The Selwyn, Richmond

Excellent for my trip nice

Sehr freundlicher und toller Empfang. Stilvolles und geschmackvolles Ambiente. Schöne Zimmer. Ca. 4-5 Fußminuten zur Railwaystation. Zur London-City ca. 20-25 Minuten. Frühstück zusätzlich a la card frisch zu bereitet. Wem die Fahrt nach London-City nicht abschreckt, ist es eine sehr guter Ausgangspunkt und eine sehr schöne, saubere und liebevolle Unterkunft.

The hotel is very pretty, quaint and immaculately presented and in a great location for exploring Richmond. The staff members were very friendly. But the rooms were tiny. We stayed in a Classic room and i just cannot imagine how there could possibly be a smaller room (Compact) listed withing their hotel. We had to kneel on the bed to open the wardrobe door (the hanging rail went from front to back, so it was really awkward to put things in or take things out) as there was only just enough space for the door to open and it touched the side of the bed. A tiny ‘dressing table’ that most of the space was taken up with the tablet to contact reception that didnt work. The pillows were not comfortable, nor was the mattress but understand that can be personal preference. The tea and coffee making facilities- you couldnt get to them as they were attached to the wardrobe right by the side of the bed, but the tiny bedside table was there.(my husband has a medical machine that took up the little space there was on the bedside table) No space to put the cups when making the tea so had to carry them to the tiny dressing table. And the tea bags weren’t replenished anyway. We just felt really claustrophobic and stuffy all weekend and the air con only stays on for a couple of hours no matter what setting, so i was up through the night time and again putting it back on. We knew we hadnt booked the biggest room there but have not stayed in a room that small for many years. Such a shame

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!

The most poorly-run establishment I have ever witnessed. Money taken without reason, cards given to enter a stranger’s room, guests abandoned in hallways and so much more. Made Fawlty Towers look like The Ritz.

Wonderful weekend We had such a lovely stay at the Selwyn last weekend. It’s perfectly placed for exploring Richmond, and the staff couldn’t do more to help. Super friendly, and welcoming, I was delighted to have gluten free croissants for breakfast! The shower was great and bed very comfortable. We were downstairs (room 102) and there was a bit of noise from walking above, but maybe take earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Still giving a 5/5 as we had such a lovely stay in the beautiful hotel.
