Excellent hotel, have stayed numerous times when I don’t want to be in central London. Short stroll to the station and into London quickly, and then back to tranquility and a lovely hotel afterwards. Lovely views of the river.

This hotel is set in beautiful surroundings with plenty of opportunities to go for a walk in the park or along by the river. The restaurant was very pleasant and the staff professional friendly and attentive. The food excellent!! If I had to give a mildly negative view it would have to be a few minor notes about our room. We booked a standard room. The cleanliness was excellent with plentiful supplies of mini toiletries/tea and coffee. The bathroom was spacious but the shower pressure not so good. I found the space to hang our clothes was very limited . The door to our room opened directly into the corridor with very little space between the door and the bed, which meant anyone walking there had direct view to the bed.when my husband opened the door to leave the room. These are, of course, probably deemed as minor but would make me think twice before booking a standard room again.

The Petersham was a perfect stop on our longer journey. The hotel is in a beautiful and walkable area of Richmond, close to the river, shops, pubs and restaurants. The hotel itself clearly has a lot of history and as such is an older building. When we visited it was incredibly hot and the hotel has no air-conditioning except in the restaurant. The staff were wonderful and the restaurant staff in particular helped us navigate our gluten free dietary requirements safely. I would definitely stay again, but may choose somewhere with a.c in the summer.

The hotel was easy to find and had good parking. The hotel is beautiful inside and out. Reception staff were a bit hard work. I stayed 2 nights which I booked separately. The first night was room 151 on the ground floor. Accessible with great facilities and a really nice modern bathroom, with a great power shower. I stayed in 32degree heat which the UK isn’t designed for! The window didn’t open but it had air con (clicks all night) and two fans and we were comfortable. The second night I stayed alone, so had a cosy single (it lived up to its name!) in room 320. 3rd floor, more traditional, pathetic shower over a bath that took a good 5 minutes for the water to warm up. No air con but a big sash window that opened wide… onto scaffolding. So a fan with a closed window felt safest and it was hot. Workmen outside my window at 8am made me glad I’d shut it though. Breakfast is delicious. Evening meals are limited choice on the club menu but also good. They do add a 13.5% service charge to your bill. The August offer of dinner, bed and breakfast for 2 is good value for money. The hotel is in easy walking distance of Richmond, with nice walks along the Thames and meadows on your doorstep. Overall I’d stay again but maybe not in a heatwave.

Lovely property (with a price tag that reflects it!) But very disappointed that they add a service charge without telling you on your room bill. We ordered no food and had no additional services (didnt even call reception!) So was confused what this was for. Turns out the hotel is trying to add a tip for a room stay to supplement wages. Just pay your staff properly and don't try and push it on to the customer to make that decision. Left a sour taste and wouldnt come back as aresult.
