NOX Richmond

NOX Richmond Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to NOX Richmond on Petersham Road, you immediately get the sense this isn’t your typical chain hotel. The building has character — it’s one of those converted Victorian properties that actually feels like it belongs in Richmond rather than fighting against the neighborhood’s charm. I mean, you’re literally steps from Richmond Green, and the hotel seems to understand that location is everything here. The entrance is understated but welcoming, and honestly, that’s exactly what you want when you’re looking for a solid three-star base to explore this part of London.

The Room Experience

The rooms here are what I’d call thoughtfully compact — they’ve clearly put effort into making the most of the space without cramming too much in. My room had this nice mix of modern touches and period details that didn’t feel forced or overly themed. The bed was genuinely comfortable (always a gamble with boutique places), and the bathroom was surprisingly well-appointed for this price point. You know what I appreciated? The little details like decent lighting for actually reading and enough outlets that you’re not playing musical chairs with your devices.

Location Magic

Here’s where NOX Richmond really shines — and I get why couples rate the location so highly. You’re basically in the sweet spot between Richmond’s village feel and easy access to central London. Richmond station is a pleasant five-minute walk, which means you can be in Waterloo in about 20 minutes when you want the full London experience. But honestly, you might find yourself spending more time locally than you planned. The Thames path is right there, Richmond Park is walkable, and the high street has that perfect mix of independent shops and familiar names.

Neighborhood Vibes

What I love about staying here is that you get to experience Richmond like locals do, not just as a day-trip destination. There’s a proper restaurant scene beyond the tourist spots — places tucked away that you’d never find unless you were actually staying in the area. The morning walk to grab coffee feels genuinely residential, and you’ll probably find yourself nodding hello to the same dog walkers each day. It’s that kind of place where you can pop back to the hotel mid-afternoon if you need a break, then head out for dinner without feeling like you’re commuting.

Why Guests Love It

The thing about NOX Richmond is that it delivers exactly what it promises without trying to be something it’s not. You’re getting a well-run, comfortable hotel in one of London’s most appealing neighborhoods, and the staff seems to genuinely understand what makes this location special. The fact that recent guests consistently rate the location so highly tells you everything — when you’re happy with where you’re staying, everything else just feels easier. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next Richmond visit before you’ve even checked out.

Locals suggest to book apartments in London around Marylebone for farmers markets, bookshops, and leafy mews.

  Clean facilities
  Friendly service

• Vicky from United Kingdom (7/10)

  The location was very good for getting out and about in Richmond. It's about a 5 minute walk to the river and a 15 minute walk to the train station. Plenty of shop bars and restaurants around.
  Good points – very comfy bed, powerful shower, small hidden kitchen facility and decent storage.
  Although the room was small and basic it's all you need for a base for Richmond and London.
