Fodor's Expert Review Church Street Hotel

29–33 Camberwell Church St., London, Greater London, SE5 8TR, England

Like rays of sunshine in gritty south London, the rooms at this distinctive Camberwell hotel are decorated in rich colors that evoke Mexico, a theme enhanced by authentic touches like elaborately painted crucifixes, tiles handmade in Guadalajara, and handcrafted iron bed frames. Breakfast is a tasty combination of organic breads, pastries, and smoothies, much of it sourced from nearby Borough Market. There's also an honor bar with a great selection of whiskies, tequilas, rums, and Spanish bottled beers.

PROS

  • individual and fun vibe
  • great breakfasts
  • closer to central London than it might appear

CONS

  • location very urban and busy
  • a mile from a Tube station (though bus connections and a train station are closer)
  • water pressure could be better
