Domestic travellers can reach Croydon by train from London Victoria (15 minutes) or by car via the M25 (22km). International visitors can fly into Gatwick Airport, then take a direct train to Croydon (20 minutes).
The most convenient airport for both domestic and international travellers to reach Croydon is Gatwick Airport, due to its proximity (approximately 27 km) and excellent transport links to the town.
Croydon, UK, offers diverse public transport options. Tramlink services connect to Wimbledon and Beckenham. Frequent buses serve local areas, while National Rail links to London and beyond. Alternatively, cycling is supported by dedicated lanes. Walking is feasible for short distances. For longer journeys, consider driving or hiring a taxi.
East Croydon is a popular area to stay due to its excellent transport links, including direct trains to London. It's also home to the Boxpark, a hub of food and entertainment, making it a vibrant and convenient location for visitors.
Shopping Destination with Convenient Station
Midway between central London and Gatwick Airport, Croydon is a shopping haven. Hundreds of stores are found under the glass-roofed Whitgift Centre and the even more modern Centrale complex.
This thriving retail industry is one factor contributing to the town being London’s 3rd most important business area, so naturally it has its fair share of skyscrapers. Also tall is the red-brick Croydon Clocktower, housing the town museum, and attached to the town hall overlooking Queen’s Gardens.
Opposite is Fairfield Halls, a large arts venue behind which run train lines connecting East Croydon Station to London Victoria in one direction, and Gatwick and Brighton in the other. Modern trams also link the town to other suburbs. Croydon used to have its own airport (once more important than Heathrow) and its former terminal is a museum open one Sunday a month.
The town minster houses tombs of some archbishops of Canterbury and their summer residence was Croydon Palace, now a school. Much more famous is the BRIT School which has nurtured musical artists including Adele, Jessie J and Katie Melua.
The Croydon accommodation on Booking.com includes 4-star hotels with pools, guest houses with parking and cheap apartments. In the Borough of Croydon are Addington, home of an opulent palace, and neighbouring Shirley with its Grade II-listed windmill.

I grew up near Croydon and it has changed a great deal, It has good transport and access to shops. It is fairly built up in some areas but has a good community spirit and some older buildings do remain.
Coulsdon is in a more leafy part of the borough and I enjoyed staying in the Coulsdon Manor Hotel.

Everything was amazing but only reason I would not give a 5 star is because the curtains were not black out as advised and their were street lights right opposite window which was super annoying inside door did not lock either so put a chair infront for peace of mind. Staff were attentive, happy, and smiling.

The only small problem I noticed was the taps on the sink.
The only small problem I noticed was the taps on the sink. They were not far enough forward in the bowl, so difficult to get your hands, toothbrush etc under. Also the water therefore run onto the surface instead into the bowl.

I only come here because I have relatives in the city otherwise I would not be seen dead here - mind you, with all the knife stabbings that go on in Croydon, that´s always a possibility. A two word description of Croydon would end in hole!
The staff is friendly, committed and ready to help you. The general vibe of the restaurant is great, and the food (we only took breakfast and lunch) is tasty and a great value for the money paid.
The location of the hotel is great for someone who is comfortable with London public transport. The area has a Costa Coffee nearby, and a supermarket around 10mins walk. It is also 15mins away by bus from East Croydon, a well-linked train station to London (15-20mins).
Location was really great and quiet. It was close to the bus that got us to a Tube station and in central London in about 40 minutes. When we arrived we called the owner/host and she graciously and generously came to the train station and picked us up and brought us to the hotel to check in. We felt so taken care of. The value of this hotel is amazing and it feels like you're coming home each night to your own flat. For sure will stay here again!
Extremely clean hotel , had a really nice pleasant smell as you entered main foyer
Room, very very clean. Bed was very comfortable, so much so I checked mattress on where I can buy one. Believe me they are not cheap mattresses .
Bathroom, very clean, wasnt tired looking , no signs or smell of mould or mouldy grouting
Breakfast was a good price and plenty of choice
Evening meal we had , lovely front of house man. Food was great
Yet again another fantastic stay in the grand sapphire the receptionists the room the location the free breakfast you can’t fault it’s one of the cheapest and definitely the best hotel around. Free upgrade to a lovely room many thanks to all reception staff for looking after me again deneesha Nadia and Monica x
The room and the bed was ok. But to think that a hotel of this standard has no restaurant nor bar is to say the least, it's ridiculous. When I even complained and made light of it, one of the Front staff said I could complain for as long as I like.
The location was good with plenty of food options around the area
The person at reception was friendly and helpful while a little overworked it seemed?
Price wise the place was cheaper than most because obviously the hotel needed updating!
excellent for a commuter. The East Croydon train station is a short walk away so one can be at Gatwick airport or in central London in no time.
staff were clearly well motivated and accommodating for Guests.
Breakfast was also generous!
Love the property. Hotel needs to be finished before it opens. Looks like it’s crumbling. Has lots it’s crispness. I can appreciate what the vision is but there’s a way to go. Liked the bunkbeds and art work happening.
The bedroom shutters couldn't be closed and there was two large security lights shining on the side of the hotel room where i was staying.
I was not impressed and did not have a good nights sleep.
The apartment is just next the West Croydon station and in the walking distance of East Croydon which is convenient for getting to London Victoria. There is a lot of empty space in the apartment.
good location near South Croydon station with easy access to central London, queit, clean rooms, very supportive, friendly and considerate staff make this hotel home away from home.
Very nice hotel. Good location and breakfast. Staff were very nice and helpful, especially Garima, who was very kind to us during our stay. Thank you to everyone working there.
