I recently stayed at this lovely hotel and had an amazing experience! The room was clean, and comfortable, offering a perfect blend of style and functionality. The bed was incredibly cozy, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring. The food was a highlight—delicious meals served with a variety of options to choose from, catering to different tastes. The drinks were equally impressive, with a well-curated selection that added to the overall experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, making my stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this hotel for a wonderful getaway! KC

Went to WOODMAN and the new management have made this a must visit place in SW London . The food was amazing and reasonably priced for the obvious quality you are served up. The Band Smokehouse played a.phenomenal set and brought a few followers who mingled well with the locals , with a very relaxed attitude and children playing in garden, it was like a night on the Costa Blanca ! I.reccomend this pub now as a great place to hang out with all the best of pub entertainment, music great food and a relaxed and brilliant family atmosphere with a great evening vibe for top entertainment.

The Hotel is fantastic and Ana couldn’t have been more helpful. Our room was incredibly spacious and had a beautiful deck that looked onto the courtyard and neighboring bridge. The bar downstairs is very charming and has a wonderful selection of beers, ciders, and hard alcohol. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking to stay just outside of central London

Ana was an amazing host, bartender and conversationalist. She was so kind to give my friend a free Skittle shot, which was delicious. She even gave me a wall adapter because I needed one when I was headed to the airport. Very kind. Great service. The rooms were very nice and clean. Looks like the bathrooms were Newley renovated. It’s amazing because it was a super great price and a 5 minute walk to the train station. When we arrived they were even playing trivia - everyone was super cool and friendly. Quick train ride to anywhere you need to go on vacation. Super glad I booked this location.

We stayed 2 nights at the Woodsman and can't fault it. We had a huge room with a very comfortable king bed which ensured a great sleep. The decor is very stylish, the bathroom is equally spacious even huge with a fantastic bath which we didn't try. The shower was hot and also spacious. The location was near everything we needed- especially the train station- Wimbledon Park. Ana was a great host and always available. Highly recommend

Faulty electrical sockets in my room have resulted in micro-arching on my Samsung charger plug, meaning I will likely have to dispose of it! Aside from this, it can be said the Woodman Hotel has really comfortable rooms in a quiet, peaceful location, a short walk from Wimbledon Park tube station. The rooms otherwise have excellent amenities, offering great value if booking at a discounted rate like I did. Other downsides were that the carpet was in need of hoovering & shampooing, and some of the toilet rolls were halfway through use. The overall cleanliness was above satisfactory, though.

We stayed at this hotel for three nights and it was absolutely amazing. All the staff was very friendly and welcoming, and even though we arrived at night we were in contact with Ana who helped us get in. The place was very clean and the rooms were spacious with a lot of light. We are very happy with this place and we hope to stay here again!
