Staff were very good, friendly, polite and helpful. Breakfast was very good and to a high standard. Rooms are quite basic, but to be fair they offer good value for the cost so we would stay again and recommend, particularly for a short stay.

We stayed at the the Richmond Hill as a base to go to Wimbledon, but it's worth staying just to explore the local area anyway. Bed was terrific, food was delicious, and we had a really nice time. Thanks to all.
