location very good, less than 200 meters from the promenade, rooms are near, though a little small...the staff are not happy and had a sad face...even the breakfast they offer things only if specifically asked (eg dosa, poori, etc)..,overall a good stay but service could have been better

i had a very comfortable stay at the richmond hotel as a female solo traveler. the rooms were neat and well-maintained, which added to the overall positive experience. the family rooms are impressively spacious, though the lack of windows might be a concern for those who prefer natural light. while the food could use some improvement, the room service was prompt and efficient. i appreciated the availability of hot water, which added to the convenience. the staff was exceptionally polite and accommodating, making the stay even more pleasant. the hotel’s location is its best feature—it’s close to all the important tourist spots and charming cafes, making it an ideal choice for exploring the area. overall, it’s a great place to stay with some minor areas for improvement. would recommend it for solo travelers and families alike!

I will review with the pros first followed by the not-so-great! 1. Location - The location of the hotel is absolutely amazing. With everything in White Town within walking distance. The Rock Beach is as promised a 5 minute walk away. 2. Staff - The staff at the hotel were really friendly and helpful. We were travelling with a three year old and an eight month old; so it couldn’t have been more difficult than this! 3. Room - The room was spacious with adequate sleep space. The bathroom was clean. Though a bit of deep cleaning will improve the quality of the rooms. (I found two soft drink bottles from previous occupants below the table and the corners in the bathrooms need deep cleaning.) 4. Food - The in-room dining ordered was good. And the breakfast buffet on Sunday was excellent. The breakfast buffet on Monday was several notches below that on Sunday. (Maybe because of lesser number of occupants) 5. Parking - The major issue was with the parking as there’s no parking available with the hotel. There are parking places around the hotel but the availability of parking close to the hotel is upon your luck. The staff were helpful in assisting with finding parking slots. 6. Overall - In totality, it was a very pleasant stay.
