And the reviews are in. Hotel Rafayel on the Left Bank has been open a couple of months now, but it’s certainly making its mark on the London accommodation scene if TripAdvisor is anything to go by. It currently ranks 33 in London (out of 1071) and fifth for business hotels. Not bad for a bunch of eco-hippies, right?

From a browse of the reviews, it seems like it’s not just the green stuff that’s pressing people’s buttons – they also like the “non-minimalist” decor (like the bedspread in the pic), the views, and the cupcake shop in the lobby. Still an issue – the out-of-the-way location, and although there’s a free shuttle to Sloane Square (posh central), it wasn’t working last week when one reviewer stayed.

Still, sounds good to us, especially as they’re still running their opening rates of £120 per room. Try finding that anywhere else decent in London, and we’ll bake you a cupcake ourselves.
