Traditional hotel in quaint location overlooking the Heath.
Pros:

Traditional old style hotel, with classic decor and standard furniture. The bathroom and shower had ample hot water with good pressure. Lovely buffet breakfast with reasonable choice. Fantastic "village green" location directly opposite the Heath. Iconic panoramic views from the Shard to Canary Wharf.

Cons:

A lot of wobbly bannisters on narrow staircases. The lift from reception does not go directly to bedrooms, there are still a few steps, and I saw a few guests struggling with large cases. I had difficulty getting comfortable water temp in the shower, as markings not obvious on the shower control taps. The filter coffee in breakfast room wasn't very nice. Traffic noise enough to disturb sleep at times.

Good traditional hotel in Blackheath
Pros:

Good location facing the common and very close to Blackheath village.

Very spacious and airy breakfast room/dining room. There's a garden but we didn't use it.

Cons:

Elevator only goes to second floor. Third floor rooms are accessed by (some) windy staircases.

Third floor rooms are much smaller.

Absolute Empfehlung
Pros:

Tolle Lage, ein schöner Garten zum abends sitzen, Sehr nah zum Bahnhof mit guter Zugverbindung, man kann zu Fuß nach Greenwich laufen, sehr freundliches Personal, gutes Frühstück. Die Frühstückszeiten waren super,es ging schon um 6:45 uhr (wochentags) bzw 7:00 uhr (bank holiday) los,sodass man früh nach London los konnte. Blackheath ist ein gemütlicher Stadtteil mit vielen Essensmöglichkeiten.

Cons:

Die Parkplätze könnten etwas zahlreicher sein. Aber der Empfang war sejr freundlich und wir haben hinter dem Hotel noch einen Platz bekommen. Zu groß sollte das Auto allerdings nicht sein. Das Zimmer ist für 4 Personen etwas eng.
