Very nice hotel with comfortable, refurbished rooms that don't ruin the character of an historic building. Breakfast was decent with plentiful selections, although you might want to go earlier as it get very busy at 9am on a Sunday. We didn't try the restaurant but the menu looked excellent. You cannot do better in Henley in terms of location, it's right next to the Thames and famous bridge. The hand written note from the manager was a very nice touch.

We had a lovely stay here. Very helpful, friendly staff who were very welcoming to our young children. We stayed in a family room which was comfortable and clean. I would definitely recommend the Relais and will return if we ever need a place to stay in Henley.

Couldn’t open the wardrobe door to use the mirror as the bed got in the way. So asked twice for another mirror so you can use the hair dryer to be told a mirror has been put in the room. This never happened so asked for an extension lead and finally got one! The breakfast was awful. Asked for Eggs Benedict first eggs over, second egg under and the muffin was rock solid third attempt eggs “just” but the hollandaise sauce was pure vinegar. Full English no black pudding, wasn’t told. Ask for brown sauce didn’t have that either. Was told the hotel acts on feedback I’m not holding my breath.

I had a wonderful stay at the Relias Henley. My room was much bigger than expected and I was thrilled when I arrived at 10:00 am and they offered me an early check-in. They were extremely accommodating. Room was amazing, clean and comfortable. The food was delicious with more options that I could eat! The staff was very friendly and British hospitality was amazing. I highly recommend the Relais. It was as comfortable as being home! Great location too as I could walk into town and feel 100% safe.
