Reviews of Melrose House 4 stars

It was convenient to get about in the south east and meet family Also breakfast was very good

Relaxed and friendly family proprietors.Breakfast cooked to order. Very comfortable bed. Room airy and very clean.Being able to open the windows. Lovely sun trap garden with seating.Close to buses and train station for travel . Very quiet at night. Free on road parking. Great value.

Duvets were winter weight in hot weather. Shower although fine to use was very noisy - a warning would have been appreciated :-)

Very comfortable beds, in a very quiet location, a short 15 minute train ride from London Victoria. Perfect for our family, as I didn’t want to stay in the heart of London

Nothing at all!

Lovely quiet location. Easy access to Crystal Palace where we attended a concert and into London for sightseeing from Penge on the train. Plenty of free parking nearby the property and disabled parking available on the drive. We had minimal contact with the staff which suited us. Those we met were lovely. Nice garden and park near by to enjoy when the weathers good. Great value for money with the breakfast included. Will stay again if returning to the area :)

Nothing to dislike. Personally I’d have liked to see more selection of teas for the room - luckily bought some Earl grey just in case.

It was fine, but variety could be better.

Limited seats in breakfast room, worse air if the cook cooled.

Fantastic breakfast. Fantastic location - just a quick train ride from the center, yet the surrounding is peacefull and quiet.

Love the property and the people who run it. So friendly

The only criticism I have is that the kettles need to be descaled. Also it would be great to have the opportunity to borrow the iron and board.

This is the second time I am staying in Melrose house. Affordable, comfortable and convenient for families and friends. 20 min train journey from London Victoria to Penge east station and 5-10 min walk from the station. We had two rooms, neat and clean and comfortable. Breakfast was served which was okay (just the usual English breakfast). Few Shops and takeaways at 10 min walk. Overall a great option if you’re on a budget visiting London and want to stay outside the hustle bustle of the city.

30 min away from London city centre

Excellent breakfast. Allowed us to drop our bags off before check-in. Near multiple train stations, which was very handy.

The bed was very uncomfortable, and the sheets on one of the beds were dirty.

It was cute and cosy felt like a home from home. The staff there were friendly and exceptionally accommodating. The breakfast is made to order and delicious. We will very likely return in the future.

Nothing.

Everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating. Breakfast each morning was delicious and made to order.

There is not a lift which was not a huge deal for us but could be for some. Also, it was unusually hot during our visit and there is no air conditioning. However, with the window open and the fan it was bearable.

Very good breakfast

There was not have a TV satellite, that is the main problem for me

It’s the little details not necessarily with the amenities, but more so the people who own the property. It’s for a lovely quirky old charm.

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. It helped a lot the free parking street around. The breakfast was fresh (you need to ask what you want). The garden was beautiful…in the lovely furnished room we could feel that we are in UK.

The hand washing area was very small. It was difficult when we needed to wash our face. The shower could not turn any other way. The sockets(the electrical outlets) in our room didn’t work except one.

Location

Old bed and lumpy pillow. I was in the garden room in the back and would not stay there again. The main house is much nicer

Property is well maintained. Located in peaceful neighbourhood. Mark and Kelvin were so very friendly! And.. Kelvin really makes the best scrambled eggs in the whole wide world ❤️

Couldn’t find any negatives. Value for money definitely!

Lovely house in a quiet area. Easy to get a train into London.

Everything was perfect – the accommodation was very beautiful and clean, the breakfast was delicious. We felt very comfortable. It was a very pleasant experience – we would definitely recommend it and would love to come back :-)
