Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The location was perfect for my work visit Staff were very friendly and responsive. Very understanding and willing to ofer their support
The Wifi didnt really connect so had to use my phone as hotspot. But it was very minor concern so didn't really bother me.
Location, ease of access, comfortable, good TV. Nice restaurant and bar area.
Had to pay for parking which unfortunately isn't redeemable as part of a stay. Food was nice but a little expensive for what it was.
I cant think of anything i didnt like i

Lovely hotel
easy check in and great staff, good location
great location, lovely staff and easy check in process
The location was good for our needs.
There was only 1 bath towel, the other was too small. Parking is expensive given the location and unreasonable particularly as restaurant guests get free few hours but hotel guests get none. It should be free for guests.
Value for money
customer service
I booked a standard double room and I was given a double room. When I went to complain at the reception I was told by the manager on duty that the standard and double room they’re the same . They just look different because I booked with booking .com . I called my husband to come at the reception and the manager decided to give us a standard room and it was dirty and the bed mattress was worn out and very soft. We couldn’t wait to check out the next day . This hotel use to be my favourite hotel but a lot has changed . I won’t book it again in the future.
Nothing
It was clean and the food was good
Standing at the check-in desk and the person in front of me gets told they were getting a free upgrade and I'm told no upgrade for me. The room given(64) was the smallest, noisiest, smellyist I have ever had the misfortune to stay in. Not even a Toilet brush or a wardrobe!.Thankfully it was just one night.
Clean
Too noisy generators on all.night no sleep
Great
The location is good as there are free parking around the surrounding areas
The air conditioning wasn’t working, I was given a portable one which was very noisy.
Fabulous art deco building, presented to a high standard, plus great breakfast
The room was quite warm, with just a small fan
room overall impresion staff being friendly
safe on the floor

Thank you again to the staff for keeping my road bike safely and for making my stay pleasant.
Some renovation may be needed to ventilate rooms and make them more soundproofed
not busy

Clean, comfortable, good beds, quiet. Lovely entrance, bar area and reception. Lovely building.
I previously requested four extra pillows but they weren’t in the room and as we arrived late in the evening I thought it was too late to chase up.
The location and the breakfast was fantastic
Inside the bath and the toilet was dirty. The mattress was not comfortable, and the shower curtains was really bad
Floors were creaky both in the lobby and in room
Staff welcoming. I was upgraded for free. Clean. Well positioned for what I was doing.
Breakfast. Expensive if you can’t eat what was available. Especially if you can only have cereal or toast.
Worth the value of money.
Very dirty not cleaned had to change rooms twice
Location
Staying at this hotel was an absolute joy, especially considering what a fantastic value for money it turned out to be. Our room was wonderfully spacious and the air conditioning was a total dream. The reception staff were exceptionally warm, welcoming, and remarkably efficient at getting things done the moment we asked.
NA
The staff were very friendly, warm and understanding. The hotel is also very well maintained considering how old it is
The window sill needed to be cleaned out. That was my only ick
the breakfast was ok
the rooms were super small. no AC. The solution was to use a fan which was not effective.
Excellent accommodation, food was good and reasonably priced. staff were very attentive.
Everything was excellent
Stayed there before so the hotel is k own to us. Warm welcome & Check-in staff were pleasant.
Ordered food, took ages to arrive as the chef forgot to cook it. Made us rush as we were going out. Returned to hotel at 22.10 to find the bar had closed at 22.00 so weren’t able to have a nightcap. Room felt dated. Road noise was a bit of a problem as was the plumbing noises so every time a toilet was flushed somewhere in the hotel, it sounded like it was in our room. Duvet was far too small for the cover so one side of the bed had the duvet case but no duvet.
On site staff are absolutely great, rooms comfortable. Staff can’t do enough for you.
The back end team are completely different and aren’t very helpful. If you need anything speak directly to the hotel and they will help you.
Good sized Bed & room with Bathtub...
•There was only one lift... •No complimentary Water in the room... •Hotel is far away from shops...
Helpful staff. Good breakfast’s
Needed aircon.
Reception staff very helpful, and waived parking fee as Hotel booking site said parking included
bed a little soft!
Good breakfast
There was no air conditioning & there was a lot of noise from the main road making it a very uncomfortable nights stay.
Food is not bad but could do with a regular deep clean. However, bed and bathroom were clean and overall, I like this hotel. Staff are very accommodating and helpful. The dinner was excellent but a little pricey,
Nothing really, just needs a little bit of a deep clean in the carpets and corners.
Staff were helpful.
We were in a room, very small, like an oven with no air, fan was rubbish, and curtains hanging off the rail.
The staff were great
It was clean and well kept
There was a good hearty full English breakfast provided. Well done! It was good to be back in our home town & both my husband & I had a good nights sleep. Thank you.
Maybe fresh coffee would have been cool.
Nice sized room with very effective AC. Perfect for an overnight stay. However, you will probably need a car as it's very accessible from the M25, but less so by public transport. Also check out the Chinese hypermarket just a short distance up the road.
Very welcoming and friendly
Nothing
Perfect location for my work visit to Croydon. Onsite parking is a must for me - enough spaces and was no hassle
Location, price, Was comfortable Enough for what we needed
Beds were hard and pillows were too soft - proper 1st world issue.
Service and room were great.
Perfect for me. G4S meeting room booked in your hotel. Breakfast very good.

Clean room, good shower facilities
Parking restriction
Was very hot, fan in room.. changed room for an assisted shower room. It was perfect
Didn’t take cash at the bar
Breakfast was good
Rooms don’t have air conditioning so we’re very hot due to the heatwave and on south side of the building. At least hotel had provided fans which did help a bit. Hotel is a bit tired in places; stair carpets worn and bed headboard was torn and repaired with duct tape.
The rooms were very clean and tidy
Everything was good tbh
Welcoming arrival, pleasant reception area, booked in quickly. Stayed two nights in a cool comfortable room. Mini fridge, iron, hairdryer, large screen TV. Good value for money.
The property was clean and very accommodating
That I had to pay for parking
The location was perfect
It was well situated for the event we were attending! Hotel was excellent, staff all very helpful, room was excellent, very clean, good aircon, bed very comfortable, good sized bathroom and nice towels! Breakfast with an excellent selection, allergies were checked.
Nothing!
The building looks amazing from outside and the interior decor is amazing aswel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Got free upgrade to executive room.
The bathrooms were quite outdated and bathroom door did have a lock in it so could see the inside of the bathroom.
Het personeel is altijd zeer behulpzaam en vriendelijk
Er is geen airco op de kamers, de ventilator helpt wel maar niet veel.
This is not 4* in fact I would say it’s 3* at a push. Our room had no air con which in 30+’ was definitely needed but all we had was a medium fan , there was no fridge, no safe, no info about the hotel, and the room generally very poor. We were told that Floor 3 and Floor 5 had a fridge and air con but floor 3 had none of this !!! Reception area in some places the furniture was very worn and the area not big enough to seat many people. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice but no allergy labelling. As we were in a group it was apparent that several people complained trying to get a room change but this wasn’t to be simply as the hotel said they were fully booked so we had to endure the mega hot room. The staff were helpful and friendly and did try to help if we had any problems so that’s good Would I recommend this hotel not until big changes have been made
pokoj čistý, nábytek novější, tv na pokoji, varná konvice, čaj a káva
budova stará, vše slyšet, jak z chodby, tak venkovní vzduchotechnika
It was ok apart from a few broken things
The room upgrade wasn’t even great to be honest
Good
Absolutely brilliant service
Can't think of anything
AIrcon Has very load
Far from city an heahtrow
Great location and staff tried really hard. The air-conditioning was broken but they provided extra fans and tried there best
Broken air con

Nothing
Everything. The TV didn’t work in our room and when we reported it to reception I was told they would come around at 10am in the morning to fix it when we was having to check out at 11. The room was too hot and we was given fans to cool the room this caused us to leave the property early and didn’t get the full extent of our stay
I booked an executive room, but there was no airconditioning in the room. When I complaint the staff brought in a portable one.
What I didn’t like was that the staff initially said there is nothing they could do. When I kept on complaining, they eventually brought in the portable air conditioning, it took them 2 days to act And there was a stain in the bath, when I told them about it they said, it’s their best room
a good overall stay
no air con
It was available! As 2 other properties from booking.com cancelled last minute
Overpriced
Staff cleanliness food 🤩
Distance from London
One of my favourite hotels in Croydon
Bit spenny tbf lads

Nose and old equipment
The staff were brilliant. Very kind, helpful and polite. I have stayed here a number of times and there's a reason I always choose to book here.
Nothing. Everything was great.
Het personeel was zeer behulpzaam, hielpen mij door te zeggen welke bus ik moest nemen om bij het station van Croydon te geraken.

Staff were helpful
Room was a bit tired and too hot
I can’t say I liked anything.
This list would be rather long. Suffice to say the hotel and area are pretty soul destroying.
The worst experience we have ever had. There was no air conditioning in the room, and we were not informed about this before our stay. The room was unbearably hot, like a sauna, and the two fans we were provided with made absolutely no difference. The heat became too much for us to tolerate, and we were forced to leave in the middle of the night. A very disappointing experience.
The kindness of staff, especially Lakshman, who was working at the front desk on the day of our stay. Our room didn’t have air conditioning and it wasn’t pleasant,although a small fan was provided, it was still hot. He was was trying to upgrade our room but couldn’t because they were fully booked. To compensate, he gave us complimentary parking and breakfast which we didn’t ask but gladly offered. The staff’s kindness to all their guests is what I’ve noticed and appreciated.
The polite and helpful staff make this hotel a huge success. 2 day stay booked same day and on check-in (during a heatwave) reception staff informed us that the room had no Air Conditioning. They explained they had supplied fans and also added free breakfasts for us. We had a fault with our bathroom sink tap (no cold water) which we reported. A staff member attended immediately and had the handyman there within 15 mins. Unfortunately they were unable to resolve this issue before we left but jugs of drinking water were supplied for our kettle which we kept in the room fridge. Although the first night was warm, the fans did the trick and upon return the following night from a concert, the air conditioning was working and we returned to a beautifully cooled room. The room & bathroom was beautifully clean and comfortable. We loved the aerial picture & history of the building, aviation pictures & artifacts across al floors. Delightful gardens that staff let us access when conference room not in use. Highly recommend and would definitely return again, if visiting the area again.

Location
There was no air conditioning so room was boiling hot
The hotel is well situated. There is Costa Coffee and McDonalds close by, and a bus stop. Family room was nice, spacious and well equipped.
Standard room was very small and without air conditioning, which was very uncomfortable.
Absolutely awful. The hotel has new management. We had a single room with a double bed. A shower that only pumped out scalding hot chemical smelling water. With a weird system for cold water. A towel rail radiator that was on constantly although it was 30deg . A television that had no multichannel and radio access. Only channel 4. When we asked for a room change the answer was an oleagenous "sorry all the rooms are full, no other rooms available" and we had to pay for breakfast. AVOID.
Lovely breakfast and good value seeing as it is unlimited. Fan was amazing given we were staying during hottest day of the year, didnt feel the heat at all. Massive TV and lots of mirrors for makeup and also full length. Very clean hotel, spotless really. Loved the armchair which was comfy and a desk too which was massive.
Fridge could have been a little colder. Plugs had on/off switches which is unusual in a hotel so had to remember to switch device on before charging.
No A/C was the main factor
Breakfast was good
The staff were excellent
No air con wasn't working in a heatwave
The check in staff were excellent. The other staff were also courteous. The rooms are good, bed is great. Breakfast was just okay. Bar staff were equally very responsive.
My strong recommendation is for the breakfast to be varied a little bit otherwise staying for a long time, you have same breakfast everyday, maybe they could change the breakfast by either adding up something or changing some of the food stuff on different days
Convenient location for what we needed
Incredibly hot in the room - a tiny fan which didn’t work well at all. No air conditioning and very dated features in general. Breakfast wasn’t great.
A great hotel, great location too. Overall a pleasant stay and will book again for sure.
No aircon and being an extremely hot few days during my stay, staying in my room was unbearable. Fridge did not work so did not keep the water cool/cold either. Desk top fan did nothing to cool the room down and was too noisy to leave on during the night. Breakfast is expensive and not great value for money, especially as it is left sitting, so eggs are hard, bacon hard, etc but overall a good selection. Staff were great but not tentive enough as we had to ask for service several times. That said there were alot of School Proms and other things happening, so the hotel was very, very busy.
