We enjoyed the facilities of the hotel and the morning breakfast is very generous and delicious. However, the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and the staff was not around to communicate with the guests who evacuated to the courtyard. It was strange.

The checkin process was late, slow and disorganized… maybe need to book leads rooms or get mor desk and cleaning staff. The broken elevator was a real inconvenience Breakfast was over crowded and chaotic Fire alarm in the middle of the night was unfortunate, but also not well organized communications could have been a safety issue if situation were real emergency

We enjoyed our room size (Courtyard suite), as many hotels in Europe are always tiny. We had a King sized bed, which was nice, it was pretty hard. Our teen slept on the love seat, not ideal but made due. Lots of selection for breakfast. Downfall, many nights the fire alarm would go off. On our last night, we waited in the courtyard for quite sometime for us to go back to our room (probably around 2, but the time we got to go back in). The bathroom was bright and clean. The hotel is very large and finding your way is like a maze. One elevator, closest to the lobby, was out of order, but if you walk always, you can find another one. They did take our credit card, when checked in, but never showed us, at check out that there was no balance. When we get our bill, I will make sure they did not charge us for anything etc. The doormen were very friendly and helpful. Some staff were nice, others not so much. Overall, for the area you are in, it was worth the cost.

**Hotels.com Review: St James Court Hotel - A Taj Hotel** ⭐ 1 Star Our stay at St James Court Hotel was a disaster, with severe security issues and a lack of empathy from the staff. **Security Breach:** On July 7th, an intruder entered our room while my family, including young children, were asleep and asked to use the bathroom. This was terrifying. Despite informing the night manager immediately, the response was slow and inadequate. The manager suggested we left the door ajar, which we firmly denied. Their data omitted that THEIR employee was the last to leave our room after delivering milk for our children, failing to secure the door. Security took over 15-20 minutes to respond, leaving us feeling unsafe. **Repeated Fire Alarms:** Over two consecutive nights, the fire alarm went off after 1:30 am, disrupting our sleep and further traumatizing our jet-lagged children. The hotel’s data only mentioned a daytime alarm, ignoring the actual disturbances. The staff's claim that the alarms were handled promptly is false. **Lack of Empathy and Professionalism:** Mr. Wiedemann, the Hotel Manager, was dismissive and made no real effort to rectify the situation. His claims that the incidents were handled properly and that we were at fault for the security breach are both insulting and untrue. No genuine apology or satisfactory resolution was provided for the distress and inconvenience caused to my family. If you are considering staying at St James Court Hotel, stay elsewhere.

Check in took 40 min and we git a classic room of barely 10square meters with a small dirty window overlooking a dirty wall corner(! ).. after complain we moved ( the next day!) to a bigger room, run out but less than the first and still not compliant with the internet photos of classic room. Expensive for the shabby status.
