All show and not so much go.

No bar. Refused food as there was a function on and was told the kitchen will be too busy. As a paying guest i thought this was poor. Breakfast was strange. A 1.5 litre kettle to boil for your tea or coffee for everyone. Bottled water to fill the kettle. This would be a problem if everyone came down together. Hot dog sausages ??? Hash browns were nice. They say it is a complimentary breakfast. I think they should charge a little extra and improve the breakfast. Some bacon would be good and maybe some pastries. The saying is.."You only get what you pay for" This is true and TBF it was very cheap.

It's a nice, pleasant hotel. I am grateful to the hotel for extending my stay for a further few days. The customer service at reception was cold at times, but apart from that, it was decent.

Disappointing with variable customer service

When I arrived around 22:43, I was exhausted from a long journey from Cambridgeshire to Croydon. I hoped that I would get a friendly reception and get to my room swiftly, because I had to arrive by 8am for surgery early next morning, Wednesday 20 November 2024. That was the only reason why I had to book a hotel. Usually, I go the same day, but after 1 or 2pm. Therefore, I was shocked when David at reception asked me to email my ID! I showed him my Network railcard. But he said I had to email it, and gave me a Grand Sapphire Hotel and Banqueting business card with its email address. I have never had to do that before, in more than 30 national and international trips and hotels. I made that clear in my email. Bad start. The service was better, though variable, after that. When I returned from painful foot surgery with 2 crutches and exposed bandages, I still had to ask for help. It was not automatic. Then I got help up to my room from a young woman. My room had not been cleaned. Bed not done, bin not emptied. They had only put a new bottle of water on the table, and replaced the miniature bottle of shower gel. I was appalled and reported that to a man at reception. He apologised and said he would inform management. The gentleman at the breakfast buffet the next morning, Thursday 21 November, was helpful, and brought it to my table. Overall, I definitely won’t return to, nor recommend Sapphire & Banqueting. I prefer the good and excellent service in other hotels.

Great Place but for some the location may be bad

Well worth the price the room was a decent size clean & warm I actually had to open a window for a while as it was getting a bit too warm. If like us you are going to Ashcroft Theatre/ Fairfield Hall then it's a bit far out & if coming by train then it's £15 to/from East Croydon Station & the same to the hall so it works out a bit expensive for Taxi's. Located almost opposite the old London airport which had I had the time I would have wandered over to as it may have been interesting.
