Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The receptionist's kind gesture of helping me with the luggage for myself and my 6-year-old was lovely. The room had a comfortable bed and decent pillows, but there were some cleaning issues and bulbs not working, indicating a lack of proper management checking.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were fantastic, very spacious with lovely views of the Thames, and the staff was very accommodating to our early start. However, the lighting in the room was a bit inadequate when the curtains were closed on the ground floor.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a sweet balcony for river views, but some areas like the skirting boards and carpets could use more attention. Staff is accommodating for early starts, and the location is superb near transport links and the river. Dining is tasty and prompt, though with limited choices. A satisfactory stay at fair value.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The bed was incredibly comfy with crisp white linen, and the room had everything I needed from coffee-making facilities to a trouser-press. The only downside was a minor issue with dining options one morning, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was a bit cold, but the balcony overlooking the park was a nice touch. The housekeeping seemed a bit lacking with mugs and glasses not being replaced promptly, but overall, it was comfortable. The service was excellent, and the location was fantastic, right by the river and a short walk from Twickenham center. The dining experience was good, although the quality was slightly lower than expected. The facilities were decent, and I enjoyed my time here.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a balcony overlooking the River, but the dining experience can be disappointing. The location is excellent, close to bars and restaurants, and facilities are good for the price.
