We went on Sunday 12th May for my grandsons birthday, what we saw of the hotel looked fabulous, and the view towards the Thames was stunning (even though it was pouring down) . We had champagne afternoon tea, the table settings were immaculate, as was the linen, and service, there it ended for me personally, the sandwiches were fresh, but... More

We stayed for 2 nights in May to celebrate a wedding anniversary. On arrival, we were shown to our room (110 I think) which was unfortunately situated right above the ventilation outlets from the hotel kitchens, and so was boiling hot and stank of fried food/meat. We complained and were moved two floors up to a similar room which we... More

I had a party of friends, most of whom had not met before, staying for a variety of days across a Friday to Monday long weekend, attending birthday celebrations held elsewhere on the Sunday. The organisation by the hotel and keeping everyone informed about others in the party was excellent and greatly helped everyone getting to know each other and... More

We stayed here for a night in January for a wedding at the nearby Bingham Hotel. The staff were helpful and friendly. The room was immaculate and very warm (on what was a cold snowy day). The views of both the hotel from the outside, and the scene across the Thames from inside the hotel were quite something due to... More

stayed for 2 nights with my wife whilst attending a wedding nearby. The good parts are the location, peaceful setting by the river thames with lovely views. The exterior of the hotel looks great as do the communal areas inside the hotel. The staff during the day were all very professional and the breakfast was high quality. 2 aspects of... More

I stayed at Petersham Hotel in February with my boyfriend just for 1 night. The location is absolutely amazing as the hotel is placed on a hill overlooking the river. We drove there and left our car in their private car park which was very handy. There was a scaffolding at the front of the hotel so we couldn't see... More

The Petersham Hotel occupies prime position in one of the UK's most desirable locations. Its Gothic exterior is castle-like in structure, while the interior features a a magnificent central staircase, which serves to emphasise the overall quality of the hotel. I spent two nights at the Petersham recently, from April 2nd to 4th. I found my room excellent, and decoratively... More

If this is the best hotel in Richmond God help the rest of them. We booked The Petersham Hotel for 1 night only. We were given room no. 406 (4th floor) but it was very poor, the curtains do not cover the windows so light both sides. Asked for a duvet which did not arrive so cancelled this after ½... More
