Fantastic affordable accommodation and location for exploring Hampton Court Palace, Bushy Park and beyond.
Pros:

This is our go to place to stay for Hampton Court Palace visits. Fantastic location right on the door step of the palace so great for visits, also excellent transport links into London and surrounding areas as the train station is only a short walk. The on site parking is great too. The property is always spotlessly clean, well maintained and managed. Great to have the associated Cafe across the road offering a discount for staying guests, and Bushy park right on the doorstep for those more energetic guests wanting a run or leisurely walk amongst the beautiful resident deer. A short walk down the road gives you access to a plethora of Cafes, restaurants, pubs and shops. I can highly recommend The Mute Swan, food, service and atmosphere are fantastic, but I would suggesting booking a table as each time we have been it has been extremely busy!

Cons:

The only thing I would highlight is to be careful of the hot water in the kitchen when washing up as it is absolutely scalding hot, not a bad thing if wanting to wash dishes, but something to be mindful of.

Horrible
Pros:

I booked this for the location for an embroidery course at Hampton Court.

Cons:

I arrived and could not stay in the room because of cigarette smoke. The manager said he could not switch my room, and when I told him I have respiratory problems and allergic to smoke he just laughed at me. I had paid in advance and now have lost $700 and had to find another place to stay, which of course was also expensive since it was so last minute. Awful smell, awful manager--beware!

Cons:

I know we stayed in a heatwave but it was just so so hot. The fans weren’t adequate at all. We were on the top floor there is no roof space so the heat in the apartment was off the scale. We couldn’t sleep at all. Need much better fans or air con. Would stay again in winter but never summer.
