A lovely weekend supported by attentive staff
Pros:

Location, facilities, staff, quality of food and service.

Cons:

The positive is the bar and restaurant is undergoing a major renovation programme, but this did result in queues developing for breakfast and at times limited space during the evening in the members area that is being used as temporary provision. The staff were great in seeking to manage this challenge so it’s not so much about not liking this, more about this does add a different dynamic to a stay compared to our previous experiences at the hotel. Looking forward to coming back and seeing the new bar and restaurant.

An excellent stay in a fabulous setting. Fully recommended and would definitely return. Thank you!!!
Pros:

The overall setting of the Lensbury alongside the Thames and it’s close proximity to Teddington town centre and Bushy Park.

Cons:

A minor observation but car parking spaces appeared to be limited slightly.

Very upset and very disappointed
Pros:

We always love staying here when visiting family, this time it was a terrible experience. The whole of the first floor under construction! No breakfast area ? The whole of the restaurant and breakfast area closed ! NO mention of this when booking ? That was a real disappointment but to add insult to injury the breakfast was moved again to a conference area miles away from the main area and in a sterile uninviting area with conference candidates everywhere !! The staff were also very off ? Not their normal selves. The reception staff were particularly rude and I would not mind a conversation with the manger before I ad this to an online review.

Cons:

As above

Terrible as it was our honeymoon
Cons:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to formally lodge a serious complaint regarding my recent stay at your hotel, which fell far below acceptable standards of cleanliness, hygiene, and guest care.

During our stay, my husband and I were exposed to conditions that were not only unpleasant but also harmful. Both of us have since developed dermatitis, which we strongly believe is a direct result of the unsanitary environment within your premises. This is completely unacceptable and raises significant concerns about your hygiene protocols.

Furthermore, we encountered multiple instances of poor cleanliness throughout the room. The water glasses provided were visibly dirty, making it clear they had not been properly cleaned or replaced. The floors were heavily stained, contributing to an overall sense of neglect and disregard for basic housekeeping standards. These are not minor oversights—they represent a fundamental failure to maintain a safe and clean environment for guests.

We have taken photographic evidence documenting all of these issues, including the dirty glasses, stained floors, and other concerning conditions. This evidence clearly supports the seriousness of our complaint.

Given the circumstances, we find it entirely unreasonable to have been charged for such an experience. We are therefore requesting a full refund for our stay. Anything less would not adequately reflect the inconvenience, discomfort, and health impact we have endured.

Please treat this matter with the urgency it deserves. If we do not receive a satisfactory response within a reasonable timeframe, we will have no hesitation in escalating this complaint further and sharing our experience through appropriate consumer channels.

We look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

Eliza zaman

Disappointing - but I would stay again looking for improvements after the dining area refurbishment has been completed.
Pros:

The actual site and grounds.

Cons:

The main dining room was being refurbished and we had to eat in the spa lounge. We were not informed of this when we booked.
The selection of food for dinner was limited and what we actually ate was disappointing. We also had to book a time for breakfast which was a nuisance.
Our bedroom was facing tennis courts and really noisy fans or air conditioning units were very irritating as we sleep with the window open.
Our room was right above an outdoor terrace where wedding guests celebrating kept us awake until after midnight.
