Best Hotels near Bronte Bell Chapel, Thornton Heath

Worth to book a stay on this accommodation. Very proximal to the train station and cheap for a night stay. 30-45 mins away from central london. The room arrangement is very authentic and cozy with complete amenities needed. I haven’t tried their in-house menus since I am on a budget but over-all I am satisfied. Might book another night soon if I will go back to London. Cheers!

On arrival there was a new girl on Reception (black girl) and she told me that the room I had reserved was room only and I knew I had booked a b&b rate. Although she was very pleasant she said she was new and needed to check with a more experienced receptionist. A white lady came into the reception area and was telling me that the new girl didn't know how to check was was included in the room rate and started showing her - how to check for this while I was there. This white lady (had a foreign accent) was quite abrupt to me and I thought to myself, maybe if you trained the new girl better, she would be able to check these details. The new girl was apologizing, I said to her its not your fault, you need to get trained better in your role. She was a beautiful young girl and very friendly and tried to help as much as she could. The kettle in my room was not working but was replaced quite quickly. I went to get some milk from the trolley and the Housekeeper (Spanish) screamed at me - your are not allowed to touch the trollies and if you need anything, please contact Reception, I said shall I leave it back then and she said - No its OK!. Had to advice Reception if one, needed their room cleaned. Breakfast was nice except the mushrooms they were too hard and difficult to eat. Staff tend to move trollies and talk to each other when guests are around and they use the guest lift as a service lift. They got in the way at times when I was trying to get out of the hotel, they apologized for getting in my way. Majority of staff were friendly, rooms need updating. On my last day, I was getting some tea at breakfast time in the dining area and when I returned a staff member (Small Indian lady) was clearing away my food and I had only went to get a cup of tea and had not finished my breakfast, I told her I was still having my breakfast. I was annoyed as my room card was still on the table but she never noticed this and was clearing it away. They spray and clean empty tables very close to you as you eat your breakfast which is frustrating as the smell of the cleaning liquid is quite strong, It was my first time staying at this hotel, however in the past I have had coffee/tea there but never stayed before. I would rate is as a 3 star Hotel and not a 4 star Hotel.

The room is very tidy, and the breakfast every day is also very rich. The front desk here is very enthusiastic and heart-warming. I just came here and I don't know the surrounding area. I can get patient and friendly answers when I ask some questions. It feels great to live here! If I come to London again next time, I will still choose to live here. The transportation here is also very convenient. You can get to the bus station in 2 minutes' walk, which is very convenient for travel. It was an unforgettable and very good stay experience.

Quiet in the middle of noisy, it is very convenient to go out on the commercial street. The breakfast is English-style, but the bread is delicious. If you are in a hurry, breakfast can be packed and it is very human. It is very convenient to get to the West Croydon train station. It takes 10 minutes to walk and 18 minutes to Victoria station. Recommended to go to Croydon to study, business people live!

Parking was easy, check-in swift and friendly and my room, as usual at this hotel, was clean, comfortable and very well presented. The server at dinner made sure I was happy with the table location, took my order, was engaged in her work and demonstrated great pride in her efforts to ensure customer satisfaction... the food and drink were both very enjoyable and filling too. The same can also be said for the breakfast team and content. Although it is of the buffet style the selection is wide, environment spotlessly clean and the team constantly busy ensuring everything is fresh and plentiful. Also, omlettes are cooked to order as a house speciality, yum! This hotel and it's staff are a gleaming example of how to make its patrons feel valued whilst not simpering or smothering guests. This is a hotel to strongly recommend. Thanks to all at HH, Croydon, see you soon I hope.

I 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.

I was a little bit dubious about booking this hotel because it was so cheap (£29 per night) and because of some of the bad reviews I had read. I booked the hotel for one night anyway as I just needed a bed for the night and was prepared to have a less than pleasant stay, however my stay was not bad at all. I was able to park my car a couple of streets away for free from 6pm up until 9am (but always check the road signs or ask a member of staff what the parking times are. On arrival the reception staff were friendly and helpful. I liked the fact that you couldn't use the elevator without your electronic room key as I am not complacent about security. My room was on the 7th floor and being so high up I couldn't hear the traffic but I could hear the tv in the room next door but it wasn't loud enough to prevent me from getting to sleep. Even though the room was smaller than I was used to, I was able to walk around the bed. And that was it... no table or chair but there was a fixing on the wall where you could hang your clothes and bag. The heater was excellent and mine was able to get up to 32°C/89°F as it was a cold night outside around -2°C/28°F but my room was warm in just a few minutes. The room was clean and so was the bed linen and had quite a nice graphic stenciled on the wall of the London skyline. I know I'm probably being fussy here but the tv which was excellent by the way was way too big for the room. I suppose some people would love this but it really did strain my eyes. Turning down the brightness helped a little but I ended up turning it off in the end. The bathroom was small but clean with a large liquid soap dispenser on the sink. I was able to get the temperature I wanted on the shower in about 30 seconds. The shower curtain didn't pull all the way round because it was incorrectly fitted and I just left it as it was. The bed was comfortable and my nights sleep was undisturbed. There was a kettle and microwave oven you could use downstairs so I just heated up a subway sandwich I had left over from the night before. In conclusion: Yes it is very basic but if you just need a bed for a night or two (probably not much longer) then in my experience you can't go far wrong here. I have seen some of the nightmare reviews but that was not my experience.

A beautiful surprise! This place is utterly stunning from when you walk i, I stayed here on a whim for a business trip really not expecting much. Walked into my room and it was like my own mini apartment! Super cosy bed and pillows I slept ever so well, All high spec (plugs with usbs all over top), super clean, really well Located too! Certainly a place I’ll be staying at in the future.

I don’t usually stay in Ibis hotels but this one is like no other ibis hotel I’ve stayed at. From the laid back informal reception area to the contemporary rooms this was a good overnight stay. I appreciated the welcome cookies. The room was spacious but clearly designed for short stays in regards to storage space. There’s USB ports by the bedside. The bathroom has a shower, no bath and good to see the body soap and shampoo in dispensers rather than individual plastic bottles. The water though was only luke warm. The Wi-Fi signal was excellent. Location is excellent in the centre of town and just a few minutes walk to the station. The restaurant menu was limited but adequate for most tastes. My only complaint was the pulsing noise of the bathroom extractor fan which is independent of the air conditioning in the room and not able to switch off.

We recently stayed here for the London Marathon 2022. We chose this hotel as the location was very close to the DLR station and very easy to get to Greenwich which was near the start. The hotel is hidden away off the main road but was very welcoming. Jeremy the Reservations manager looked after us and made our stay really lovely. We stayed for 3 nights and had a room on the 6th floor. The room was small but really cosy and quiet. Maybe could have done with a fridge in the room and some extra storage space but other than that an excellent stay. Breakfast was fabulous and on the morning of the Marathon extra food was put on and we could do down much earlier so we could digest our food before the run. Would stay again.
