Area description
Located at 34 Lombard Road, Battersea, on the south bank of the River Thames, adjacent to the London Heliport, the hotel may have a tranquil waterside location, but you don't have to go far to experience bustling city life and urban amenities. Battersea Park, with its contemporary gallery, is just a short walk along the riverside, and nearby Battersea Rise and Battersea Square boasts a broad variety of eateries, cafes, markets and shops. Rafayel is proud of its spot in Battersea, the so-called "weak link," which it arguably is not. It is a little-known secret but the tube, Clapham Common, is only 7-8 minutes away through free shuttle service. You can then take a direct connection to Leicester Square, Charing Cross, and Tottenham Court Road where you can get the central line to Bond Street, Bank, Moorgate or Barbican.

Gutes Mittelklassehotel etwas in die Jahre gekommen, fünf Sterne doch etwas überbewertet.

Personal eher zurückhaltend freundlich, Lage ist sehr gut, Busstation in der Nähe und in 15 Minuten im Zentrum, Zimmer war sehr gut und gross, super Bad und Fitnessmöglichkeiten. Einmal gesehen, zufrieden, thats it.
