From the moment I arrived, my experience at this charming boutique hotel stood out. The building’s quaint exterior, beautiful landscaping, and stunning statement pieces outside immediately caught my eye. Stepping inside, I was delighted by the modern yet nostalgic decor—it felt like a perfect blend of old Hollywood elegance and contemporary comfort. What truly made my stay exceptional was the warm welcome and attention to detail from the management and staff. I had been feeling nervous about my arrival and transportation arrangements, but everything went smoothly. When I reached the meeting point, there was a gentleman holding a sign with my name, Kyra Ketchison. He greeted me kindly, helped me with my connection, and ensured I got safely back to my hotel. Although there was a bit of confusion with two drivers arriving, I appreciated the quick communication—it showed attentiveness and care. The next morning, I was greeted by a lovely woman who answered all my questions with patience and warmth. She made me feel completely at ease and welcomed as I enjoyed breakfast. The waitstaff was equally delightful—smiling, friendly, and genuinely kind—which made my experience even more comfortable. Coming from Hawaii, I felt a real sense of Aloha here, which meant so much to me, especially after hearing that Londoners can sometimes be more reserved. My room was immaculate and thoughtfully prepared—the crisp linens, plush bed, soft towels, complimentary coffee, and bottled watKetcheson

Booked a "classic room" for husband and I and photo's on the website looked very nice and big enough for the two people. In reality the actual size of the room was so small, you couldn't even open up the wardrobe door enough to hang your clothes! Car parking spaces are very small and they tend to overbook the spaces so when you arrive, there aren't any spaces available. We didn't know the hotel was directly under the Heathrow flight path so was woken up at 4am every morning. Won't be returning.

The curtain was broken, letting in a lot of light from outside and I couldn't sleep properly The shower door slides open when ur using the shower , I had to hold open the shower door Although I held down the shower door to keep it closed while I was showering. The water came out of the corner and got the entire bathroom floor flooded. Try going to the toilet with your feet in the water. It wasn't fun. Mr Gurung was quite nice. Rest of the staff... mesh. I stayed in that room 401 last year and it foooded then too. lol don't stay in 401.

Lovely small hotel, I’ve visited 3 times in about 4 months. Always a nice, comfy, quiet room that is great for a good night’s sleep. Terrific location in Richmond and above all, a wonderful and caring staff.
