Cem C. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

There are many great things about this hotel. The building is like a museum yet the standart rooms are very under decorated and overly plain looking. Yes the rooms do meet all the needs a guest would need but when paying such prices you expect more than souly needs being met. On this last visit I was given a really unpleasent room (Room 522) with windows looking out to a wall, a wardrobe about 100cm tall and only a small round table to put my personal items on. I am not satisfied with what I received, there are plenty of alternatives in London with much better room options for this price. The nearest one being just round the corner Corinthia. I am not sure whether I'll be returning to The OWO again. As I I mentioned above there are many great things about the hotel such as staff quality but when paying more then a thousand pounds a night I expect more from a room. On the positive side, the breakfast has improved quite a bit and I would say its up to standarts now.

Dear Mr. C., Warm greetings from Raffles London at The OWO. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I am very sorry to read that your experience did not meet your high expectations of our property, and I would like to express my most sincere apologies for this. I have contacted you personally via email to better understand your experience. I will be waiting to hear back from you. Yours sincerely, Olivier Thomas Managing Director Raffles London at The OWO

Alison K. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

Over all, we had a very good experience, in particular, the staff in the pool area. Very polite and helpful. Reception were also very helpful, and we had some excellent suggestions of things to do around London, and also with directions to destinations. We had breakfast in the Drawing Room on both mornings and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Unfortunately, our experience of our evening meal in Saison did not match the excellent service we had during the rest of our stay. We had a table booked for 20:30, the earliest we could get, and the only other diners in there was a party of four. We ordered scotch egg and a salad as starters, reasonably enjoyable, and fish and chips, the Friday special which was extremely lacklustre. The batter on the fish was extremely pale, and not cooked in places, as was the fish, and it felt as if the food was almost thrown on the plate We did point out the quality of the cooking and my meal was refunded with no quibble. We also felt a little rushed and uncomfortable, at the end of the meal, as although it was barely 22:00 and service finished at 22:30, the tables around us were being reset for breakfast, and we were the only diners left in the restaurant. As we passed the Drawing Room, we noticed the were still quite a few people left in there, and none of the tables had been reset for breakfast. This was the deciding factor on our choice of the Drawing Room for both of our breakfasts. Despite this niggle, we had a thoroughly good stay, and would love to return for another visit, one day.

Dear Ms K., Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your recent stay at Raffles London at The OWO. I was pleased to know that you had a very good stay overall and that the team in the pool area, along with our Reception colleagues, left such a positive impression through their helpful and thoughtful service. I was also delighted to read that you so enjoyed breakfast in the Drawing Room and found both the food and atmosphere there so appealing. At the same time, I was sorry to learn that your dinner experience in Saison did not reflect the standard you encountered elsewhere during your stay. I appreciate your candid comments regarding both the quality of the fish and chips and the atmosphere towards the end of service, and I am grateful that you brought these points to our attention at the time. Please be assured that your feedback has been noted carefully and shared for review. Thank you again for your thoughtful comments. It is encouraging to know that, despite this disappointment, you would consider returning, and we would be very pleased to welcome you back to Raffles London at The OWO in the future. Yours sincerely, Olivier Thomas Managing Director Raffles London at The OWO

There is not one thing to improve upon - truly one of the best stays I have ever had. From the friendly staff who remembered my name to the comfort of the bedding. It is in the heart of London, so close to major sites and river.
