Bad Experience

We had fault air conditioning for our full three day stay which was not resolved in a satisfactory manner. This resulted in very poor sleep over three nights with the only solution offered being to call the receptionist during the night (every 2-3hours) to have them reset it when the stifling heat woke us. The window in the room also had no lock and could open fully (was this because of previous occupants of room 407 having the same issue?) . This is both a Health and Safety and security issue. I was eventually told the manager would discuss with us on our day of departure however they were not available so I was advised to email them !!! Also difficulties with the second reward room I had booked which took time to resolve. This was not a relaxing stay!!

The most poorly-run establishment I have ever witnessed. Money taken without reason, cards given to enter a stranger’s room, guests abandoned in hallways and so much more. Made Fawlty Towers look like The Ritz.

Wonderful weekend

We had such a lovely stay at the Selwyn last weekend. It’s perfectly placed for exploring Richmond, and the staff couldn’t do more to help. Super friendly, and welcoming, I was delighted to have gluten free croissants for breakfast! The shower was great and bed very comfortable. We were downstairs (room 102) and there was a bit of noise from walking above, but maybe take earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Still giving a 5/5 as we had such a lovely stay in the beautiful hotel.

There was an issue on arrival with the room requested not being available, however this was dealt with by the member of staff on duty at reception in a pleasant and courteous maner,with the offer of two alternative rooms and complimentary breakfast. Everything about this hotel is of a very high standard including the cleanliness, and room facilities. The staff throughout are pleasant and helpful,nothing is too much trouble. It was excellent customer service and we highly reccomend the Selywn.

The hotel has a very high standard of decor and service. Staff are very professional and attentive. Location couldnt be better as only a 10 minuite walk to the heart of Richmond. My room, 403 , is on the small side with a very small bathroom. You need to be we organised with your belongings. Being at the front of the property on a busy road it was well insulated and hardly heard the traffic, which was a plus. Pre booking a parking space is a must but it states "free parking" on advertising but its not ! £20 per day. Overall our stay was pleasurable and we would inquire for a larger room next time. We would definitely recommend this boutique hotel

While realistically we know what one can expect at 150 or so a night in London today, having seen so many positive reviews and having booked a ‘luxury’ room we expected a bit more from this one. The room was only just large enough for the double bed and with nothing apparent to set it apart - so much so we were left wondering if we'd been put in a standard room by mistake. Clean overall, a little dusty. The drinking glasses smudged so we had to wash them again. Staff were nice. Good breakfast (though no English breakfast). Certainly a nice place to stay but not so nice that it'd be worth going out the way to stay in Richmond for.

Fantastic decor and customer service. Car park is limited and some spaces very small. We booked “a Selwyn” room which is said to be bigger but is still a very small room with no safe. Breakfast was fantastic with wide choice of good quality ingredients.
