The hotel itself was great. The rooms were spacious, and the bar was great. Check-in process was fairly slow and they didn't have any umbrellas to borrow to go out in the rain, which we found odd particularly in the UK, but other than that we had a great stay.

We had a lovely mid week evening at The Petersham, staff were very friendly, lounge and bedrooms comfortable with lovely views and walks on the door step. However the restaurant had a very limited uninspiring menu, burger and chips, curry and salad, which was very disappointing and would make us think twice about booking again.

The hotel is well located and a pleasant walk into Richmond. Our ‘superior’ room was well decorated but very small with very limited storage space - no drawers and limited hanging space. We had to ask for a table to be removed from the room so had space to lay our standard sized case, given there was no where to unpack our things. We didn’t eat in the hotel as breakfast was very expensive and there were plenty of other options in Richmond. A pleasant stay but not sure I would choose it again.

From the moment we arrived we had a wonderful experience.
Jordan on reception was outstanding, looking after us, going above and beyond for my husbands birthday.
Our room was stunning, with every comfort, amazing views.
The Petersham is a little paradise on Richmond Hill, we will definitely be back.

Loved our room with a balcony, river view and just the right size. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. The longe was peaceful, the dining room and service was excellent and the Bar lounge had a wonderful view over the river and a cosy place to be and meet friends. Everywhere was soo tidy and clean . We had a great stay and have come back home refreshed. Breakfast was delicious and do I g room was spacious and we were very well looked after. Thank you to everyone that made our stay such a happy and restful time .
