Perfect place to stay in Richmond
We loved our stay at the Selwyn, and we will definitely be back! We enjoyed the bar and the outstanding breakfast. Our rooms were tastefully decorated, very comfortable, and so quiet as to provide a great night's sleep!

Have stayed a few times before but never in a cabin room. Like a shoe cupboard, no room to move. Great location and parking but wouldn’t stay again.

Good place to stay in Richmond
The hotel is conveniently located in walking distance from downtown Richmond and a short drive from Kew Gardens, Syon House and other historic attractions. The service was good and the room comfortable.

Small room. Decent location. Noisy early morning with laundry carts being rolled around on concrete outside the room waking me up at 6am - not ideal

The Selwyn- Home from Home
We stayed 3 nights in this hotel and from start to finish the service was excellent. We had booked one of the smaller double bedrooms; it was too small for us and next time we come we will book a larger room
