The hotel was easy to find and had good parking. The hotel is beautiful inside and out. Reception staff were a bit hard work. I stayed 2 nights which I booked separately. The first night was room 151 on the ground floor. Accessible with great facilities and a really nice modern bathroom, with a great power shower. I stayed in 32degree heat which the UK isn’t designed for! The window didn’t open but it had air con (clicks all night) and two fans and we were comfortable. The second night I stayed alone, so had a cosy single (it lived up to its name!) in room 320. 3rd floor, more traditional, pathetic shower over a bath that took a good 5 minutes for the water to warm up. No air con but a big sash window that opened wide… onto scaffolding. So a fan with a closed window felt safest and it was hot. Workmen outside my window at 8am made me glad I’d shut it though. Breakfast is delicious. Evening meals are limited choice on the club menu but also good. They do add a 13.5% service charge to your bill. The August offer of dinner, bed and breakfast for 2 is good value for money. The hotel is in easy walking distance of Richmond, with nice walks along the Thames and meadows on your doorstep. Overall I’d stay again but maybe not in a heatwave.

Lovely property (with a price tag that reflects it!) But very disappointed that they add a service charge without telling you on your room bill. We ordered no food and had no additional services (didnt even call reception!) So was confused what this was for. Turns out the hotel is trying to add a tip for a room stay to supplement wages. Just pay your staff properly and don't try and push it on to the customer to make that decision. Left a sour taste and wouldnt come back as aresult.

Richmond Heaven

The hotel was well situated - up a private road and on the river. The balcony view from the bar area was. beautiful. I was in a standard room, but it was a decent size with a bath - something I was relieved about. The staff were all very friendly and helped with storing my stuff after checkout before going to the airport. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Lovely but ?

The most amazingly delicious breakfast. Comfy bed, pillows, nice toiletries. Coffee / tea selection in the room rather a throwback for the price…a higher end selection plus fresh milk would have made a difference. It was a steaming hot day yet we had a fan thank goodness! No offer of transport to railway station… this would have been welcome considering the price point…

This was the most fantastic stay. The Petersham is a hidden gem. Easily my favorite hotel in greater London. The staff are professional, friendly and very accommodating. The hotel has a rich history and a fantastic location. I cannot speak more highly, book it and go, and enjoy understated luxury.

Just a shame they don’t take Amex. Simply means I can’t return as my company only use Amex for business trips and I visit Richmond quite often.
