Lovely stay, the room was clean and comfortable and the staff were super helpful
Lovely boutique hotel in a terrific location in Richmond. Wonderful team at the front, small rooms but nice and quiet and very comfy bed. I’m happy to regularly stay there!
Really enjoyed our stay at the Selwyn. Really nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Great location as well. Walking distance for everything in Richmond. Would definitely stay there again.
The room was comfortable and well appointed. Beds were very comfortable! The staff was very friendly, especially Kelly at reception and Ala in the breakfast lounge. Great breakfast. This hotel is very stylish and beautifully decorated. Really enjoy staying here everytime we are in Richmond.

Great experience overall, from the evening welcome though to departure. Great room with luxury amenities, great WiFi and a breakfast that was just superb. I was there on business but would also return for leisure.
Lovely room, courteous and friendly staff, superb breakfast, hard to think of any way not could be improved upon.

The hotel was beautiful, from the grand feeling when you entered, through to the elegant furnishings. It felt luxurious. The bed was comfortable with great pillows (a problem most hotels tend to have for me). The staff were friendly and it was very clean. I will stay again and have already started recommending it.
Very kind and accommodating staff. Rooms were expectedly small but clean and well appointed. The location was great for walking to the train and sites. Would stay here again.
