The Mitre Hampton Court

Hotel situated right on the Thames which is lovely. Upon booking you are given free tickets for the palace and at £34 pound per adult is a real incentive to stay here. Parking is shocking however a very jovial warden keeps it all very civil and juggles the spots for the hotel guests. Our room was very clean very spacious with a marginal view of the Thames. Tea tray is ok but no biscuits which at the price we paid for the stay wouldn’t have hurt them to add a few !!! Breakfast gives again a lovely view of the Thames. Not impressed with the breakfast but plenty to choose from on the continental but the English was sadly lacking. Bacon undercooked and fatty. A nice stay with lovely staff.

My wife and I loved our Sunday night stay at the Mitre Hotel. What did we like? Wonderful situation on the river. Very friendly and helpful staff. Complimentary and generous glass of wine on arrival. Large, comfortable and quiet room - we were upgraded to The Royal Mews (many thanks for that) - with complimentary coffee, biscuits etc. Excellent breakfast buffet taken in the lovely round room with wonderful views of the Thames. So close to Hampton Court Settle in Sunday is a really great deal. Would we stay at The Mitre again? Like a shot!

We stayed at The Mitre for two nights mid-week while visiting Hampton Court Palace. The free Hampton Court tickets and the proximity to the Palace were a big draw for us, and we were delighted with our stay. Being able to get back and put our feet up so quickly after a long day exploring the Palace was a huge plus. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was amazing (with lovely river view) and our room was well-appointed. The bed was comfortable, the fridge in our room was really useful, and we could not hear any noise from other guests while in our room. My only reason for scoring the hotel a 4 rather than a 5 is the car park, which is quite cramped and requires cars to be double-parked. The staff kept my car key in case they needed to move my car and I had to sign a waiver to say I accepted liability for any accidents, which left me a little uneasy. I should add though that nothing did happen.

Firstly, the setting is beautiful. The food is good but massively overpriced for the size and quality. The biggest issue is the service. The senior member of staff that appeared to hold court on Saturday 6th September on the terrace appears to prioritise large parties spending more. If you are there with one friend for a simple lunch you are made to feel like second class citizens and unwelcome. A very overrated experience.

What a great experience! I had some time to kill in Hampton Court, so decided to have a nice lunch. What I had was brilliant. Firstly, the setting in the circular restaurant, overlooking the Thames is fabulous. The staff, under the excellent Manager were faultless, friendly and helpful. The food, divine. i had the best Gazpacho I have ever eaten out. All beautifully served. Lovely background music too!
