Will be back - a hidden gem!
Pros:

The staff were 10/10 - nothing was too much trouble. The room was spacious and tasteful decor with beautiful bedding made it feel like a cost home away from home. Housekeeping did a lovely job. We will most certainly be back.

Cons:

Parking is a little scares but the team at the hotel make it work the best they can!

Great location to Hampton Court palace. In hot weather beware as no AC
Pros:

Location to the palace where my event was and nice location on the river

Cons:

With hot weather - no AC. Quite noisy on ground floor when people walking around in room above but it is an old property so can be expected I guess

Beautiful Mitre a wonderful place to explore Hampton Court and riverside walks
Pros:

From the moment we arrived we were greeted and made to feel welcome. The court room was beautiful and well located to parks, palace and buses. The breakfast was delicious and generous and all the staff were kind and helpful. It’s a beautiful location next to the River Thames.

Great stay keep on doing what you are doing
Pros:

We are yearly regulars here when we visit the Hampton Court Music Festival. There is always a friendly welcome, the rooms are always clean and comfortable. Breakfast is excellent and very relaxed and great views over the river.

Cons:

I think the only thing the Mitre really needs to think about now is getting air conditioning into the rooms. With the climate changing and the summer starting earlier I think its a change they need to implement

Great hotel in a lovely setting right on the river
Pros:

The room was big with a very comfy bed. The location was great as we were going to Hampton Court Palace which was just the other side of the road.
Our room was quiet, no road sounds and the staff were very friendly.

Cons:

Its not so much didn't like but very limited parking spaces, we arrived early so were able to get one. The gentleman looking after the car park was very friendly and helpful.

Pros:

Its location is excellent when visiting Hampton Court. The quirky nature of the building was charming and eating on the terrace by the river was just lovely.

Cons:

Hot tap in our bathroom was loose and moved around when you turned it on.
