I love this hotel and the restaurant. I didn’t stay at the hotel this time, I ate in the restaurant and had drinks. The food is consistently good with great Halal options on the menu. The staff are always so kind and accommodating. Most have worked there for many years and are all passionate about their workplace. This is seen through the wonderful service they deliver. The location is beautiful with the bar and restaurant looking out onto the river with unobstructed views. I will continue to come here regularly as it’s such a great place and never disappoints.

I recently celebrated my birthday with my wife at the Rafayel Hotel Spa in London, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The hotel’s location by the Thames is perfect, offering stunning views. Our room exceeded expectations, with top-notch cleanliness and beautifully maintained decor.The staff, particularly those at reception, were incredibly kind and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. We also dined at the hotel's restaurant, Banyan on the Thames, which was a delight. The Indian cuisine was exceptional, with flavours that were both authentic and refined.Overall, I can’t recommend Rafayel Hotel Spa highly enough. We had a fantastic stay and look forward to returning 😊

This is my second visit to London and given my experience at Hotel Rafayel in 2023, I considered it one of the best hotel in London. Its location is ideal if you are looking for a quiet and comfortable area to spend your time, be it a vacation or on business.I am impressed with the layout of the spacious rooms over looking the beautiful river and the fact that they are all outfitted with high technology and environmentally friendly.The facilities at the hotel consist of a riverside restaurant offering great food and drinks, spa, gym and conference facilities, which I enjoyed immensely. The friendly service by the staff throughout the facility is very commendable.I have to visit again in 2025 and already decided to book my rooms before I leave in the next couple of days!

We stayed for one night, but we will definitely come back again . The hotel was quiet , the room was huge and very clean. In the evening we had dinner in the hotel restaurant which was delicious and in the morning we had an amazing breakfast there as well. Everything was on point - the staff is super friendly and helpful. And a big bonus for the location - close to central London, with beautiful Thames views.
