Very convenient for Crystal Palace and getting into Central London, I would perhaps suggest making the parking for residents in with the room price and not as much as £10
Great stay nicely renovated rooms, would have liked a slightly bigger room plus a plug socket near to a mirror, perhaps a mirror over the dressing table

The front looks really nice - but it’s an illusion.
I had room 940. It wasn’t in the main building. I had to follow a rabbits’ warren of narrow corridors and over 60 narrow stairs (no lifts) to the very rear building (check it out on google maps satellite view) carrying my case. It was a nightmare and impossible for anyone with restricted mobility. The room was a 3-bed dormitory with no windows or fire escape route and the fire door on the corridor was propped open with a fire extinguisher.

It takes time to get hot water in the bath room. Approximately 5 min. There is no hair dryer, bottle opener and refrigerator.
About
Overview
Built in 1854 to coincide with the reopening of the Crystal Palace exhibition venue, Best Western London Queens Crystal Palace Hotel is a striking Victorian building in one of the most picturesque parts of south London. A stay here puts you in good company – French writer Emile Zola resided here for many months in the 1890s during his time in exile, while German emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II used the hotel as a base for his visits to Queen Victoria. Our updated rooms all come with contemporary décor, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and hairdryer. We also have an onsite car park, conferencing facilities, Italian restaurant and spacious ground floor lounge bar with satellite TV. Selhurst Park football ground is only a five-minute drive away, while Crystal Palace Park is just two minutes by car. If you’re looking to do a spot of sightseeing while you’re here, you’ll find the major attractions of central London around 8 miles from the hotel.
