Nice hotel/Poor service

The hotel was really nice but the service level was poor. They failed to refresh our room and said it was down to a staff shortage. There was no communication other than when we asked at the reception desk. It was a shame as the hotel and breakfast was good and we would use it again regardless.

I’ve stayed here a few times, and each time is excellent! The area is really nice and safe as a solo female traveler. There are very close supermarkets and shopping. The riverside and the green are very nice and picturesque. The hotel itself is very clean and comfortable. This is my go-to place to stay when I go to London. I’ve had a better experience here than when I’ve stayed at other chain hotels, such as Marriotts and Hiltons. The staff is friendly and very helpful. One thing to mention is that there are a selection of rooms on the second floor that are not accessible by the elevator and require you to lift your baggage up a handful of stairs. Not bad, but may be worth being aware of if you may not be able to manage for whatever reason to ask the front desk for help.

The Selwyn- Home from Home

We stayed 3 nights in this hotel and from start to finish the service was excellent. We had booked one of the smaller double bedrooms; it was too small for us and next time we come we will book a larger room

Very pleasant venue. Happy with our room. Hoped for twin bed but none available - our double had excellent mattress which left other guest (my sister :)) undisturbed as i moved. Quality breakfast. Some noise (bins?) in night but i wear earplugs

The hotel was beautiful and wonderfully convenient. We had some grumbles about the room we were initially allocated but the staff were patient and receptive to our concerns and quickly provided us a new room with zero challenge. Wouldn't think of staying anywhere else for our next visit to Richmond.

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.
