming back to the Stafford. Thank you Luca, Alberto and all the team once again.

The Stafford is beautiful, classically British feeling, and staff was incredibly warm and helpful. Great location with easy access to Green Park tube station through a passage way across the street. Minor inconvenience is the bathroom has very little counter space / room for toiletries, but I find this is common in European hotels, and easily remedied if I had remembered a hanging toiletry case!
