Very friendly staff and very welcoming. Close to the train station and places to eat. Hotel is very tired and shabby with a Fawlty Towers vibe. If you have any sense of humour, you'll love it!

Great location for Richmond High street. Friendly stuff. Bear in mind there is a fly path over your head - gets noisy very early in the morning.

Unfortunately the bed was not comfortable, they need new beds , the street noise and plane also flying over did not allow for a restful sleep.

The hotel is not in good condition. The room I had do not have a toilet or shower. I should’ve perhaps realised that when booking. But, this was the first and last time I shall stay here

This was a perfect place for my daughter and I to stay. It’s very basic and perfectly adequate. Short walk to town, able to watch locals bustling about, very helpful staff (esp Sara), clean, small shower but amazing water pressure.

We stayed here end of June for 2 nights.
There is parking for free if you can get in as the parking lot is tiny and fits maybe 5 mini cars. We got in the first night but had to park in the local NCP lot by the station at £22 for 24hrs (we were in London in all day). The staff were very helpful though and did message me that spaces weren’t available.
The room was pretty tired and worn. The curtains were in tatters and had a plaster hanging off one of them which was gross. The window latches were broken and dangerous. It was so hot that the portable fan did nothing.
The beds were comfy and clean.
The bathroom was very old and the shower was awful. Toilet seat was broken. The radiator was stuck on and the bathroom was hot which made the room hot. I was sweating while brushing my teeth as I had the door shut to stop the bedroom becoming over heated.
The kettle worked and the free tea was good.
The staff were helpful.
I had prepaid on Expedia and on arrival I thought they took a security deposit but they took full payment again. On check out there was a lot of hassle to show I had been wrongly charged. Eventually later that day I did get my money refunded.
I don’t feel that the quality of the room justifies the price. I was told it’s new management so I hope they can take this feedback and clean up the rooms.

In terms of the property, this hotel is older and well used, however we found it clean and great location for exploring Richmond. An easy short walk to the under & overground & bus stop. An easy walk to cafes, shops.
This place is a jem because of the staff. The staff we encountered (Ian & Sarah) were very helpful, kind, friendly and accommodating. They both had great recommendation for places to eat and see around Richmond.
Sarah was sweet to connect with us after our day out, to see what we had been up to in the city and if we liked the pubs, shops and sights.
