I had a mixed experience at Rafayel Hotel & Spa during my stay. The view from the George V suite was lovely, but the lack of privacy in the bathroom and the outdated facilities left much to be desired. The hotel has great potential, as the staff were friendly and the room was spacious, but several details need attention to truly justify its 5-star status.
Rooms

The George V suite was decent-sized with a lovely view of the Thames, but the massive window between the bathroom and bedroom offered no privacy. The lighting system was overly complicated and there were no bedside clocks or proper toiletries provided.
Service
5.0
While the staff were pleasant, the service felt lacking in efficiency. I had to call reception on my mobile because the room phone didn't work, and the general attitude from the front desk was aloof.

The hotel is located in Battersea, which is a bit out of the way, but it's only a short bus ride to central London, making it convenient for attending events like fireworks in Battersea Park.

Breakfast in the Banyan on the Thames was average and similar to standard hotel offerings. The timing for breakfast didn't start until 8 AM, which felt a bit late for hotel guests.
Facilities

The gym was well-equipped but lacked towels, and the spa area felt outdated and unclean. Improvements in cleanliness and updates to the decor would enhance the guest experience significantly.
