    A lot of stairs to climb if you were on a higher level.

    Location and price. No frills but good for the price and had a private car park.

    The room we stayed is overdue for a makeover. The curtains are old, stained and torn and held together with paper clips. There is mold on the bath tub caulking. Some of the grout in the tiles is brittle, shrunk, falling out and missing altogether. One of the bedside tables wasn’t cleaned, there was some sticky sugary looking liquid not wiped up. This building is old. There were no electrical outlets either side of the bed to plug in whatever. So we stretched our electrical cables across the room in front of the bathroom – a potential trip hazard.

    Close to Richmond Station. Friendly, helpful staff.

    Very creaky floors, could hear the room above moving around loudly and the stairs very creaky. Not great if a light sleeper

    The gent on reception was the most helpful hotel staff member I've ever come across. He is an absolute credit to the hotel. He helped me find somewhere to park and was more than willing to answer any questions. Rooms are basic but exactly all you need really

    It's a shame that they don't do breakfast any more. The summer prices are high, but probably not unusual. I wish they would close their fire doors rather than lodge them open. There's a lot of halogen lighting which can make the rooms very hot.

    It's a friendly hotel in an amazing location. It's handy to have parking, and I've been lucky because it's always been available when I've stayed here. The bigger rooms are bright and have enough space for a small family.

    As usual, I see value for money, and accept that an old building that is refitted for lodging will have its imperfections. It was a good bath tub, but the movable shower screen allowed leakage onto the floor. We noticed some rusting along the bottom of the tub where that happened. Morning traffic noises awoke me before my alarm did.

    Easy walk from Richmond station. The location is perfect if you want to walk by the river or into Richmond Park, or visit Kew Gardens. Who needs luxury when one has a comfortable place to sleep in such a lovely location with plenty of places nearby to get good food and a beer, tea or coffee.

    Unfortunately, and it's nothing the hotel can avoid, there is major construction next door. It is very noisy after 8am and daytime but no real noise evening or night to disturb sleep.

    Great location for a short stay to Richmond or for visiting Twickenham rugby. Close to overground, underground and bus connections. Clean and comfortable. 24hr reception.

    Shower smelt a bit and easy to hear other guests in the corridor. First come first serve in the car park, I got a space no problem but might have been tricky otherwise.

    Very good location. It is very very basic but the price reflects that. More of a clean room in a hostel rather than a hotel.

    The traffic into the office, though this was obviously nothing to do with the hotel.

    The gentleman on the front desk went above and beyond to help, I was really grateful. He found me a parking space, actually walking to the car park with me to find a solution, and, as it was late, then googled places to eat nearby so that I could grab something to eat. He was really kind and polite.
