We loved our stay here! Lovely room and property. Very walkable into Richmond. The staff were excellent as well! We got into London very early well before check in and they were able to get us in our room early no issues. Extremely welcoming and friendly. Will absolutely stay again if we’re ever back in the area!

The hotel is very pretty, quaint and immaculately presented and in a great location for exploring Richmond. The staff members were very friendly. But the rooms were tiny. We stayed in a Classic room and i just cannot imagine how there could possibly be a smaller room (Compact) listed withing their hotel. We had to kneel on the bed to open the wardrobe door (the hanging rail went from front to back, so it was really awkward to put things in or take things out) as there was only just enough space for the door to open and it touched the side of the bed. A tiny ‘dressing table’ that most of the space was taken up with the tablet to contact reception that didnt work. The pillows were not comfortable, nor was the mattress but understand that can be personal preference. The tea and coffee making facilities- you couldnt get to them as they were attached to the wardrobe right by the side of the bed, but the tiny bedside table was there.(my husband has a medical machine that took up the little space there was on the bedside table) No space to put the cups when making the tea so had to carry them to the tiny dressing table. And the tea bags weren’t replenished anyway. We just felt really claustrophobic and stuffy all weekend and the air con only stays on for a couple of hours no matter what setting, so i was up through the night time and again putting it back on. We knew we hadnt booked the biggest room there but have not stayed in a room that small for many years. Such a shame

Bad Experience

We had fault air conditioning for our full three day stay which was not resolved in a satisfactory manner. This resulted in very poor sleep over three nights with the only solution offered being to call the receptionist during the night (every 2-3hours) to have them reset it when the stifling heat woke us. The window in the room also had no lock and could open fully (was this because of previous occupants of room 407 having the same issue?) . This is both a Health and Safety and security issue. I was eventually told the manager would discuss with us on our day of departure however they were not available so I was advised to email them !!! Also difficulties with the second reward room I had booked which took time to resolve. This was not a relaxing stay!!

The most poorly-run establishment I have ever witnessed. Money taken without reason, cards given to enter a stranger’s room, guests abandoned in hallways and so much more. Made Fawlty Towers look like The Ritz.

Wonderful weekend

We had such a lovely stay at the Selwyn last weekend. It’s perfectly placed for exploring Richmond, and the staff couldn’t do more to help. Super friendly, and welcoming, I was delighted to have gluten free croissants for breakfast! The shower was great and bed very comfortable. We were downstairs (room 102) and there was a bit of noise from walking above, but maybe take earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Still giving a 5/5 as we had such a lovely stay in the beautiful hotel.

There was an issue on arrival with the room requested not being available, however this was dealt with by the member of staff on duty at reception in a pleasant and courteous maner,with the offer of two alternative rooms and complimentary breakfast. Everything about this hotel is of a very high standard including the cleanliness, and room facilities. The staff throughout are pleasant and helpful,nothing is too much trouble. It was excellent customer service and we highly reccomend the Selywn.

The hotel has a very high standard of decor and service. Staff are very professional and attentive. Location couldnt be better as only a 10 minuite walk to the heart of Richmond. My room, 403 , is on the small side with a very small bathroom. You need to be we organised with your belongings. Being at the front of the property on a busy road it was well insulated and hardly heard the traffic, which was a plus. Pre booking a parking space is a must but it states "free parking" on advertising but its not ! £20 per day. Overall our stay was pleasurable and we would inquire for a larger room next time. We would definitely recommend this boutique hotel
