Not good

The hotel is not in good condition. The room I had do not have a toilet or shower. I should’ve perhaps realised that when booking. But, this was the first and last time I shall stay here

Great location for Richmond High street. Friendly stuff. Bear in mind there is a fly path over your head - gets noisy very early in the morning.

The only slight downsides were a bit of flight path and traffic noise, and occasional creaky floorboards above. It was a comfortable, spacious room, and although the supplies of tea/coffee/etc. and toiletries were simple, we certainly had everything we needed for our stay. The staff couldn't have been more pleasant or helpful. The location is excellent: a short walk from Richmond station in one direction and from Richmond centre in the other, offering a huge choice of restaurants and pubs, plus bakeries, shops and a supermarket. We travelled by train/tube but the hotel also has a car park.

Very friendly staff and very welcoming. Close to the train station and places to eat. Hotel is very tired and shabby with a Fawlty Towers vibe. If you have any sense of humour, you'll love it!

Lovely and clean

Good stay for the price. Decor a little dated but what I appreciated the most was the cleanliness of the room and bathroom. Shower was great and the mattress was very comfortable. Perfect for those living out of town and needing to travel to London to visit their offices.
