French: “Très agréable et reposant”

Situation idéale juste au bord de la Tamise, les chambres sont belles, la literie exceptionnelle, le restaurant est de qualité, géré par un chef français, bonne carte des vins, et un très joli bar où l'on se sent bien. Nous avons dîné dans ce restaurant au bord de la tamise, en terrasse, pas un bruit... C'est tout juste si nous ne voulions plus bouger de l'hôtel.

Parfait pour un week end romantique ou en famille.

Translation: Ideal location right on the River Thames, the rooms are beautiful, beds exceptional quality, the restaurant is run by a French chef, good wine, and a very nice bar where you feel good. We dined in the restaurant on the Thames, terrace, no noise ... It’s as if we did not want to move away from the hotel. Perfect for a romantic weekend or family.

French: “Très bon hôtel à recommander sans hésiter”

Hôtel bien situé pour ceux qui ne veulent pas être en centre ville. Très bien desservi par des bus et à 15min du centre en bus.

German:“Exzellentes Designerhotel mit ausgezeichnetem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis”

Nach meinen negativem Erfahrungen mit den Hotels in London haben wir nun UNSER Hotel hier gefunden. In London ist es mit Hotels nicht einfach, wir hatten schon alles von der besseren Besenkammer bis zu dem miesesten Service (Mandeville Hotel), aber was uns hier erwartete waren riesige, modernste, ruhige Zimmer mit gemütlichen Kingsizebetten (eigentlich fast wie eine Wohnung) mit Blick auf die Themse, modernstes Design unmd freundliches Service und Personal.

Der einzige Nachteil, das Hotel hat keine Anbindung an das öffentliche Verkehrsnetz, die nächste Station Clapham Common ist etwa 10 Autominuten entfernt, dafür bietet das Hotel aber auch kostenlosen Shuttle von und zum Hotel mit 22.30 Uhr alle 30 Minuten an. In die Stadt benötigt man auf diese Art gute 30 bis 40 min.

Translation: After my negative experience with the hotels in London, we have found OUR hotel here. In London it is with hotels not easy, we had all of the best broom closet until the lousiest service (Mandeville Hotel), but what we here expected were huge, modern, quiet rooms with comfortable king-size beds (actually, almost like an apartment) Overlooking the River Thames, modern design and friendly service and staff. The only downside, the hotel has no access to the public transport network, the next stop on Clapham Common is about 10 minutes away, but the hotel but also offers free shuttle to and from the hotel by 22.30 every 30 minutes. In the city is needed in this way a good 30 to 40 minutes, which is OK.

Italian: “HOTEL DI LUSSO A PREZZO RAGIONEVOLE”

Siamo stati al Rafayel dal 9 al 12 ottobre 2011 io mia moglie e figlia. L'hotel si trova a circa 3 km a sud della stazione Victoria nella zona Battersea, stazione che si raggiunge con il bus 170(fermata di fronte l'hotel) in 15-30 minuti a seconda del traffico. L'hotel in stile moderno-indiano si trova sulle sponde del Tamigi; è confortevole, pulito e ha camere ampissime per Londra (credo che la nostra fosse almeno 40/45mq). Il bagno è grandissimo con doccia eccezionale. Vi sono tutti i confort, internet gratis, media station televisore lcd e occorrente per fare il caffe'. Il personale è estremamente gentile e efficiente. Non abbiamo fatto colazione in hotel ma abbiamo mangiato nel ristorante attiguo con ottimi piatti e non guasta sconto 50% per i clienti dell'hotel. Ottimo il rapporto qualità-prezzo per un 5 stelle reale. La posizione per chi è un po' pigro e stenta a muoversi con i mezzi pubblici non è comodissima.

Translation: We stayed at the Rafayel 9 to 12 October 2011 me, my wife and daughter. The hotel is located about 3 km south of Victoria station in the Battersea station which can be reached by bus 170 (stop in front of the hotel) in 15-30 minutes depending on traffic. The modern-style hotel is located on the shores of the Indian River Thames, is comfortable, clean and lighted rooms for London (I think ours was at least 40/45mq). The bathroom is large with a great shower. There are all mod cons, free internet, LCD television and media station needed to make coffee.'  The staff is extremely friendly and efficient. We have not had breakfast in the hotel but we ate in the attached restaurant with good food and not bad 50% discount for hotel guests. Excellent value for money for a real 5 stars. The location for those who are a bit 'lazy and hard to move around by public transport is not convenient.

Norwegian: “Drømmen..”

Hotellet var fint og flott, enormt rom/suite med spisebord, sofa, kontor og stooort bad. Alle rommene hadde TV, samt høytalere. Du får en følelse av luksus av å bo her. Hotellet ligger ikke så sentralt, men de kjører deg gratis til nærmeste underground eller togstasjon/buss, så du kommer deg lett hvor du vil. Opplevde litt kommmunikasjonssvikt da vi skulle hentes, men men..! Vi var veldig fornøyde med oppholdet, ville nesten ikke forlate rommet for å dra inn til sentrum.

Translation:The hotel was fine and great, huge room / suite with dining table, sofa, office and  large bathroom. All rooms had TV and speakers. You get a sense of luxury of staying here. The hotel is not central, but they are running free shuttle to the nearest underground or train station / bus, so you'll easily go anywhere you want. Experienced some communication failure when we should be picked up, but but ..! We were very satisfied with our stay, would hardly leave the room to go into the city center.

Portuguese: “Excelente”

Estive em um duplex com vista para o Thamisa. Confortável, espaçoso, limpo e ótimo serviço. Conta com um spa e tem um restaurante bastante bom também para quem quiser mordomias. Achei legal ter a praticidade de um apartamento alugado, com cozinha e lavanderia individual e o luxo e bom atendimento de um bom hotel. Fica em uma área mais afastada, porém o transporte para o metrô é fácil (até a pé). Custo-benefício bem legal. Gostei bastante.

Translation: I was in a duplex overlooking the Thames. Comfortable, spacious, clean and great service. It has a spa and a restaurant is also very good for those who want perks. It was nice to have the convenience of a rented apartment, with kitchen and laundry facilities and individual luxury and good service for a good hotel. Is in an area further away, but transportation to the subway is easy (even on foot). Values cool. I really liked.

Spanish: “Impre$ionante”

Quedamos varados en Londres por los efectos del volcán y casi milagrosamente encontramos una tarifa a mitad de precio en una suite del Rafayel. Fueron las mejores 5 noches de nuestro viaje. El hotel es totalmente nuevo, lujoso y tecnológico. La habitación equivale a 4 habitaciones standard de Londres. El staff es muy atento y la zona donde está ubicada es muy agradable, con restaurants muy lindos a solo 5 minutos del hotel.

No hay que preocuparse por la ubicación. No solo hay un bus (el 170) que para en la puerta y te lleva a Victoria Station en 10 minutos, sino que además el hotel ofrece un shuttle gratuito hasta Clapham Common. Dos pulgares arriba para el Rafayel.

Translation: We were stranded in London for the effects of the volcano and almost miraculously found a half-price fare in a suite at the Rafayel. They were the top 5 nights of our trip. The hotel is brand new, luxury and technology. The room is 4 standard rooms London. The staff is very attentive and the area where it is located is very nice with very nice restaurants just 5 minutes away. No need to worry about the location. Not only is there a bus (the 170) which stops at the door and takes you to Victoria Station in 10 minutes, but the hotel also offers a complimentary shuttle to Clapham Common. Two thumbs up for Rafayel.
