Hotels near St Raphael's Church, Kingston upon Thames

The windows could be cleaned from time to time. The same goes for the hallway, where pigeons nest on the ledge and the windows are dirty. The hotel has a dingy character, which the entrance area also contributes to. The bathroom should have a brush for the toilet. The towels should be checked for residue before being placed; some of them looked very dirty, with indefinable stains. If a kettle and packaged coffee powder (old) are provided, perhaps a bottle of mineral water should also be provided for the price. The breakfast was nothing, the price was excessive. I suspect the scrambled eggs were made of powder, the sausages were old (fried a long time ago), hard. Bacon too, with cold white fat residue. Everything was cold anyway. Otherwise there was no cheese or slices of sausage. On the second day it was probably the leftover sausages and bacon etc. from the day before. The only thing that was OK was the coffee machine.

服務很貼心，每日打掃很及時，會根據客人的習慣贈送汽泡水、牛奶等飲品。餐廳的啤酒、羊排都不錯，比很多英國餐館強，入住客人用餐還有12%優惠。

The location and sanitation are very good, that is, the furniture is a bit less, and there is no place to put things. In addition, the hotel displayed an address on the webpage. At the front desk, it was said that it was not their order. It was an order for another address. It was about 100 meters across a street, pushing four suitcases.... Imagine how painful it is. Later, I stayed for two nights, and the same path was booked. This time it was right. I needed to push the big bag to the first hotel. After the negotiation, I didn’t change the hotel. I want to say, please Ctrip and the agent confirm the address, do not let the user get the false information, thank you

I used to work for Shell, and so visited what was then known as The Lensbury Club many times. We booked The Lensbury Resort in a fit of nostalgia. Not much has changed in the 30 years or so since I last visited. The rooms are comfortable and our Deluxe Double was quite spacious, with a large sofa, plenty of wardrobe space and a modern bathroom that included a nice bath as well as a large shower cubicle. On the downside, the main dining area is cavernous and little has been done to make it feel more inviting. The food is quite average and the chef has made some odd choices: for dinner, the Thai cauliflower & chickpea curry is more Indian than Thai and had little flavour. The lamp rump was tasty. The ”hot chocolate with whipped cream” came with no whipped cream and when we asked, we were told there was no whipped cream. Most bizarrely, from the lunch menu the BLT was seasoned with a mountain of thyme in the mayonnaise - a very odd combination and not one that works at all well. It's also annoying to be reminded more than once that ”service charge is not included.” The pool is OK but there were a lot of young children at the weekend so not particularly enjoyable for swimming lengths when you have to avoid kids bombing into the pool. The piece de resistance though was being woken up at about 4am when some new arrivals tried to get into our room. They tried more than once even though we answered the door and told them it was our room. They showed us their key and it had indeed been noted with the same room number as we were in. After that we were also visited by security who clearly thought we were lying about it being our room. We mentioned it at check-out and were told to complain in writing.

English breakfast can be accepted, clean, extra bed needs to communicate with the hotel

I have stayed here many times and hotel still delivers good value and accommodation. Ideally situated for my business requirements. Sometimes struggle to park (depending on arrival times) but good view across the river. Room was a good size with a fabulous mini bar! Everything you need. WiFi connection is free and fast, comfy bed and good power shower. I actually ate in the evening but found the menu limited however, my choice of food was well presented and was fine. Breakfast was cooked fresh (which I prefer) again, limited selection of pastries, no greek yogurt only a few flavoured yogurts in sealed plastic cups (supermarket type). Overall, this hotel is fine and a good option if visiting Twickenham or Teddington.

We arrived and parking was good and nearby. As a disabled blue badge holder, there was a good amount of disabled bays and it was free when I presented my blue badge at reception. Check in was quick and efficient. Only one of the two lifts was working, but the hotel didn’t seem too busy so this wasn’t a problem. We had a room for 2 adults and a child, so a double bed and a bunk bed. The room was small, but we only needed it to sleep and so it wasn’t a problem. The cleanliness of the room wasn’t good. The floor was so filthy, that we just threw our socks away because of how black they were. The mattress on the single bunk bed was absolutely disgusting. I have attached photos. The sheet was just a piece of material folded in half, and wasn’t tucked in or anything which is how we noticed the dirty mattress. It was late when we noticed it, so I sent photos and an email to reception, who immediately offered us breakfast free of charge. We declined the breakfast as we already had reservations elsewhere, and we saw that breakfast was very poor with little on offer. The manager then replied and refunded our stay and cleaned the room. The management/reception team were lovely and sorted things swiftly. We would stay again and have stayed in many Ibis hotels, but I will be checking the cleanliness of them closely in future.

Stayed here with family while visiting Chessington theme park. The hotel is located in nice quite part with beautiful views. The staff were brilliant and very helpful. Staff recognised my membership status and explained all benefits. The room had few stains but overall was comfortable. Note the place has no restaurant or anything at walking distance but few local places offer delivery. Breakfast was unfortunately a bit letdown for us 2 days in a row as the hash browns were cold and croissants not warm! Being vegetarian that were the options I went for as didn’t have much choice. Thankfully good coffee machine so had lovely cappuccino. I will however stay again more for the great staff and the location of the hotel.

Hotel was exceptionally and staff were generally friendly. Only thing they forgot was the kettle I requested for a replacement for the one in the room as it had a dirty filter, though the replacement never came it was still a good and economical stay, convenient location with lots of amenities around as it is a 10-15 bus ride from Heathrow airport .
