Great Stay for London & Windsor
Pros:

Lovely Property. Well situated for Kew Gardens & Windsor Castle as well as Central London. Air con is a life saver. Staff super friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Basement rooms 102-106 are a bit noisy in a morning as they’re below the breakfast bar.

Pros:

Loved the neighborhood, the staff was amazing, close to train, easy to navigate around to other neighborhoods in London and great restaurants around the area

Cons:

I wish the room had a refrigerator in it, we were in higher than normal temps and it would have been helpful. Staff did offer ice, and other options

Great find, walkable into Richmond. We would definitely return.
Pros:

We stayed as attending a wedding nearby, during the heatwave so the air-con was fabulous! Best 2 nights sleep in ages!
Location for a short stroll into Richmond to find a place to eat in the evening was great too. Lovely hotel, comfy bed, quality bedding and pillows, very clean - all the things I look for! We booked a larger room as reviews mention very small rooms and it was just right for a couple.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Selwyn is just a short walk to the downtown area, theater, and train station. Lots of pubs and restaurants to choose from. Tube into city is less than 30 minutes. Lots of local buses to get around the area easily. Front desk and restaurant staff were extremely polite and helpful. Room was quiet and comfortable. Great location, great staff, bathrooms very nicely remodeled.

Cons:

Room was a little too small. Had to maneuver around luggage. The front desk offered to store large suitcases but we needed them regularly so we kept them in the room.
Tub in room was rather difficult to get in and out due to a high front wall and slippery surfaces.

Pros:

Great location with a short walk to Richmond Riverside. Beautiful house / bedrooms.

The receptionists were great. Very personable and friendly. On arrival they’d recognised we were there for a birthday and wished a happy birthday as well as including complimentary breakfast for the next morning. Highly recommend. A special shout out to Kelly on reception.

Cons:

There was nothing to not like.
