superb stay, great experience

genuine friendliness clean room private bathroom perfect location

the staff displayed genuine friendliness and helpfulness. i found the room to be very clean and well kept. it was a double room with a private bathroom (i did appreciate that). the location proved perfect for my needs, with access to nearby family.

the absence of readily available replenishment for milk and tea outside pub hours was slightly inconvenient.

charming stay near crystal palace

good landlord good location comfy room guitar chat

the landlord was a real delight. he loved guitars just like me. we had a good chat about guitars. our room was quite comfy and the location was close to crystal palace.

we had teas and coffees but i didn't see a kettle, a bit of a miss.

Location

the location is quite handy. a tesco express sits right across the street, so getting essentials is easy. i also saw a few coffee shops close by which is always nice for a quick morning coffee, i thought.

new management considerate service fresh refurbishment easy access

The new management at the inn showed such kindness. the recent refurbishment really shows. It brings a touch of freshness. i could access the room easily at any hour through the side door. This provided peace of mind.

i noticed one small thing, a long, dusty spider web hung from the high ceiling inside the room. it just needed a quick clean.
