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.

The Selwyn is a very well specced hotel, the staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are finished and equipped to a high standard. Just be aware the small rooms are just that, quite small. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay.

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

As other reviews have mentioned, the rooms are tiny. But the location and quality of the hotel make it worth the cramped conditions, at least for a night! I don't think I could spend a week here, but just a night was exactly what we needed in the location we wanted.

We loved our stay here! Lovely room and property. Very walkable into Richmond. The staff were excellent as well! We got into London very early well before check in and they were able to get us in our room early no issues. Extremely welcoming and friendly. Will absolutely stay again if we’re ever back in the area!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
