Room was dated and scratches on walls, dirty carpet, high tub to take a shower, exhaust fan did not work in bathroom, and every door slammed so loud woke us up all the time. Food and drinks were good and location.

Room was well appointed, clean but very small. Bed was 4ft in width and had one side flush with the wall. It is not really suitable for a couple.

I actually enjoyed Croydon, met some nice people at the pub. I also enjoyed eating chicken at one of the many chicken places and watching people coming back from the club

5/5 - Excellent

Paddy

I love Croydon very much. Don't get me wrong. It is a quiet neighbourbood. It is so easy to get here from London Gatwick airport by train. Boxpark is my favourite place to hang out!

2/5 - Disappointing

MT

Croydon is extremely dirty, food and rubbish thrown all over the place, people come out of shops and just throw anything on the ground.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Just get out there and explore enjoy boxpark (food), the open market (fresh fruits & vegetables etc), the underground railway, the double-decker buses. Too much to see all at once but enough to make your trip memorable just don't stay inside get out

4/5 - Good
