Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a quiet and clean environment but falls short on room amenities and atmosphere in certain areas. The location is excellent with on-site parking but lacks modern room features. The dining experience is a mix of quality and disappointment. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
Although the rooms weren't like the pictures, being small and slightly cramped with hardly any storage space, the location was excellent for visiting Kew Gardens and Hampton Court. The service was a mix of welcoming and accommodating instances alongside slow and non-smiling experiences. The dining options varied from overpriced to very good. Overall, the hotel offers a cozy stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel has some drawbacks like the absence of central AC, which can be disappointing for guests nowadays. On the positive side, the service is always friendly and accommodating. The location offers a countryside feel within reach of the city center. The dining experience might fall short of expectations, but the hotel boasts a lovely view of the Thames.
The hotel offers stunning views overlooking the Thames with all necessary amenities, but some rooms are smaller than ideal. The service is friendly overall, with a few minor hiccups. The location is superb for exploring Richmond and the surroundings. The dining options vary in quality, with some exceptional dishes and room for improvement. The facilities are well-maintained and cater to guests' needs.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were small but lovely, and the bathroom was nice. However, I was lucky to have a double bed with a beautiful view from my balcony of the Thames curve. Unfortunately, there was a noisy party on the terrace that night, which disturbed our ambience.
The hotel is located in a lovely area with easy access to touristy places. The rooms were comfortable but noisy due to the location on the first floor without air conditioning. The service was mixed, with some charming staff but also some inefficiency and unfriendliness. Dining was superb with excellent quality, but there were slight price concerns. The location offers a great spot, but being on a hill might require transportation for some.
The hotel offers warm and cozy rooms with Juliet balconies as standard, but it can get stifling at night due to bugs if you can't open the windows. The room was small, with a laughable wardrobe and tiny bathroom.
The hotel offers a pleasant stay with lovely river views but lacks in-room amenities and had an issue with room assignment. The service is a mix of highly professional interactions and some lack of attention to detail. Great location for exploring the town and nearby attractions, but dining options may be overpriced for the quality received.
The hotel offers a classic riverview experience that's always immaculate, but some disappointments were noted with limited vegetarian dining options. The location provides an excellent view of the river Thames, enhanced by car-parking facilities onsite.
