“Great Boutique Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013

The Richardson is a nice, modern hotel with a high quality gym and indoor pool, a nice cafe for breakfast and an up market restaurant with an interesting menu and good wine list.

The rooms are spacious and well equipped. We stayed in a deluxe room with an en suite bathroom, separate lounge and kitchenette and chairs out on the balcony - lots of room for a couple. The bathroom was compact, with the shower in the bath rather than separate, but that was a minor point an didn't detract from our stay.

As many others have said, the thing that sets this hotel apart is the service - all of the staff were wonderful and attentive. They offer helpful advice and suggestions, are always happy to assist and make you feel like you're a regular who they've known for ages, despite it being your first night there. We stayed for 3 nights and would definitely recommend it as an alternative to the larger hotels.

While the hotel is more than walking distance from the city centre, this isn't a problem as there is a regular, free bus service running around the centre of the city which stops around the corner from the hotel.

“Welcome to Australia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Arrived at the Richardson hotel after a long flight from the the UK, I stay in lots of Hotels in the UK
Not one of them comes any near these high standards, the room was beautiful , quiet and clean,
The staff were friendly and helpful , and a special mention to Andrew the General Manager who did everything possible ( including booking restaurants, and even booked our next hotel in Melbourne !! ) nobody could stay here and not enjoy!!!

Room Tip: We travelled with friends, and both rooms were great ( 203/204)

“Expensive and a little overrated...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013 via mobile

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights for our anniversary and I have to say that although the hotel is lovely I do not think it was worth the price. The a la carte breakfast was delicious. The Opus restaurant try's hard but the food missed the mark by miles although the husbands venison Wellington was amazing! The location was awesome. Think this is the place to stay if you really need privacy....we just needed to escape the kids.

“Expectations Met”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

Thank you to the previous reviewers of this hotel. Those that said it was exceptional with a strong focus on customer service were right. The quality of the staff and the rooms made this a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I loved everything, especially the breakfast we enjoyed in the cafe; a wonderful end to a perfect short break. Thank you
