"Comfortable, safe, and well-located – a great stay in Croydon
We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Croydon during a recent trip to London, and it turned out to be a really solid choice. The location is quite convenient, a 10-minute walk from Croydon station and the area itself felt lively, with lots of food options and shops around. We were two female travellers and felt quite safe exploring the neighbourhood. The hotel itself was well-maintained. Our room was comfortable and quiet, with everything we needed for a short stay. The included breakfast was a nice bonus, there were several good options to choose from, and the staff in the dining area were particularly friendly and attentive, especially during the busy morning rush.
Overall, it was a well-rounded experience: clean rooms, a decent breakfast, kind staff, and a location that made getting around pretty easy. Would definitely consider staying here again."
"I have stayed here previously and I stay here because of the convenient location and I have usually been able to get the rooms for a good price. I clean the rooms myself to be able to feel comfortable. I have included a picture of the filthy wipes from cleaning surfaces.
This trip was horrendous due to noise and vibrations- the last time I complained about vibrations and the manager attended offering extra pillows to help this. This time there was what appeared to be people talking to me in the bathroom which made me feel like I was being watched and there was vibrations in the bed waking me up and preventing me from sleeping. I contacted the police and I want to warn solo female stayers about this and I am asking for people to come forwards if they have experienced similar."
"The hotel looked very nice and stated in the art. the food was amazing and was cooked perfectly but a little overpriced, but we did have free breakfast included within the booking as complimentary, breakfast was awesome & i would recommend the scrambled eggs were to die for and the waffle you can get was cooked so soft and fluffy, 100% try the waffle!, staff was extremely friendly and very helpful with mostly all and some even went above & beyond to serve, can't fault any of the staff as all were friendly & respectful 😊, in all would go again and would highly recommend your stay here."
"Always enjoy staying here. Check in and check out was easy.
Room was clean, tea and coffee supplied. Would be fantastic if rooms had a fridge though.
Breakfast was good, good selection of teas and vegan options available.
Staff are friendly and helpful.
Only downside would be that the channels on the cable don't really work. Some do but most don't, when travelling with children and none of the children's channels work, it can be a bit of a nuisance. Aside from that I always enjoy staying here. Good location, lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance."
"Friendly receptionist and very professional. Was shocked to have been asked to pay £50 holding deposit for any damages, yet but this has not yet been refund. Is this a new thing for Hilton??"
"Here’s a sample review you can use or adapt based on your experience at Grand Sapphire Hotel, London:
---
⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ (3 out of 5 stars)
I recently stayed at the Grand Sapphire Hotel in Croydon. The hotel has a modern look and is conveniently located with decent transport links to central London. Check-in was smooth, and the staff at the front desk were polite and helpful throughout my stay.
The room was clean and had all the basic amenities — comfortable bed, clean bathroom, and fast Wi-Fi. However, the breakfast box was very minimal and may not be satisfying for everyone, especially those expecting a hot breakfast.
Overall, it’s a decent hotel for a short stay, especially if you’re attending an event nearby."
"The hotel room is moderately spaced, the hotel is halfway up the mountain, quiet and good environment. The hotel's bedding is very comfortable and especially sleep-friendly. The hotel is far from the bus station and the MRT station, and the excessive luggage should be particularly cautious."

AAnthony C S WUShadian has convenient transportation. There are many restaurants and many Arabic delicacies in 10 minutes' walk. London Bridge is 15 minutes away by train. The hotel's breakfast buffet is delicious and has many varieties. The staff in Shadian are friendly.
GGuest UserThere were three of us in the room, which was very comfortable, and the extra bed was only 10 pounds. There are many choices for dinner, including steak, which tastes very good! Service is nice. 18 holes of golf + club rental = 31 pounds. It will definitely get dark at 4:30. It is recommended to use colored balls from 4 to 4:30, otherwise you will not be able to find the ball.
GGuest UserI absolutely enjoyed my stay at this aparthotel. I was very comfortable in the room. This aparthotel is located very close to the east Croydon Station about 10-15 minutes walk maximum. The young man at the from desk was very helpful. I needed to check in before the check in time and they made the allowance for me to do that.
Note well: the walls are very thin, thus you can hear everything happening above, below and next to you. I was thoroughly entertained/ with the music, gossip and moans that escaped the other rooms. Although there are rules that governs the stay at the aparthotel, we need to bear in mind that at nights people do what they want and break the rules. If reported the hotel can deal with it. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this aparthotel especially if you are on a budget or like me who wanted to enjoy my vacation without spending all my money in hotels. This is and was a great option. I will most definitely stay here again.
Ssk odeMy choice of hotel when in London, close to loads of restaurants. There is a gym 2 minutes away , and kiddies play gym for the grandchildren when they come around. Parking is free for 72 hours for a hotel stay. Would have been perfect if there was a fridge in the room. Other than that comfortable stay.
GGuest UserVery satisfied, the hotel is very, very good and very clean. However, the first Thai food is at least difficult to drink in Dongyin Gong soup. The shrimp is very fishy, like brushing pot water.
TTravel I LikeIf you want something cheap and cheerful with walking distance to train station this might be a relevant option. However please note that if you book under 6 days they will not clean the room or change bedsheets unless you pay a daily charge of £15.00. I also would like to highlight the rooms are ridiculously small with no shelves or storage space to put your items. The showers has this annoying loop system where it will will be hot for a minute then cold.
GGuest UserThe staff were very friendly and helpful. There are bus stops and a train station within a few minutes walk and has free parking for a few cars. There's kitchen facilities available for use and free WiFi.
The place is very dated and in need of decoration. The baths are stained with a shower head coming of the taps that has no pressure.
For the price charged I wasn't expecting a 5 star hotel but this was value for money.
