Located approximately 5 minutes' walk from Battersea Chapel, the perfect Rafayel Hotel & Spa London gives easy access to various tourist attractions. Featuring a French restaurant and an indoor swimming pool, the 5-star smoke-free hotel lies near a railway station.

Location

At this boutique hotel, you'll be 3.1 km from Stamford Bridge and within 7 km of the famous British Museum. The luxury Rafayel London is also around 25 minutes on foot from Thames.

Royal Albert Hall is situated 3.5 km from the accommodation.

Rooms

The 71 rooms at this London hotel include a dressing room and a dining area. Some of the rooms feature comfortable decor furnished with a writing desk. They are fitted with bespoke furniture, floor to ceiling windows. Offering a bidet and a shower, the bathrooms are also appointed with hair dryers and complimentary toiletries. Guests can take advantage of views of the river.

Eat & Drink

Rafayel Hotel & Spa offers a lounge bar and a restaurant serving Chinese cuisine. Yamal Alsham has its own variety of Mediterranean meals and is about a 25-minute walk away.

Leisure & Business

The property includes a fitness centre, as well as a full-service spa, so you can both relax and engage in sports. Guests are welcomed to relax in a steam room, a Jacuzzi, and a sauna available on site.

“In my opinion, this property, while marketing itself as a five-star hotel, appears to be closer to a well-maintained three or four-star establishment. Its eco-friendly focus and wellness spa are definite assets, creating a relaxing atmosphere, but some aspects require updating. Its proximity to the River Thames and Clapham Junction offers both scenic views and convenient transport.”
