Perfect location for a stopover from Heathrow. Richmond is a charming place to unwind.
This hotel was great value for the location, easily walkable, comfy bed, staff was always so pleasant.
Very helpful staff, comfy room and nice relaxed lobby area. The breakfast was very good albeit the choices involving smoked salmon were off the menu as tge delivery had not come. But the staff offered plenty of alternatives. The stay was charming and very comfortable.
Really enjoyed our stay at the Selwyn. Really nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Great location as well. Walking distance for everything in Richmond. Would definitely stay there again.
The breakfast was excellent and the staff were friendly and very helpful. We didn’t need to park, except to be picked up and dropped off, but there wasn’t a lot of space to park. The rooms were very clean. There were a couple of minor inconsistencies with the replacement of amenities by housekeeping, but nothing worth mentioning. The only problem with our room was that we could hear people walking back and forth in the room above us, (the dining area, I think) one night quite late.

Front of house staff were excellent. If we had known the cabin room was so small we would have upgraded. For the cabin room would recommend the bathroom door be re hung to open the other direction.
