One of the main advantages of this hotel is its location, just a 10-minute walk from Staines station, allowing easy access to London Waterloo in 40 minutes. The facility is well-maintained, and the room is spacious. The only downside is the bathtub, which could be a bit more practical.

This beautifully decorated hotel has been an absolute delight – after spending nearly a week here, I decided to extend my stay for another week. It’s genuinely serene and incredibly quiet, despite being located on a main road, thanks to the exceptional soundproofing of the rooms. My accommodation is also remarkably spacious, featuring a sitting area with a sofa and chair, as well as a generous built-in desk. I absolutely love the tub/shower (an actual cast iron tub that’s very deep!), and there’s even a towel warmer, along with a nicely sized wardrobe/storage area that includes tea-making facilities and a small fridge. The staff kindly allowed me to check in early, which I truly appreciated, and Ana at the front desk has been particularly helpful in facilitating that for me initially and on several occasions – assisting this bewildered American with some queries about British currency, as well as guiding me on how to get into London by train. She also promptly addressed a couple of minor issues with my room upon my arrival, all handled swiftly and with a warm smile. Other staff members have also been wonderful, including Magda, who exudes a genuine spirit of welcome, which truly makes a difference when travelling (especially since this is my first visit to England). Everything has gone smoothly during my stay overall, which is clearly why I chose to remain here a bit longer. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the lavish breakfast and had lunch on the deck during a sunny spell... the pizza was delicious, and what a peaceful spot to take in the river views. I’ve strolled to a nearby pub and shops, and I’ve also walked from the train station; there’s plenty to explore within a 10-15 minute walk. I also enjoy sitting in the common areas with my laptop – this charming hotel is both lovely and tranquil, and hats off to their dedicated staff!
