Cute Hotel in Richmond area of London

Great hotel in Richmond near the pub from Ted Lasso. They were cute rooms with air conditioning. Very close to the train station which made it easy to get where we needed to for our tours of London. I would recommend staying there and would return. Cute hotel with character with very pleasant staff.

The hotel is beautiful and in a great location. While our room was lovely, it was very small. There are no amenities - not a cotton ball, q-tip, shower cap, robe, slippers or luggage rack. When we asked to check in early, we were told that it may be available, at 12 but we would be charged 10 pounds an hour. This is the first time we have ever heard of this. When we returned at 2:30 the room was still not ready and we entered at a few minutes before 3:00. As a visitor from the States and with one small bathroom to freshen up, it is a bit challenging to arrive at 10 and have all that time. The staff was efficient but not overly friendly or helpful when we arrived. The following day they were more warm. The breakfast staff and the late night Saturday reception were lovely and helpful. The hotel has great style but could use more attention to detail and substance.

Very nice hotel in Richmond...close to train station and the main street in Richmond with many shops and restaurants. The hotel was nice enough to hold our bags since we arrived early but charges $10 euros an hour to check in before 3pm when the room is ready so we just sat in the lobby until 3pm. Rooms are TINY! The cabin literally has no room for more than one open suitcase. Our 2nd room was slightly bigger but again no room to leave suitcases open. The bathrooms are updated but tiny. A/C was great since it was very warm when we were there.

As other reviews have mentioned, the rooms are tiny. But the location and quality of the hotel make it worth the cramped conditions, at least for a night! I don't think I could spend a week here, but just a night was exactly what we needed in the location we wanted.

We loved our stay here! Lovely room and property. Very walkable into Richmond. The staff were excellent as well! We got into London very early well before check in and they were able to get us in our room early no issues. Extremely welcoming and friendly. Will absolutely stay again if we’re ever back in the area!

The hotel is very pretty, quaint and immaculately presented and in a great location for exploring Richmond. The staff members were very friendly. But the rooms were tiny. We stayed in a Classic room and i just cannot imagine how there could possibly be a smaller room (Compact) listed withing their hotel. We had to kneel on the bed to open the wardrobe door (the hanging rail went from front to back, so it was really awkward to put things in or take things out) as there was only just enough space for the door to open and it touched the side of the bed. A tiny ‘dressing table’ that most of the space was taken up with the tablet to contact reception that didnt work. The pillows were not comfortable, nor was the mattress but understand that can be personal preference. The tea and coffee making facilities- you couldnt get to them as they were attached to the wardrobe right by the side of the bed, but the tiny bedside table was there.(my husband has a medical machine that took up the little space there was on the bedside table) No space to put the cups when making the tea so had to carry them to the tiny dressing table. And the tea bags weren’t replenished anyway. We just felt really claustrophobic and stuffy all weekend and the air con only stays on for a couple of hours no matter what setting, so i was up through the night time and again putting it back on. We knew we hadnt booked the biggest room there but have not stayed in a room that small for many years. Such a shame
