Location directly opposite the famous Turner's View of the Thames
Complimentary access to the extensive Cedars Health & Leisure Club next door
Heal's mattresses in every room that guests consistently rave about
快速概覽: A charming Georgian grand dame that suffers from 'wedding fever' on weekends and some tired corridors, but makes up for it with unbeatable park access.
由 @rishita.31 評論: I felt like I was living in a modern period drama here. The decor is stunningly bold, and my morning coffee on the balcony was the peaceful reset I needed. That bathtub? Absolute heaven for a long soak.
住過這裡的客人說
The hype
Guests adore the location and the staff's friendliness, but opinions split on value for money depending on room size.
Reality check
You might encounter a 'damp' or musty smell in the older Georgian wings, and room service trays sometimes linger in hallways for hours.
You're planning morning runs or walks in Richmond Park (it's literally across the street)
You appreciate a mix of historic character and modern plumbing
You're bringing a dog—the park access is world-class
清潔與維護
8.5
Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though hallway tray removal is slow.
Bathroom hygiene: Mostly sparkling, but older Georgian rooms can have grout issues or faint damp smells.
Maintenance: Hill Collection is sharp; Georgian wing has some creaky floors and peeling paint in corners.
Linens & towels: High quality, crisp, and fluffy.
Odors & scents: Common areas smell fresh (Elemis products often used), but watch out for mustiness in the oldest rooms.

“I am a light sleeper and would appreciate a room in the Hill Collection or a Georgian room specifically located away from the ballroom and function suites to avoid event noise. A view of the meadows would be a bonus.”
常見問題與隱藏小貼士
預訂前您真正想知道的一切。
Is there a pool?
Not in the hotel itself, but guests get free access to Cedars Health & Leisure Club next door, which has a pool, sauna, and steam room.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, very. Dogs are welcome for £35/night, with access to the bar and terrace (but not the main restaurant).
How far is the Tube?
Richmond Station (District Line/Overground) is a 15-20 minute walk downhill (or a short bus ride/taxi back up).
Is there AC?
Yes, most rooms have air conditioning, which is a rarity for historic UK hotels.
What is the parking situation?
On-site parking is available for ~£15/24h. It's first-come, first-served, but usually has space.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate. If not, it's around £22, which some guests find steep for a buffet.
內幕秘訣
✨
Book direct to potentially waive the £15 parking fee.
✨
The 'Hill Collection' rooms have a hidden wardrobe behind a sliding bathroom wall—it's a space-saving trick that confuses people.
✨
Ask for a 'Richmond Hill yoga mat' at reception to use in your room.
出發前需要知道的 5 件事
💡The walk back from the station is a steep uphill hike—don't attempt it with heavy luggage.
💡There is a 'blue night light' in the Hill Collection bathrooms that stays on unless you find the specific master switch by the bed.
💡Room service trays can sometimes be found lingering in the hallways for half the day.
💡The 'Georgian' rooms can smell faintly musty or damp due to the age of the building.
💡You can hear the deer bellowing in Richmond Park during the autumn rutting season from some rooms.
