This property was very clean. Location was very close to the train station and international airport terminal. Guest should know that there is no one on duty before 10am. We needed to call a taxi and no one to help as we were from the states and did not have service. This was the only down fall but overall it was excellent

Room had obviously been remodeled recently and it was great! Also, you can come and go from the accomodation without having to go through the bistro/ bar. Very convenient location directly across from train station and close to variety of food outlets!

I thought a pub hotel would be loud & also the train station, but it was great, quiet, comfortable and convenient. I’d definitely recommend The General Gordon.

Good room and nice new bathroom. Although it’s above a pub, on a Friday night it was still very quiet in the room. Friendly staff

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. There was a balcony with a view and it was easy walking distance from a lot of facilities including a major train station. Staff were helpful, and there is a restaurant on site. Parking is limited, but there are options available that don't mean moving your car too often. It is very close to the airport, which is convenient, but noisy. We slept through it beautifully though.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location, very convenient. Quiet inside, which is good because it is right under the flight zone. Outside it is almost deafening but inside I didn't even notice it. Food at the bistro downstairs is yummy. Lost of vegan options. No parking on site, but was able to find some in the nearby area. Not great during the day though as there is tight restrictions, best to leave the car home and catch the speedy train to Sydenham instead.

There is no one at check-in counter, no bell or no phone to catch the staff. We just needed to wait until someone notice. If you don’t have enough staff, you should put something which I can reach to the staff. Room was clean and nice tidy. Good point to having a choice of pillows. But there is no door for the bathroom…..
