The Selwyn is a lovely boutique hotel close to everything Richmond has to offer. The staff were attentive, the room was lovely, the proximity to shops, the river, and gardens was excellent. I will stay again next time I’m in Richmond.

What a lovely hotel. I love the location, a short walk to high street, a Pilates studio I enjoyed, to public transportation. I found the room to be clean and a nice size. Loved that it has air conditioning. The staff was pleasant and friendly. The feel of the space is elevated and serene. Would absolutely return to stay again.

Had a lovely stay while visiting Richmond and Wimbledon, staff friendly and super helpful. Only minor thing were the rooms were small however that is probably because of the period property. We would definitely stay again.

Hotel was immaculate and staff were really helpful. I'd recommend getting one of the bigger rooms if there are 2 of you, as the cabin rooms are on the small side for 2 people, but everything else was great, bed and pillows were really comfortable so we had a good night's sleep, we would definitely return.

So glad I chose this hotel when attending the tennis at Wimbledon. The staff were so helpful, the young lady who checked us in could not have done more to make us comfortable and ensure we got to the tennis on time, The barman was charming along with the breakfast staff. Rooms while compact have everything you need. Thank you everyone for a perfect stay.

We stayed in one of the small cabin rooms for one night. It is certainly cozy, but had everything needed, was nicely appointed and very comfortable. On an unusually warm day, the AC was quiet and cold as well. Breakfast was wonderful, and staff prompt and courteous. Very nicely maintained property, would recommend and stay again if back in Richmond.
