Recently booked this hotel for an overnight stay in the Richmond area after reading reviews on TripAdvisor. Yes it is true, the hotel is absolutely lovely, friendly, helpful and well placed within the town. It appears that the rooms have recently undergone a refit to a high standard. I was lucky to find that the hotel was full at the... More

If you're like us, you'll be wondering whether you should book now or move on. The decision is simple...BOOK NOW. I've been putting off this review as I have so many positive things to say about our visit here and how wonderful it was, and I simply haven't had the time to give justice to this outstandingly fabulous hotel until...

We stayed at the Frenchgate for 2 nights in April. It was booked as a surprise for me by my Husband for our 1st Wedding anniversary and I must say he made an excellent choice! The whole experience from arriving to leaving was fabulous! David carried our luggage to our room where we found a lovely 'supersize' bed and fantastic... More

From the booking to going home, the service and standards here are amazing! I called these guys because it looked 'nice' on the web and booked a table for dinner. Even when I had a possible delay in making dinner they were fantastically accommodating in moving my reservation. So to my arrival, my girlfriend was treated like a princess, we... More

I am reviewing the Frenchgate Hotel seperately from the ajoining Frenchgate Restaurant as the latter seems to market itself as a seperate entity. When we arrived at the Hotel our greeting from Holly was very friendly and we were very impressed by the trouble which David took to fix us up with secure parking behind the hotel and help us...

Enjoyed our stay here. We requested a quiet room and were given Room 8 (Tokyo) on the 2nd floor, and it was indeed very quiet. Bed is huge, probably the biggest I've ever slept in and really comfortable for a good night's sleep. The room itself was quite small, with only a small alcove for hanging clothes. I don't think...

I find it difficult to be critical of this establishment, given the fantastic and very friendly levels of service. The staff are nothing short of brilliant and make on feel at home from the minute you enter. The hotel is what one might call boutique in that it has few rooms but aspires to levels of much larger establishments. That... More

An excellent stay at the Frenchgate. Impressed by staff, room, food, toilets(!). Slightly pricey bar but overall it was great to stay in a real quality establishment that wanted to cater for all its customer needs and more.

Stayed for one night at the Frenchgate, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Location - good, not far from the middle of town. Room - I thought a bit small, but the hotel is marketed as a townhouse hotel, so that's fair. The fittings and decor in the room were a very pleasing mixture of old and new, but the new was... More

The staff were all very friendly and we were upgraded to the beautifully appointed Napoli Suite. Had two excellent evening meals, although the menu, was rather similar each evening. Car parking is rather limited but free parking is available in the street.
