7.0/10

The hotel is conveniently located within a 7-minute walk to Richmond town centre, but it's important to note that it's over a pub with music playing. The rooms offer 2 very comfortable beds, although the freshness of milk for coffee is a hit or miss. Service could use more focus on customer service as it seems lacking, even if I was a potential bar customer. The location is reasonably close to the train station, but consider that it's in the flight path of Heathrow airport. Dining options vary, with both out-of-date and fresh milk available. The facilities are decent, but there may be room for improvement in certain areas.

The hotel is conveniently located within a 7-minute walk to Richmond town center, but being above a pub with music playing might not be ideal for everyone. The fresh milk in the room was a nice touch, but being on the flight path for Heathrow airport could be noisy at times.
