I had to wait 20 minutes to check in when finally someone turned up. They took a ‘deposit’ on my credit card and have still not refunded it, 2 weeks after my stay. I would avoid this hotel and certainly won’t be returning.

Great location and will stay again
Booked as an overnight after game at Twickenham. Price is the price on weekends like this but really surprised, location the way the building looks and when you walk inside bit of a wow factor. Staff were really nice and polite even I turned up drunk after the game. Breakfast was great but to be honest I did not have much as back in the road to get home. Will stay again on another London trip

The hotel is very welcoming and everyone is friendly and willing to help. The location is perfect and just a few mins away from the town. The room was clean and cozy and I would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful time!

Great Selwyn Stay
Nice and convenient property for visiting family. One thing to note, the property has a water softener so all the water is run through that. They also give out large bottles of water for drinking which is nice. The location is tucked away enough from the busier parts of Richmond, however it’s a short 5min walk to the train station. There are multiple grocery stores nearby and Gail’s has good coffee and breakfast.

Darling property in a cute safe town outside of London. Easy to get in and out of London on the public metro system. Good breakfast and great staff.

Enjoyed the aesthetic of the main entrance of the hotel. Room was nicely decorated but wasn’t totally clean, noticeable chewing gum stuck to rug, dirty curtains etc
Our room was near linen bins so we were woken at 5-5:30am one morning when bins were being moved, not an ideal start to the day.
Other than this, the hotel was nice - if returning we would consider requesting a room on the first floor as an alternative for the noise.
