Tiago T. Couples - 1/26/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed at Raffles OWO to celebrate my girlfriend’s 31st birthday. We’ve stayed at Raffles before and chose this hotel because we knew the service would be exceptional. The hotel is stunning and the service was top-notch, as always. London weather was cold, rainy, and unpredictable, but the hotel felt like a peaceful oasis in the middle of the city. Towards the end of our stay I was unwell, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, which meant a lot to us. Even the porter told us we were “like family,” and that’s exactly how we felt. They really know how to make you feel at home. A special thank you to Alesandra from Guest Services, Ellie and Cathal at Reception,Jordi from FB, Jose and the entire Concierge team, as well as the wonderful spa and pool staff, and to everyone who made our stay so incredibly special. We’ll definitely be back.

Dear Tiago T., thank you so much for taking the time to share your delightful experience at Raffles London. It is heartening to hear that you chose our hotel to celebrate such a special occasion and that we were able to provide the exceptional service you have come to expect from us. We are thrilled to learn that our staff's kindness and attentiveness made a significant impact during your stay, especially when you were unwell. It is our mission to create a welcoming environment that feels like home, and it is gratifying to know that our team, including Alesandra, Ellie, Cathal, Jordi, and the entire Concierge team, contributed to making your visit memorable. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back for another exceptional stay soon. With kind regards, Mathias Gerds Hotel Manager Raffles London at The OWO

Alan S. Couples - 1/25/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

We paid for 6 nights with breakfast included, however each day the breakfast was charged extra. During checkout we mentioned that and it was said that the difference between charged amount will be removed from the bill, however they didn’t remove it.

Dear Alan S., Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay. I sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding your breakfast charges. We strive to make our billing processes transparent and regret that this was not the case during your stay. The refund for the difference was issued five minutes after your final check-out, and our front office team will contact you regarding the refund invoice. I apologize again for the inconvenience caused by these additional charges. With best regards from London, Mathias Gerds Hotel Manager Raffles London at The OWO
