As a woman traveling alone, I had a wonderful experience at The General Gordon. The location couldn't have been better, with Sydenham station just across the road. It made exploring the surrounding streets and accessing public transport incredibly convenient. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable, providing a peaceful sanctuary after a long day of sightseeing. The staff were responsive and attentive, even providing extra milk for my morning coffee. I felt safe and well taken care of during my stay.

The lack of room service or breakfast offering, but the delicious food in the bistro downstairs made up for it.

The food at the bistro was delicious and the room was sparkling clean. the hotel's location was perfect, being right across the station and close to great cafes. Another plus was that the staff were friendly and hospitable.

The room service wasn't satisfactory. There was no breakfast offered and the windows couldn't be opened for fresh air.

We loved staying at this hotel! The location was absolutely perfect, right next to the train station and within walking distance to many great places. The room was modern and beautiful, and we especially enjoyed the delicious food from the bistro downstairs, including the amazing vegan options. The staff were also very responsive and attentive, quickly addressing any issues we had and even providing more milk for our morning coffee. The hotel also had great amenities like free Wi-Fi and a bar/lounge area, which added to our overall comfort and enjoyment.

We highly recommend this place to our friends.

During my recent stay at The General Gordon, I was impressed by the cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms. The value for money was excellent, and I particularly enjoyed the convenience of having a pub on the property that served delicious food. Despite being located near a train station, I was pleasantly surprised that there was no noise disturbance from the trains or airplanes flying overhead. Additionally, the satellite TV provided great entertainment options. I had a wonderful experience and would recommend this hotel.
