Hotel needs upgrading
There is a general feeling among guests who have stayed here that the hotel would greatly benefit from a major refurbishment. Many parts of the hotel are looking tired and old fashioned and some fixtures and fittings have seen better days. However, the hotel's new owners say they are planning to update the rooms and public spaces soon.
negative:
Wi-Fi doesn't always work
Although guests were pleased that Wi-Fi is provided free of charge at Hotel Richmond Opéra, some were disappointed with a lack of reliability which meant that Wi-Fi was not available all the time. There were also issues with the password supplied by the hotel which sometimes was not accepted when guests tried to log in.
negative:
Air conditioning erratic
A few guests found the in-room air conditioning unsatisfactory. It seems that the rooms can get quite hot on occasion and it was difficult to adjust the air conditioner's settings to make the temperature more comfortable.
