Lovely hotel and staff
Pros:

Lovely hotel on the Thames with a perfect location for Hampton Court Palace. All the staff were helpful and friendly, especially the doorman. Our room was spacious and had access to the courtyard which was nice. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice.

Cons:

No complaints really but the hot water from the sink tap was exceptionally hot. Had to be careful.

Lovely homely hotel
Pros:

Comfy room, excellent breakfast, and friendly staff. The restaurant overlooking the river is particularly delightful

Cons:

The room was a bit hot due to radiators being on prior - and near the road so we weren't keen to leave the windows open overnight due to noise
