A great centrally located hotel in Croydon which is always very reliable, clean and friendly.
Pros:

The staff at the hotel were all excellent, very helpful and enthusiatic. The hotel was very clean, the room very comfortable as was the bed and the breakfast exceptional.
All in all another great stay at this very central hotel in Croydon.

Cons:

It is not the hotels fault but the approaching street is not very good, looks very dirty and felt unsafe, especially at night.
