A classic hotel with the ideal location on the Thames. The reception staff were all welcoming and lovely people. My room was beautiful and well' soundproofed, as I had a 2nd floor overlooking the bridge and did not hear any traffic sounds. Good night sleeps!! Squeaky clean. I loved the heated bathroom floor. The spacious bathroom was beautiful, stylish marble floor and walls, bright & cheerful. Highly recommend The Relais.

highly recommend the Relais

We had a wonderful relaxing break at the Relais. The staff were helpful, the room was comfortable and clean, and the location was perfect. Breakfast was very delicious. Only improvement would be for a pot of tea to be served rather than a cup.
