Stayed here in February to visit our daughter in Twickenham. The hotel is nicely placed overlooking gardens and the river Thames across the street and has plenty of convenient parking. Its a short walk to Strawberry Hill train station for the trip into London. Twickenham station has more trains and is only 15 minutes walk. The 33 bus to Richmond... More

We stayed here on a Saturday night to attend an event locally, we had a lovely room, on the river, and road side, but the windows on the second floor are small and it was very quiet. The bathroom was basic, but in need of updating with stained grouting and weak shower, their cleaning is OK in the middle of... More

A very nice hotel. A bit high on the price but this is only in comparison to what one might get in the US. Small room but clean and comfy. Free wifi helps. Service staff very friendly and helpful. We booked a 'double' since our son was planning to fly in from Chicago and join us for 4 nites of... More

We stayed here on a foggy day when flights in and out of Heathrow were severely disrupted. When the airport is operating normally, you're right under the flight path and earplugs will be essential for a good night's sleep! Nice comfortable and spacious room and reasonable breakfast - though I suspect the pale, limp bacon was microwaved. Much better to... More

I stayed here with work as we were filming just around the corner and I was really impressed. It bridged the gap between budget and luxury hotel – it had a premier inn feel, but in a boutique way. The rooms were well presented and clean (although I did find a spider in mine). And the free toiletries were great.... More

We booked this hotel as it had a restaurant on site. When we arrived they were catering for a very large group of cyclist, and were not able to serve us food. A bit disappointing as we were meeting my cousin and taking her to lunch. We said we wished we had know in advance, then we could have changed... More

Good, clean hotel with friendly staff in ideal location for transport, walks along the river and for us close to family. Bit pricey for what you get but it is London. Bevill More

The 'Pope' is fine for an overnight stay, rather on the expensive side for what it is but it is convenient if you are staying in Twickenham. The pub is typical, food is pub grub, breakfast is good and usually served with a smile! Check in and check out can be hit and miss, language problems, and the rooms are... More
