Learn more about Richmond

Meander along the Thames Path where Georgian terraces frame views so stunning they're protected by an actual Act of Parliament. Richmond Park offers deer-spotting opportunities amid ancient oaks, while the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew houses plant collections that would make even non-gardeners swoon. Queen Elizabeth I spent her final days at Richmond Palace—now mostly vanished but worth seeking out the remaining gateway.

Rated the cleanliness 4/5 only because if you move the mattress in the pods to make your bed then you'll see that under the mattress needs some attention. Good selection of snacks and drinks (both alcoholic and soft drinks) in the vending machines in the common area on the ground floor. Coffee is good also from the machines. Plenty of seating to sit down and relax or do some work. WiFi is quite good also. Location is 10/10!"
