Richmond-upon-Thames accommodation from NZ$156

Absolutely loved this hotel, especially as a solo traveler! It’s in an excellent location with great proximity to the underground, plays, museums and everything you could want in London.

Clearly the location is terrific. The views of the Tower of London and of the Tower Bridge are exciting and the hotel maximizes them. The staff was helpful and courteous. Our frustration was on our first night when we could not rouse room service. We tried repeatedly for an hour. No one answered. Called 0. No one answered. We ended up going to Tesco to get food to heat in the oven in our suite. But the oven/stove did not work. We went to the front desk to ask for help. We were told someone would come up to our room. No one came. Tired from a day of travel, we ate a side salad and went to bed. We called again the next morning. Someone came up and fixed the problem. (It wasn’t that we couldn’t operated the light switches!).

Breakfast is distinctly average to bellow. Not terrible, not something you’d pay for if you’re not here for work like I was.
