Find the Cheap Richmond Upon Thames Hotels

Lovely time away. Staff were pleasant & accommodating. Recommended. Additional charges for mini bar & room service.

We stayed here for our wedding, and were really quite underwhelmed. We had hoped to stay somewhere that felt somewhat luxurious, but the entire hotel feels quite outdated. While they can't control the heat, it's unfortunate that they don't have any air conditioning - it made it really challenging to sleep, so I would recommend staying somewhere else over the summer months. This was exacerbated by the fact the bed was extremely uncomfortable - there was either a bar across the mattress or a spring loose, but either way I couldn't get any sleep (not ideal the night before your wedding!) The breakfast food was not bad, although staff were slightly abrupt with us until they realised we were there for our wedding (at which point they did become far more friendly!). Our parents stayed with us at the hotel, and were similarly disappointed by the hotel - one was staying very near their events room and so was kept up by the noise coming from that. The drinks in the bar are extremely expensive, even when you take into account the location. It's also a shame that the upstairs & outdoor area that looks out onto the river is for private party use only. It means that when it's a nice day and you'd like to sit outside for a drink, there are only 2 tables at the side of the hotel overlooking the carpark - not particularly joyous! Check out was also a bit of a nightmare - after a certain time in the morning the doors automatically lock you out (which we discovered while going to the car to pack up). You then need to queue at reception to get this undone so you can get back into your room, which unsurprisingly at check out time is quite frustrating. Overall, not what we expected for the price. It's a massive shame because the property is beautiful and in an incredible location and they have so much potential to make this spectacular with some care and investment.

Booked this for a visit to Kew Gardens Xmas event. Location good for that. Impressive facade and reception and pleasant dining room for breakfast. Used car park at rear which was rather cramped. Room was a bit disappointing. Blind disabled to avoid view of adjacent building site so no natural light. Small and unable to open small wardrobe door fully as it hit the bed. Nice tea/coffee making facilities but limited coffee pods (no decaf even when requested). Bed comfy and all clean and pleasant. With a few tweaks could be 5star.

I work in Kingston which is not far away and this place ticked the boxes for price, location and free parking. It’s in a quite residential street that is unlimited waiting so it was strangely easy to find a space. There is a rear car park but this appears to be generally not available. I had a quick check in with rooms 1 and 2 appearing to be on the ground floor. My room was a double and had a lovely comfy bed. It was of some size and I had a good clear nights sleep. Very quiet area. Room was clean and had contemporary decoration with a little wear but nothing for me to be unhappy with. Had shower which was good constant hot water and smoke towels. Complimentary tray was very good. If you’re there on a Sunday the bar closes early at around 2030h (depending on how busy) and food finishes at 1900h. No breakfasts available on the Monday or Tuesdays as they are closed. This is made clear on booking and in the room. There’s a conservatory to the rear and a pleasant beer garden with efficient table service. The beer garden in the sun is a nice place to be. I loved it. I did have a surprise that (with service charge at 12.5%) a pint of draught Birra Moretti was £7.03. There food looked really good and if you’re a resident at hotel there’s a discount I think of 15 or 20%. The Sunday roasts looked very impressive. Overall a place I’d stay again. Slightly disappointed no breakfast or last opening on Sunday but that is made very clear on booking.

The hotel itself is wonderful. The staff at the hotel were nice. The location is really good. The sleeping comfort was very comfortable.
