"Beautiful hotel although it has low ceilings. If you are over 6 foot 3, the shower in our room would have been too low. Breakfast was great with lots of choices! Would definitely recommend staying here!"

Lovely property - hit and miss with the staff
"Property was fabulous - really clean, new, lovely. The initial receptionist was very brusque and bordering on rude (to everyone I witnessed coming in). This was an exception as the receptionist in the morning was really lovely and pleasant."

I was born and worked in Croydon long time since I have been back and so sad to see it looking so run down and dirty. Did not feel safe either. Such a shame it could be a lovely town but definitely needs some TLC!

4/5 - Good

To be fair I didn't see much of Croydon. My stay was a break to unwind. I went as far as the local complex and TGI's. However, from past experience I would say Croydon is a good place to shop, eat and go to the cinema.
