Adelaide is a great host - going the extra mile in making me and my kids feel welcome - we arrived extra early but were lucky that the guest before us had checked out; offering tips on how we could go out and about the first time in London - even helped a harried mother with her laundry!
Having a Tesco Express down the road and a few halal restaurants within walking distance is an added convenience which was much welcome as the cold weather makes small tummies go hungry faster.
Facilities offered are as published, the room we booked and the shared bathroom always spic and span - the sofa bed being the highlight for my youngest as it made every night time routine fun!
Wish I had taken a bit more time to explore Croydon though - belatedly saw the advertisement of the Winter Wonderland only the night before our flight back home.
