Find hotels in Greater London South East

I needed a last minute booking on a Saturday night for a friend's party locally and found a single room at the Bromley Court on Trip Advisor. It was perfect. Plenty of safe parking. Check in seamless. Room was spotless, especially the bathroom which looked like it had been recently refurbed - very nice! The decor in the room was a little dated, but comfortable. No complaints!

We took a double room, everything went smooth with the reservation and the check-in, the room was nice and tidy. There was a TV with many channels and a kettle with a tea kit. The room was in an old wooden building, which is very lovely, yet the walls are thin and there's a bar downstairs, which can be noisy. There are shops, a pharmacy and a post office just across the street, and London is very easily accessible, 40 minutes tops by train. All in all, it is an excellent option and the best offer that you're gonna get for separate rooms for a few days.

On arrival was greeted by MI5 type security, rang the buzzer to gain entry to the property, a lady came to the door opening it slightly, she said yes and I said I have a reservation booked, she then opened the door fully and asked me and my husband to come in, at the reception I gave my name, she then asked me for a photo id, which luckily I had on me, I did ask if someone didn't have a photo id would that mean you wouldn't book them in, and she replied yes, she proceeded to tell me I have to pay the balance of the bill which I told her according to the booking the full amount was paid through the website I had used and showed her the booking confirmation, she told me they only charge for one night during booking and the balance is paid on arrival, I called the website I had booked through and they confirmed no payment was taken from my card, I informed the owner of this and said the website should have issued a message saying hotel takes 1st night payment, balance is paid once at hotel, this would inform the customer of the situation preventing any misunderstandings once at hotel, anyway I paid the balance, my husband and I were shown our room which was lovely medium size room, had a small terrace garden which was a bonus, 2 single beds, nice bathroom, sofa, cooker, oven, kitchen utensils, toaster, fridge, microwave, washing machine, tv, the only thing the room was missing was a kettle and a frying pan, the beds were comfy to sleep on but became uncomfortable when my husband and I wanted to cuddle up in the middle but could feel where both beds joined up, hotel was quiet and clean, all rooms including reception were on one floor, checkout does need improving, the husband was at the reception, he didn’t speak much, told him I was checking out, he asked about my stay and I replied it was ok, handed him the room card, he gave me their business card and that was it. It would have been nice if the owner said good bye, safe journey and please call again.
