Our room was beautiful with an amazing view over Horseguards and the rooftops of Westminster. The room was well appointed with all possible amenities…the sheets and bed were so comfortable. We dined in several of the restaurants which were both delicious, enjoyed cocktails in the Guards, and we used the well-appointed gym. The staff from reception to the concierge desk were wonderful. Thanks for a lovely stay…we will be back!

We were returning guests and noted that it was for a special stay my husbands 40th. On arrival our room was so very disappointing, the bed was directly facing a dull grey wall with absolutely no space and no decor or charm. I am utterly shocked to see these rooms being offered at Raffles. It reminded me of a Premier Inn room. After I explained my upset we waited for a while and were moved to a different room that was alot more in line with what would be expected by this level of hotel. However, there was still no full length mirror in the whole room, infact the ONLY mirror was the one in the bathroom, and then when I wanted to get ready and use electronics to do so I could not plug them in and use the mirror at the same time (hair drier, straighteners etc) due to the very poor lay out of the room, so I couldn’t even get ready or do my hair with a mirror. That is so very shocking for a hotel of this standard. There were also no robes or slippers in our room which we had to request on several occasions. Friendly staff, lovely breakfast.

Our stay at Raffles London had been on our list for a while and we were able to start our 60th birthday celebrations with 24 hours at the hotel. Both our rooms were extremely comfortable and luxurious. We were very lucky that our rooms were ready early and we both were greeted with treats when we entered them. The room had everything we needed including a choice of pillow which had been requested when completing my pre arrival form. We visited 3 different restaurants, Guards Bar , the swimming pool and spa area and had a fabulous historical tour by the brilliant Emille. The building is luxurious, welcoming and full of history. We chose not to leave the hotel during our 24 hours because we wanted to experience as much as possible. Our Friday evening was completed with cocktails in the Spy Bar - not to be missed!
But what stood out for us most was the superb customer service that we received throughout the hotel. I would like to particularly mention Malik in reception, Dean and Emille in Concierge, the fabulous Irishman whose name I did not get, who greeted us, guided us and answered anything we asked (he was concierge/front of house), Jason in the courtyard and Joshua in the Spy Bar. All staff were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. They absolutely made our stay.
I hope that I may return again.
