I have just seen that Hobart Hall is closing in January. I am so sad as we had decided that it is a place that we should like to stay in quite regularly. I see there are a lot of poor reviews from past guests.What is their problem? Thank goodness for a hotel with character and architectural integrity.Yes,it is faded.I... More

I read the reviews and was expecting faulty towers, but found the staff kind and friendly, the breakfast fine and the location interesting. The room was fairly basic, but, all in all, I enjoyed the say and found it good value as a last minute purchase.

Website photo`s are very misleading do not believe that this is what Hobart Hall is like, only 1 luxury bedroom at the top of the stairs.We checked in to reception and were given 2 keys then was pointed to a side door no assistance with luggage was offered. We then made our way up 30 odd narrow winding stairs to... More

We came to see the Lady Gaga Concert at Twickenham. Firstly the web site says close to Twickenham, it took us 55 mins to walk it. Could not get a taxi as Richmond was gridlocked with traffic. The hotel is shabby, was not very clean, smelt a little, what staff there were, were very nice. Reception seems a little strange,... More

I almost made a joke to that effect to my wife, but decided not to. Once inside, five minutes was enough to convince us to walk out and refuse to stay. The beds... More

Everything about the structure, stairways, doors, windows, decoration, furnishings, confirm that it is tired and in need of a great deal of renovation / attention. Constant Road noise. Serve continental breakfast unless you order cooked breakfast night before, costings don't match information supplied in room. Only one waitress, very pleasant but doing cleaning in between service.

I loved staying at this hotel. Great location, magnificent gardens, views across the river, a grand and stately old building, a warm welcome with discreetly excellent service. What I like most is the faded, almost colonial, feel to it all - a bit like staying in the E&O in Penang or the Galle Fort in Sri Lanka (in the good... More

Stayed here for one night having seen pictures on their website. Thankfully it was not longer. The only good things about this hotel are the location and the free parking, although don't park here if you want to use the car during the stay or have to get up early. The rooms are very run down and tired. The decor... More

3rd visit to the Hobart ....old quirky but full of character ....good helpful staff , great position for exploring Richmond and further afield, once your parked everything is in easy walking distance
