Good place to stay in Richmond

The hotel is conveniently located in walking distance from downtown Richmond and a short drive from Kew Gardens, Syon House and other historic attractions. The service was good and the room comfortable.

The property is very nicely looked anfter and finished to a very high spec. The staff were very professional and friendly. The hotel is perfectly situated in Richmond and is close to everything. The only downside was to discover that it costs £20 per night to park the car! However the cost of the hotel was reasonable so not a disaster. I would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to return soon.

Third time staying at the hotel £10.00 early check-in is a joke, and charged for two days parking, this is my third stay at this hotel in less than twelve months has muddy my views on staying here again.
