Very nice
Stayed 24 May through 31 May, 2009. The location is outstanding, the lobby is beautiful, the rooms were not bad by European standards (smaller than US but not too small), clean rooms, excellent breakfast included with our room, and staff was friendly. I'd definitely stay again.

edwardian/italian eccentric!
Had a wonderful stay in this hotel- perfectly placed in the heart of London, but with italian flair. Rooms a little dated, but fabulous ambience. Don't stay here if you don't appreciate a little eccentricity!

"Great Visit"
My wife and I spend nine nights at the Jolly last month. We came, we stayed, and we were consummate tourists. Outside of the first night spent in an infamous “standard room” our stay was very enjoyable. About that “standard room”, according to the front desk, that grade of room is given to anyone on the discount circuit and those that book through a travel agent. We upgraded to a more spacious room on the fourth floor for an additional 50 pounds a night. May I also add that a full breakfast came with that up grade. (coffee was excellent, served in a timely manner and I had a personal jar of jam or honey if I wanted) Yes, the elevators are small – they work. Yes, the ice machine is non existent, ice comes from the bar – it was never a problem. Yes, if you patronize the Caxton Bar, the Hotel Restaurant, or purchase items in your personal fridge - you will pay dearly (example: one vodka/tonic 7 pounds & change). While on the subject of expense, everything is expensive in London. The pound is equal to 2 dollars and you are spending pounds like they were dollars. Example: a pint of bitter at 4 pounds 50 pence, a paper back book for 6 pounds 99 pence, and before I forget, if you take a cab from Heathrow to the Jolly the rate is over 50 pounds. Guess what I’m trying to say is don’t blame the Jolly for up scale rates on things. Lastly, the people behind the scenes as well as in front are to be commended. They put our stay on a more personable level and we were never led astray. To Fabo, Jon, Vlad and Gary our most sincere Thanks.

"Good location"
Stayed here June 26th 2007 or 2 nights. Great location next to St James tube easy tube access to major areas of tourist interest. Requested a room in the new block on arrival after reading prior reviews on Tripadvisor but none available. Room was small but as expected in London but bathroom was ok. Poor aspects were really uncomfortable bed and the ac didnt seem to work well at all (per other reviews). Bar and restuarant prices are high as per most central London hotels. Ate in their restuarant and the food was very good quality if overly fussy waiters. For a short stay it was fine overall and would stay there again. The Thai restuarant in Grosvenor Place (short walk past Victoria St) was really good - called the Mango.

"a very satisfactory experience"
We stayed at the Jolly St. Ermin's from the 19th to the 27th of June this year. Our first room was rather shabby but very large; however the sink did not drain well. We got moved to a room on the 6th floor which was very up-to-date and immaculately clean and there we stayed the whole trip. The staff were friendly and the concierge was very helpful. The location is brilliant; under 4 minutes one direction to Buckingham Palace and the same in another direction to Westminster Abbey. The tube stop (St James Park) was around the corner. There was a Sainsbury (?) about 4 minutes away as well as a Pizza Express. Around the corner was a Starbucks for when the need for good coffee overwhelmed us. Across the street from the hotel is the very 50's building that houses New Scotland Yard so certainly the neighborhood is very, very safe. There was a mini-bar in the room and we used it it keep water cold or slid in a packet of cheese. We booked through Hoteldoorman about 2 months before our trip and got a price just under 100 GBP per night which included VAT and breakfast. The breakfast was fine and included both hot and cold options. The coffee was not very good but, with only a few exceptions, that was true most places we ate in London. Overall we were thrilled with the hotel, the staff and the location and would recommend it without reservations.

"Good hotel, good location."
We stayed 3 nights at the Jolly St. Ermins and had a great time. The staff are really helpful and attentive, the rooms are comfortable and clean, the shower was nice and powerful! The area is good (right by Scotland Yard, 5 mins walk to Houses of Parliament) and the hotel is really handy for the tube (St James's Park). The area is quiet at the weekend - only the odd pub and coffee bar open and not many people around - but that really was a good thing - the tube is really quiet there and there is no hustle or bustle to disturb you at night. We'll be staying there again.

"Fantastic Deal"
We stayed 5 nights at the Jolly Hotel St. Ermin's while on an American Airlines Vacation and loved it. The room was quite large, and the bathroom spacious as well (coming from an American, that means something!). The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Our room included breakfast every morning which offered a variety of breads, danishes, fruits, and juices. We found this to be an incredible value for our money. It is situated just down the street from St. James' Tube station, and within walking distance of all major London sights (Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, London Eye). It is right across the street from New Scotland Yard, so we couldn't have felt safer. I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to London.

"Lovely central London hotel"
I stay in hotels in London regularly on business and this hotel - almost next door to St James Park tube station - is by far the best at less than £150 per night. It is such a rarity to find a central London hotel which is clean, well-located AND excellent value-for-money. My room was relatively small but efficiently laid out, well-equipped & spotless. But the best aspect was the staff, who were without exception polite, cheerful and helpful - a refreshing (and sadly) rare feature in a central London hotel!
