We absolutely loved St Ermin’s hotel! The location was perfect- a very short walk to the St James station. The rooms were spacious, clean and quiet. Upon arrival they gave my son a “top secret” assignment which he loved. Very family friendly. We also enjoyed the Bee area on the 3rd floor- my son proclaiming it was his favorite part of the trip. We would definitely stay again!

An incredible hotel. The rooms are wonderful, so spacious, quiet and luxurious. But what makes this hotel so special are the staff. They truly are wonderful. Nothing is ever too much trouble, there is always someone on hand to offer assistance and they’re all just so kind and friendly. Can’t wait to visit again!

Room was very quiet with no view. Pretty standard with fluffy robes, safe, tea making facilities, small fridge with free water and chocolate. What I really liked was that it had an ironing board, which I didn't find in other London hotels. Public areas like the tea room, reception, bar area were stunning. Will definitely stay there again.

I first stayed here in Oct 2023 and have since stayed here every month for at least 3-5 nights per month while traveling on business.Summary: excellent hotel: staff, location, food are standouts !!!Some details:1. Room sizes are on the smaller end and a number of the bathrooms have none or very little counter space2. If you need a bigger room - book one before arriving as complimentary upgrades can be hard to come by.2. The restaurant staff is one of the best. Friendly, attentive, personal - always welcoming.3. The buffet - is excellent. And the dinner menu is amazing. So many options for people who prefer vegan.4. The hotel has no spa, steam roomOr sauna which would be nice after walking 15 miles some days.5. The staff is quick to address concerns when the experience isn’t great. Great job to the staff !!!6. And location, location, location. Can’t beat it.

The staff is very friendly, punctual, and polite. A few minutes walk from the St. James exit from the tube. Great buffet offered at the hotel and the kids loved the bee garden. The history of the hotel is very unique compared to other hotels we've stayed at. A 30 min walk to the London eye, 20 min walk to Buckingham Palace, and a 10 min walk to the St James park. There's also a small playground at the St James Park.

I have stayed in many hotels and St. Ermin’s will easily be one of our favorites. Not only is the location superb but the service has been unbelievable. Our 8 year son that loves history was given a “top secret “ mission where he was able to discover and learn about the history of the hotel during WW2. As a secret agent he even received a special drink (non alcoholic) at the bar. To say this hotel goes above and beyond is an understatement. Truly have fans for life.

My wife and I had a great experience there. The staff was great. Alice, I think the concierge, was terrific! The bar staff helped us order room service because the food had shut down for the night. And they made great drinks!The room was small in comparison to US rooms, but it was perfect. The bed and pillows were excellent. They did allow early check in for us thanks to our Marriott status. It was going to be 200 lbs for early check in.Many of London's highlights were within walking distance.Overall it was a great experience!

This hotel had the best variety of delectable vegan options for breakfast compared to any other hotels I've ever stayed at.The rooms look a little bit outdated, but can't complain as the hotel staff was generous in upgrading me to a Junior suite.The management should track late checkout requests well - someone at the front desk didn't update their system & then right after noon, the housekeeping staff tried to enter the suite, and then someone else from the front desk came over to ask why I had not checked out. I showed them the chat with the hotel staff in the Marriott Bonvoy app, in which the hotel staff had accepted my late checkout request, but she insisted that I should have gotten a new keycard, so that the front desk could be sure that I was indeed going to check out late. 🤔I might still stay again, though.
