The hotel is beautiful and in a great location close to shopping and dining. It is also conveniently located near public transportation, so getting to central London is quite easy. The hotel staff were also helpful and so kind. Finally, the beds were very comfortable as well. We would love to stay here again.

We have throughly enjoyed our stay at the Selwyn Hotel. From the first impression of seeing the hotel, we could see that the outside decoration had been done with thought & care. We entered the front door into a lovely lobby that was cool from the A/C and pleasing on the eye. Throughout the hotel the decoration had been lovingly carried out to a high spec, giving the hotel a unique feel. Our room had everything we required, was comfortable & was served daily. What really stands out though is Richard & his team as they were attentive, friendly & professional. We will be booking again!

Fortunate that this has been our second stay in the past 6 months. A beautiful hotel with lovely staff, the position is perfect for catching the train into central London or enjoying leafy Richmond and all it has to offer. Our room was immaculate with a good size bathroom and plenty of hot water! An amazing breakfast with plenty of options. We will back again soon!!

We stayed for 2 nights for Happy Place Festival (about 15 minute walk). It was very hot weather so it was hard for the hotel to stay cool. The reception area was cool but the rooms struggle to keep to a cool temperature. The guy on reception was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I think a biscuit with the tea and coffee in the rooms would of been a nice touch. It was a pleasant stay and we would stay again.

Outstanding Boutique Hotel in Richmond. Facilities were excellent, just very very nice. This is truly a boutique hotel... very nice public areas, fine rooms. Classic rooms are slightly tight, though certain layouts are much more workable/ comfortable than others. Bathrooms good sized. All Staff just outstanding....similar to a Peninsula, Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons, Park Lane Hilton or JW Marriott ... professional, courteous, highly competent, and looking to measurably be helpful .... they take the extra effort to ensure the guest feels welcome at a 'home away from home.' Highly recommend to family and friends, will return when next in Richmond.

The Selwyn was a wonderful hotel and our stay was very pleasant. The front desk staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel has a lift, so no stairs needed to carry your cases up. They had air conditioning which in the London heat was heaven. The hotel is immaculately clean inside and out. We drove to the hotel directly from the airport and after checking in, we enjoyed a nice Pimms from their bar outside on their patio. The hotel is 2 mins walking to the town with lots of shops, restaurants and the river. We drove to Kew Gardens which was 10 mins by car. Lovely hotel and we would definitely stay again! Breakfast was delicious!

Beautifully decorated hotel with charming helpful staff. Good location apart from road noise from the junction. The bed was comfortable but some details were lacking such as no non slip bath mat & the tea/ coffee/ milk not restocked on our arrival. Our room seemed to have alot of flies for some reason despite the window being closed.The buffet breakfast was adequate but a little uninspiring.
If we had stayed longer than one night we would have raised these issues with staff.
Overall, a nice hotel.

This is a charming hotel with a fun personality. The lobby is full of eye-catching artwork and quirky design touches, and the dining room is pleasant as well. Unfortunately, everything else seems to have been designed on a very small scale.
The hallways are narrow, the stairways even narrower, and the rooms are tiny—truly tiny. There is nowhere to sit, no good place to change clothes or apply makeup, and no full-length mirror. Americans accustomed to average-sized hotel rooms will be shocked. A solo traveler might manage fine, but couples will find things cramped, and families with luggage will have serious challenges.
Avoid the fourth floor if possible. The sloping roof means the hallways and rooms angle inward, creating a slightly claustrophobic feeling. I actually took photos to prove to friends back home that I wasn't imagining it—the walls really do lean in. Even our bed's headboard followed the angle.
This hotel would make a fantastic movie set with its cool lighting and artistic vibe, but when it comes to comfort and convenience, style won out over practicality. Cute? Absolutely. Comfortable? Not unless you're a Hobbit with no luggage.

Nicely styled hotel and very convenient location.
I stayed in a classic room which looked nice but had some impracticalities. The temperature can not be controlled from inside the room and was set too warm for me. The reception staff adjusted this for me, but it only seemed to stay at the requested temperature for a few hours before climbing up again. This meant I couldn’t sleep, so affected my stay.
The only full-length mirror faces the bed and leaves about 10cm in which to stand so is completely pointless and inaccessible.
The luggage stand was broken when I arrived, but replaced when I pointed it out. However most toiletries were near empty and had to be shaken out of the bottles. Not unpleasant but some easy fixes.

Everything was really great about this hotel, including the close proximity to town. The only downside was that our room was SUPER small. We reserved the basic room and did not even ask for a larger room because we were not ready to pay more for a larger room. We would certainly consider staying there again, but we would need to be prepared to book a larger room. Be sure to check the square footage of the room. But everything else was really amazing.

Beautiful period building, nicely decorated. Friendly and helpful staff. Given this is an old English building you have to expect small rooms but be aware the rooms truly are tiny. We were originally in what looks to be the smallest room in the hotel and you couldn’t really walk down both sides of the bed, there was one hangar standing in for the wardrobe. We managed to upgrade to a larger room which was beautifully appointed but very snug.

The hotel is great in location (few steps from Richmond high Street and station). It's cosy and with welcoming atmosphere. The room size is great and it was modern styled and air conditioned. There was only one concern about house keeping, that it was not standardised. It depends on who cleans your room to have enough toilet paper or water bottles..etc. It's a miner issue that I'm sure the hotel administration can overcome.

Nespresso & kettle in room and good choice of tea/coffee. Only 2 very small negatives - the sink tap in our room was very stiff to operate and my wife's breakfast (salmon and eggs on toast) was late in arriving and yet looked rushed (toast undercooked and salmon just piled in a corner of the plate).
