The Selwyn- Home from Home
We stayed 3 nights in this hotel and from start to finish the service was excellent. We had booked one of the smaller double bedrooms; it was too small for us and next time we come we will book a larger room

Cute Hotel in Richmond area of London
Great hotel in Richmond near the pub from Ted Lasso. They were cute rooms with air conditioning. Very close to the train station which made it easy to get where we needed to for our tours of London. I would recommend staying there and would return. Cute hotel with character with very pleasant staff.

Super cute boutique hotel within easy tube ride to Kew Gardens and car ride to Hampton Court Palace. Close walk down to the Thames and the Green. Lots of restaurants, pubs and shopping too. Wonderful breakfast that came with the room rate. Friendly staff as well!
