Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were in a deplorable condition, with filth everywhere and security concerns. However, the location was convenient, close to restaurants and nightlife. The dining options were hit or miss, but the staff's attitude was a big letdown.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were neglected with peeling wallpaper, worn carpets, and dilapidated bathrooms; the overall decor was quite appalling. The noise from traffic, even with the hotel being empty, was bothersome. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring a clean room every day, but my interaction with one employee was extremely negative. The location was convenient for accessing Croydon's high street and nearby amenities, although the area showed signs of neglect. Dining options were limited, with only basic choices available, albeit satisfactory. The facilities need improvement, but the price seemed relatively fair considering the proximity to the railway station.
The hotel is conveniently located near Croydon's high street, making it easy to access restaurants and bars. However, the noise from the bathroom door and toilet flushing can be bothersome. The hotel staff, although friendly, showed some inconsistencies in their behavior.
