Nice place to stay but a very tiny room for the price and breakfast extra making it expensive. But plenty of places in town to eat. Good location.

Pros:

Booked The Selwyn for my in-laws, as they were visiting overnight. They mentioned the rooms were very comfortable and well maintained, though the rooms were on the small side. Location was conveniently close to Richmond Station.
There was a bit of a confusion during check-in, despite me booking the rooms to their name, but all was cleared.
The service was impeccable and the staff was very professional, which was appreciated. We will choose The Selwyn for future stays.

Cons:

Rooms a bit small and parking a tad limited, but the hotel was clear about it.
