    Great value for the money, friendly staff, absolutely amazing breakfast, comfortable bed. It is not in the city centre, however, the location is very close to two train stations and one Overground station, approximately 10-15 mins walk. And then...

Company information

I love London and the history of the city, going to the theatre and reading about the city.

Property information

Melrose House is friendly and cosy with a feeling of the 19th century but with modern facilities. It is run by our family and our motto is " there are no strangers here only friends we have not met."

Neighbourhood information

We are in a quiet part of London, very pretty with plenty of trees in our surrounding roads. We have several parks the most famous being the Crystal Palace Park where a huge palace of glass was built in 1981 with a dinosaur park surrounding it in the lakes and gardens. Sadly the palace was destroyed by fire but the park is still lovely.
