St. James' Court, A Taj Hotel, London
Beautiful hotel rooms are so nice and luxurious. The breakfast had a really good variety but it was extremely busy and uncomfortable when there was rude people who had no sense of spatial awareness I found it uncomfortable and had breakfast in my room. Also be aware that the bar area is closed Staff ...
