Saint James(Hotel St James)

A very good and quiet hôtel with amazing staff. The quality of the room and the quality and quantity of the breakfast was very nice. The best criterion for this hotel is the calm! the breakfast room was opened 24h24 and you can have free hot drinks and a very well place to work.

My three friends and I have stayed in this hotel three times in the last few years and this was easily our least successful stay. For a start we discovered that we were not to be staying in the main hotel building but in an annexe which was situated at the back of the hotel along a part covered walkway. I said at reception that because of a very bad knee injury I could not use stairs but when we were shown the route to our two twin-bedded rooms, we discovered that they were two flights of stairs. This was impossible for me but the hotel manager said there was no option as there were no more twin bedded rooms in the hotel ... but there is no lift in the annexe. After what can only be described as an argument with the manager one of my colleagues asked if there were any single rooms available in the main building with access via a lift. He said there was and after us paying an extra fee I was allowed to use this very small single room. My three friends remained in their annexe rooms. My single room was acceptable if small but in the annexe my friends were plagued by mosquitos on their second night and each had several bites in the morning. Altogether an entirely forgettable experience for us all. We certainly won't be staying at Hotel St James again. Pity - as it's central, the parking is easy and the breakfast is good.

The Hotel St James is about a 15-minute walk from the historic centre of Mons. The room was a little on the snug side, but the bathroom was enormous. The staff were friendly and helpful - their suggestion of a bistro near the town was excellent - and the breakfast was ok.

This is great hotel close to the city centre and the mons memorial museum all within easy walking distance. That from a guy who injured his leg and was in a leg brace most of the trip. The best bit is you can park your car for free directly outside of it. That save over 40€ on equivalent nearby hotels. The room and a kettle and tea coffee also but a fridge is an extra bonus to pick up cold beers etc from cheap nearby shops. A couple of nice pubs on route to city centre also. Piece of advice is avoid the restaurant Henri on route to centre. Cash only and it turns you’re food into something you felt was microwaved, packet frozen chips etc. head onto city centre where there’s a great Pizzeria on the left just before the square. Sorry can’t remember its name.

Even before I booked our one night's stay, reception were excellent in responding to our enquiries regarding secure parking at the hotel. We were met by friendly staff and the room was clean with coffee making facilities, a bath and overhead shower plus a hairdryer! Ten minutes walk from the Mons Memorial Museum and fifteen from the main centre. We would definitely recommend this hotel - thank you!

Trouble free overnight stop. Well placed for the town centre. Good breakfast. Parking was easy.

Comfortable, clean room, well equipped with kettle, tea, coffee etc. That may sound obvious, but in France and Germany, you won't normally get all that. In Belgium, thank goodness, they generally do have it. Good bed, quiet, with private parking, although A. you won't need it because there's lots of room in the road, and B. you pay 10 Euros per night for it! And it's well within easy waking distance of the town square, where the restaurants and bars are. The lady on breakfast duty gets a special mention, as her bacon and eggs (not on the menu, so you need to ask) were just the job. One star off however for the inadequate lighting in the room. I like to read in bed, and I couldn't. Common problem, but it needs mentioning. Ideal for battlefield tours of the Battle of Mons in 1914.

Excellent customer service by friendly reception staff. We had lots of help with sorting out food for the family including young children, and with taxi arrangements. More than we expected, so a big help. Rooms very smart and well equipped.

Very clean and cosy. Attention to customer is really great and this makes a big difference! My room was in the annex, modern and well equipped. What could be improved is the soundproofing. I was lucky my neighbours were quiet! I recommend this address...
