Nice little hotel with great staff
The hotel is cheap and cheerful. Its nice and clean, and the staff are helpful and friendly. We were there to attend a concert and i must say, its location to the train station is fantastic.

The hotel certainly doesn't deserve some of the negative reviews seen recently. It's simply a no-frills hotel and serves its purpose as a place to stay for the night. No security issues. The windows do shut properly - one just needs a minimum amount of intelligence to work out how. The carpets are clean as is the bathroom. Quite a good shower and comfortable toilet although a tiny basin. Useful car park behind the hotel. Reception staff were friendly. The only real issue that we had was that we wanted an early check-in (only 1 hour earlier) and the receptionist offered it for £10 extra which we found unaccomodating and slightly exploitative. Obviously they can't do this for everyone but a kind favour for some paying guests wouldnt go amiss.

Terrible Hotel
The hotel experience was so terrible that we couldnt stay there one night. The room was not in the condition that was advertised, and the room was dirty. The toilet wouldn't flush, and the bathroom door couldn't close at all. We are trying to get our money back via hotels.com but the owner refuses to answer. They don't want to give us back a refund it seems

Very friendly staff and very welcoming. Close to the train station and places to eat. Hotel is very tired and shabby with a Fawlty Towers vibe. If you have any sense of humour, you'll love it!

Great location for Richmond High street. Friendly stuff. Bear in mind there is a fly path over your head - gets noisy very early in the morning.

Window wouldn’t close properly, so room not secured and very drafty.

Cheap and shabby but staff lovely!
You get what you pay for with this property, This is a very budget hotel. The place is a little dilapidated and shoddy looking, there was small splashes in the bathroom up the wall where it hadnt been cleaned very well near the toilet, (looked like blood or something) also there was a tag from clothing just on the floor near the table which made me think the room hadnt been cleaned thoroughly. The bedding was clean and the room was tidy but just a little shoddy with peeling paintwork.
The staff member who checked us in was really lovely and they kindly stored pur luggage for us which was a huge help! They were very friendly and obviously wanted us to have a good stay. This hotel just needs renovating really, I personally would pay an extra £20 or so and stay somewhere else until alot of it has been taken care of.

Unfortunately the bed was not comfortable, they need new beds , the street noise and plane also flying over did not allow for a restful sleep.

My night in a hell hole.
The room is filthy, the shower is mouldy with broken tiles. The shower head is filthy and mouldy so couldn’t even shower. it’s unsafe I’m a single female on the ground floor and the locks are broken on the windows. There’s a massive crack in the glass of the window. The bed is like a slab of concrete. It’s boiling hot but can’t open a window there’s a very cheap very noisy fan. Only 1 member of staff who was unhelpful. By far the worse hotel experience I’ve ever had in my life. Feel dirty, feel exhausted, can’t wait to get out of here. Spoke to the 1 staff member about the problems he said he knows how bad it is so that is reflected in the price. £135 for 1 night in a literal hell hole is not reflected in the price.

This was a perfect place for my daughter and I to stay. It’s very basic and perfectly adequate. Short walk to town, able to watch locals bustling about, very helpful staff (esp Sara), clean, small shower but amazing water pressure.

You get what you pay for
This is a tough property to judge, because as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. The location is great and close to the train station and Richmond city, in general. That was a positive. The hotel is certainly not "3-star" as they claim. If it were in the USA, it would maybe at most get 1-1.5 stars maximum. Its similar to one of the roadside motels you have on a highway, and for Euro standards it is equivalent to a mediocre hostel. Rooms were teeny tiny and very hot. Fan was tiny and room was sweltering in summer. The carpet was absolutely filthy and bathroom not much better. The room is seriously dated and really needs a complete gutting and remodel. Pay a little more and stay in a more modern place is my advice. The pictures were absolutely untrue and not a reflection of the state of this property. It really needs upgrading desperately. In saying all the above, if you are on a really tight budget and just want a simple bed to lie on and have little expectations, then this is the right place for you.
