Guesthouse Shandon Hotel (London, United Kingdom)

For guests who are early risers, or have a need to check-out early, the hotel offers an early breakfast option to ensure guests are able to get their morning meal in.

The beds are surprisingly spacious for the size of the cosy rooms. Although the rooms are on the small side, perfect for budget accommodation, the beds are big enough to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep.

With the Overground just around the corner, guests will find Shandon House Hotel to be perfectly located for those who are searching for a base for exploring the surrounding areas.

Although advertised as free parking, it comes with a hitch. Guests will have to rely on luck, or early arrivals to ensure they acquire a parking bay, as there is limited space.

The breakfast option is very basic, and guests expecting a vast array of breakfast choices will be disappointed. The continental breakfast serves up the standard options of toast, cereal, yoghurt, and juices. Although basic, the amount is plentiful.

Unfortunately, as is true throughout Richmond, Shandon House Hotel is located on the plane flight path, which means as the planes come in to land at Heathrow Airport, they fly overhead, and as Heathrow is extremely busy, a plane goes by every 30 seconds.
