What guests say
8.4 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 988 guest reviews
The Richardson Hotel earns strong praise for its spectacular historic architecture, spacious rooms, and the immersive experience of staying in a beautifully restored landmark — most guests find it genuinely unique and memorable. However, recurring frustrations around underwhelming and disorganised food and beverage service, the absence of room refrigerators, and occasional housekeeping lapses suggest the guest experience doesn't always match the premium pricing. Travellers who prioritise heritage atmosphere over polished hotel amenities will likely love it; those expecting full-service luxury may leave wanting more.
