The room is mid tier, but so is the price. So I have to write a purely objective review based on these criteria. I slept 3 nights with my cousin and I have to tell you several important points:The room reflects the price. The mattress is not perfect, the shower soap was brake fluid with a bleach scent, but the room was clean!As for the location, it is excellent. You are next to East Croydon station (2 minutes walk), which allows you to get to London in 15 minutes.The service is good, always there when needed.If you want more comfort, pay more and go to the competition across the street, it's as simple as that.So I put 4 stars because I literally expected all of that. Thanks !

The main door looks like the entrance to a YMCA doss-house and is poorly signed, so quite difficult to find. Don’t be put off; the staff are very friendly and eager to help. The rooms appear fresh and clean. I slept like a log - considering the busy location it was surprisingly quiet. Breakfast isn't up to much for £9.99. Mattress protectors would be a good idea for the sake of best hygiene.Make sure you bring flip-flops! I was a bit shocked when one of the receptionists let slip that the rooms are only cleaned once every six days; I left with a terrible case of athlete's foot.For London, it's cheap - I guess you get what you pay for.

The location was the only positive thing about this place. The room was bare as in nothing at all in the room. Not even a phone to call the front desk. Bedding was stained with makeup.When issue were brought to management. The manager was very sarcastic and advised this was a budget hotel unlike other travel lodges.The night staff was very friendly and very helpful anytime.
