Ruxley rooms is a clean, comfortable, friendly place to stay. Excellent value for money and a good location with much of the south east of London/ Kent  easily reachable, both A2/A20 close by.
I would recommend this place to anyone visiting in or around the Sidcup/Bexley/ Eltham areas.

Thanks to all for a lovely stay.

Day out

We went to Ruxley Manor for the first time. It was excellent. Everything you wanted was there. Restaurant to eat. Food hall to shop. A bit of Christmas Shopping if you fancy as well. Service was generally fantastic. It was expensive but I’m not complaining 

Excellent 

The place was lovely and so were the people. the owner was very sweet and always asked how we were when we saw her. the only issue we had was with difficulty shutting bathroom doors, which only needed a little more strength and the fact the soap dispenser didn’t work well. there were heaters in the room. the beds were comfortable. overall great experience

Wonderful Place!

The ice skating at ruxley was great, good service with the skates and quiet for mid Nov after school.
The only problem was the skate marshal on the ice, who was showing off, and going far too fast for a small rink.  I had two children with me, and he nearly knocked over the ten year old, I did say this to him and he just shrugged it off.  I think he was more concerned with looking good, but when you have children just learning to skate, it's quite frightening for them to have someone going that fast and keep banging into the sides at top speed.

Quiet midweek skating, over zealous skate marshal

The main complaints i have with this place are 

1. No hot water for showers. I was here for 9 nights and the water was lukewarm at best, not good enough for long stays really.

2. The walls were cardboard thin which on my stay had extremely noisy guests, screaming kids at midnigh/slamming doors etc. I know this isn’t quite the hotels fault but there should be a noise curfew.

Plus points were secure gate parking and good wifi, plus for around the area £40 a night i found was fair.

Disappointing, cold showers and loud guests

I stayed at Ruxleys rooms it was very clean and cheap stay.
In the room desk had crack and also plug so scared to use had no choice no there plugs in room.  There was no TV remote to watch TV.
I can't believe  in this day and age there property of this state.
There was no heating in rooms or bathroom,
 I wasn't able to sleep due to cold room even though I put jacket and sock on.

 The bed not of good quality when I went to sleep I slumped down.
The items in room were of poor quality.

Very bad stay

An interesting establishment. Arrived at the gates, rang the bell, they told us they were just figuring out how to open them. 
Not sure there’s a reason for the valet parking as the car park is 10 paces from the door but it’s always nice to have the option I guess. 
The accommodation it’s self was an interesting cross between faulty towers and an 80’s horror film. 
Shower didn’t work, it was “hot, hot” but the bath was in order - didn’t try it out! 
We met the cleaner/housekeeping and owner (same person but we met them all!) 
The twin room had eclectic furnishings and could do with a new lick of paint. If you ever wondered where the 1920’s swag pelmets and curtains went, look no further. There was (we were told) an in house restaurant which we could order food from using just eat. Having seen the dining room, we stuck to our packet of biscuits! 
There was a very Caribbean feel to the place including the strong smell of cannabis.  
We tried to make good our escape the next morning, but the gates only opened on one side.. so we had to wake the staff/owners to let us out. 

We will laugh about this place for years. It’s the kind of place where stories to dine out on are made.
Will we stay there again? I’d have to respectfully decline.

Interesting establishment

I want to be generous so will say the bed was comfortable, the place was not too hard to find and the off street secured parking was welcome. And of course, it was a decent budget price for anything so near London. But even 'budget' demands a level of basic quality which this place didn't have. Some of the problems were admittedly unavoidable - like bad weather on the day of our arrival blowing a load of tiles off the roof and making the top floor rooms including our original one uninhabitable! More of that in a bit. But we were only staying for one night as we were going to a party in nearby Bromley, so just needed a place to get our heads down and get ready. We arrived to find decent off road parking, but no reception area (unless I missed it). We asked a couple of people for help before a young man (the owner's son maybe) let us in from the side door. We were told our original twin room was no longer available due to the aforementioned bad weather. The owner - to give her due credit - did say she would help us find an alternative and pay something towards the difference in price, but that would have meant much additional time spent searching, time which we didn't have. Luckily (maybe???) for us two gentlemen who were in town for the London Marathon had decided they didn't want their room after all due to the shared bathroom situation (which neither they or we had properly clocked) so we agreed to take theirs. The owner then informed us there was actually only ONE operational bath/shower that day due to the mixer function on the second shower being broken, and the whole top floor being out of use. I mean, ever heard of an emergency plumber??
Our room was spacious and clean with two single beds and a double but my friend complained of an unpleasant musty smell which we couldn't quite pin down the root of. The decor was pretty dated, but the beds were well made, and tea and coffee were ample. The beds were comfortable enough.
The bathroom situation really was unacceptable with all the guests ( 8 rooms on our floor and I think all were occupied) sharing. Yes the room was advertised as 'shared bathroom' but not to this extent! And it just wasn't ON that they didn't get an emergency plumber in!  I resorted to using the other shower with broken mixer and praying for the best. My friend ended up washing her hair in the sink with me pouring warm water from a kettle! The other bathroom became free eventually and it WAS spacious with a big double shower, but the bath itself was filthy!
I think there's been no proper planning to make this premises work as a B and B. The family bathroom was huge and could fit THREE en suites so I'd suggest a remodel. It's a grand old building but just not practical in its current layout and usage.
We eventually got to our party and arrived back around half past midnight. Hardly late for a Saturday night. The door to the main building is secured and coded but we hadn't been provided with a code and there was no answer from the main phone number. Luckily the same gentleman from earlier arrived soon after we did and let us in, or we could have been knocking for ages or worse. We asked him about a code, but he didn't know it.
Too many basics were lacking in this place, even for a budget stay. I get the sense the owners are inexperienced, but also they just need to seriously invest in this place. And split that bathroom into two or three wet rooms for god's sake! The hosts were pleasant and helpful and contrite as they could be with the unavoidables, but I'd take competence and basic comfort over pleasantries any day. Must try harder!

Better than a hostel dorm...but probably only just!

Words cannot fully express the awful experience of Ruxley Rooms. So to try and summarise, the shared bathroom door wouldn't close as it was off the hinge, the bath was full of cement dust, the curtain pole fell down when trying to close curtains and after attempting to pull sheet down, the mattress was found to be stained and stomach churningly dirty . Needless to say, we cut our stay short and left.
