Rooms are acceptable with cleanliness. Beds were made , Towels are always changed upon request (door handle sign), but the place does need a little refresh. The shower was very noisy, the bed was lop sided, the bar fridge door was hindered by the cabinet, so it left the bar fridge door open if you do not pay attention.

We had some initial issues during our stay at the Richmond Hotel, but the manager handled everything proactively and professionally, which we truly appreciated. Their prompt resolution and attention to our concerns made a huge difference and turned a stressful situation into a positive experience. It's clear that guest satisfaction is a priority here, and we were impressed by their professionalism. Thank you for taking care of us so well!

Such a stunning venue. I stopped in for a few beers on the balcony this afternoon. So disappointed with the 4 staff that had obviously clocked off and were also drinking on the balcony still wearing staff branded clothing. The language and swearing and wolf whistling and passersby was disgusting. I would have expected better from such an establishment ☹️

I had an amazing experience at the Richmond Hotel! The service last Thursday was exceptional, especially from the lovely girl behind the bar. She helped me pick some beautiful cocktails that really elevated my night. Her recommendations were spot on, and I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with her as she even suggested a few great spots to check out afterward. Truly top-notch service – can’t wait to visit again!

Came for lunch and drinks. Enjoyed the food and the drink. The service and was wonderful! But! If you order at the bar, there is a 10% charge (as in, the $20 pizza and pint deal is $22) whether you pay cash or card. If you order on your phone through the QR code, there is a credit card surcharge. If you have advertised prices, that is what a customer should pay.
