 Basically the only drawback was the view from our room situated on the 1st floor inner courtyard We recommend spending a tad more on a room upgrade go for Luxury King or above In other words you want to get a street view as the location is very nice 
 Being returning Sofitel guests we chose Sofitel St James for our short weekend trip to London We highly valued the excellent location 2 minutes walk to Picadilly Circus 8 minutes to Buckingham Palace friendly and helpful staff and the overall comfort and feeling welcome Also the Herm s fragrance is always a nice touch
