Nice hotel but let down by food and service
Pros:

The room was nice and very nice large bathroom. Overall surroundings were nice and the bar and restaurant area and bedrooms are well furnished

Cons:

The noise and the heat in our bedroom. We were above the bar and it was noisy at night and it was very hot with room temp control doing nothing at all. Lamb was inedible and my husband sent back and only had that meal taken off the bill and had to pay for a replacement meal. No offer of anything like a coffee or drink or anything since it completely marred our experience. Expensive and not worth the money. Two scallops were £15

Things to improve for a comfortable stay
Pros:

Beautiful old hotel. Quiet rooms. Great shower. Excellent bedding.

Cons:

Air conditioning didn't work and made for an uncomfortable sleep in the heat. The fan couldn't do enough in such heat. The blinds at the windows don't keep out the light, you're not going to get a good sleep without an eye-mask which I didn't have. The shower gels are very old lady feminine, would be best to have something unisex. Check out is too early at 11am should be 12 midday. View was over the car park. With a £200 a night price tag it should be a lot better.

Wonderful.
Pros:

The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The location is superb. We were also surprised and delighted to be upgraded to a suite, and the facilities were fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed our very comfortable stay, roast Sunday dinner in the restaurant, and a delicious breakfast. Highly recommended.

Nice hotel but parking is a pain
Pros:

Nice hotel with good restaurant and comfortable rooms. Excellent breakfast. Helpful staff.

Cons:

Parking is a bit of a walk away in a public car park. Despite car park having a notice that parking is free after 6pm and before 9am we still got a ticket at 8:30am! Not very tourist friendly!

Lovely stay, staff were very friendly and very centrally located to the market place. Room was modern, and very clean wi
Pros:

Really central to the market place in Richmond.
Room and ensuite were really nice, modern, very clean and well equipped with proper fridge, fresh milk and water carafes. Staff were extremely friendly. Probably the cleanest hotel room we’ve ever stayed in!

Cons:

Our room was extremely hot, even with the windows open we couldn’t get enough fresh air in to cool it down. A fan is provided but its not efficient enough unfortunately. I think because our room was above the kitchen, it was alot warmer in general. The bed unfortunately was just too uncomfortable, there was two single mattresses put together but one was alot more firmer than the other.
