“This wonderfully vibrant Mexican themed hotel is a shining light in Camberwell. Bright, cheerful rooms are full of character and thoughtful touches. Make sure you sample the to die for tapas, as well as the knockout cocktails in the Havana Lounge. A new wave of affordable and stylish hotels.”

Hotel review

Brothers Jose and Mel have directed their artistic talents into designing this one-off south London sanctuary with an idiosyncratic mix of Mexican art, wrought-iron bedsteads, handmade wash basins and sumptuous colours. You'll find hot sauce, organic chocolate and a welcome note by your bed. Never mind if the Camberwell location is off-beat, Church Street would be worth staying in wherever it was.

Church Street Hotel

"The 31 rooms are packed with character, but don’t skimp on practicality or comfort."

Originally published by The Telegraph

Church Street Hotel

"There are only so many porridge-coloured rooms with black furniture and a single pink gerbera that a reviewer can take. This week I'm bound for something so colourful I can't quite believe it's in south London."

Originally published by The Guardian

Angels & Gypsies

"A serene, churchy theme defines the dining-room, where restored pews and prayer chairs do for seating, and back-lit stained-glass tableaux hang on bare brick walls."
