    Wonderful property, delightful ambiance, indifferent staff.

    The attitude and indifference of the staff at nearly all levels. It really let what was a great property down. They simply did not care. Not just about us but the other guests as well, it seems. No communication of issues and closures of the restaurant, and a complete indifference to where our party could dine, was one example.

    The location, ambiance and room all exceeded expectations. Lovely atmosphere, handy location magnificent views across sweeping meadows to the Thames. All truly delightful.

    Breakfast in buffet form. When in a hotel I like to enjoy a full continental breakfast in buffet form so I can taste different things. Not only one plate

    The location was superb. The surroundings are beautiful. Staff very friendly. Clean hotel. The quality of the breakfast was great, but I’d have preferred breakfast in buffet form. Outstanding view over the river though.

    Overall a great place to stay, but the attempt to add a 'service charge' left a bad taste.

    An extra 'service charge' was added to my bill at checkout, which I asked the reception staff to take off. (If this was in return for the upgrade, it should have been made clear on checkin). The bathroom towel radiator leaked during the night (room 312).

    I had booked a standard double and was upgraded to a great deluxe room with balcony and river view etc.

    There was not actually what I did not like, but the out of date water facility, room windows which bring outside cold temparature is what you can enjoy if you accept that`s UK.

    Though the room was not faced with the hillside view, overall stay was filled with the nice surroundings of greenary of Richmond area and river Thames, which gave me the highest comfort. The facility and the room was an decent UK standard, which you can not expect from a global point of view. Breakfast was also a typical excellent British one, which you can enjoy once or twice per week as a traveler.

    The standard single room was very narrow so felt claustrophobic at night which impacted my sleep. I understand the restaurant is separate from the hotel but the room service menu wasn't great. Nor was the Club menu which is available for guests. All a matter of preference to be honest so I'm sure others might not be bothered by this at all

    Wonderful hotel, great location and lovely staff. Easy check-in/check-out process, great parking facilities and easy to navigate floors.

    The decor is a bit out dated and old (not in the grand traditional way of the outside which is original old and beautiful) which is a shame as it could be amazing. Love all of the old pictures and art work but the carpets and wallpaper cheapens it. Its also a shame that there is no stools in the lovely little bar room where the drinks are as this would have been a preferable place to sit instead of amongst the restaurant which is also very outdated.

    Gorgeous from the outside and location is absolutely perfect. The room size is fine and the view from the room is gorgeous Staff are really friendly and helpful, pianist was playing on the ground floor both days which was so lovely!
