Excellent Base of Operations

Really lovely hotel with character. Loved the oddly shaped rooms. They were clean and the bed was AMAZING. I have mobility issues and they were brilliant, offering a room on the ground floor. This hotel is not suitable for someone in a wheelchair though as the reception is up 10 steps, but otherwise 10/10.

When we got to the Greenville Hotel there was a sign on the door that said to go next door to the Guildford hotel which we did an actually stayed in that hotel. The staff were pleasant the facilities were okay and we were happy with what we got.

The staff were very nice checkin in and out. I know it was a budget hotel, but it was very unclean, a lot of mould about and very dusty, although the beds themselves were clean. Check out was 11:00 but around 09:00 we had a member of staff come into our room whilst we were in bed, we had locked our door but apparently the lock doesn’t work.

Could do better

We booked on a budget and did not expect frills but the room was cramped rather than small and while clean it looked neglected. The shower pressure was low and the toilet ran a lot after flushing. The mattress felt worn out. Breakfast was basic but ok for the price and the staff member was polite and cheerful.

The reviews of this place have been pretty harsh, so I booked with an open mind! Room was clean, and hotel small and certainly not fancy, but it absolutely met my needs for price point and location. There is a trick to using the hot water, and instructions are provided - on the desk in room. No frills, cheapest accommodation I could get in this area - will happily book again. Thank you.

This property to be honest how it receives it’s ok to run as a guest house! It’s incredibly outdated, expensive, with a hideous bathroom, broken window, tv that doesn’t start, wifi that is limited, kitchen that is worse than a restaurant kitchen, what era is this place stuck in ? Poor, definitely wouldn’t not book again. The only positive thing were the reception staff which were welcoming and accommodating

My short stay at Grenville Hotel was amazing, I got what I expected for what I paid. The staff were very friendly and approachable. The only thing that could be improved is the overall cleanliness of the room from my perspective, and perhaps fix appliances that are not seem to be working.

This is a budget hotel so you get what you pay for. Staff were great, really friendly and continental breakfast was included in my room rate. Bedding and towels clean and fresh. The property could do with a freshen up as paintwork faded and shower room akin to something in an old campervan/ caravan. I had a single room which was ok for 1 night to put my head down but wouldnt want to stay in a single room for any longer.

By Russell Square

I checked in and went to my room. There was an annoying drip coming from the bathroom. Who could sleep with that? I went back to the desk and demanded a different room, which was provided. I stayed 3 nights due to the convenient location. No frills cheap hotel near Russell Square and the British Museum.

Good value and helpful staff

Small budget hotel, well located for King's Cross and other public transport links. The building is old and shows signs of wear, but the room, although very small was perfectly adequate for a one night stay. It was clean and appeared to be fairly freshly decorated, and the carpet looked new. The ensuite was also tiny, but worked well and plentiful hot water. The breakfast was included, unusual for a hotel in this price range. The staff were very helpful. The radiator was not working ln arrival, but i was given an electric heater which was more than sufficient for the size of room. The only drawback i experienced was a loud noise from the plumbing while another guest used their shower. All in all a good experience and good value for money.

Rather than the poor attempt at providing a desultory breakfast of toast and tea -- there are a dozen cafés within a short walk that provide a hot breakfast -- spend the money to hire actual cleaners, not somebody's layabout son who can't even hoover the extremely dirty carpets. You have the most important thing: convenient location. Keep the premises clean and you will have non-stop and reasonably satisfied customers. Despite the noise (>_<) wow, Guilford Street is noisy. I have low expectations for a convenient cheap hotel near KX but you managed to fall far below them.

Firm but fair review

Stayed for one night. Staff friendly but building very dated. Our room was dirty and very dusty with a broken window pane sellotaped together. Bathroom extremely small like something found in a caravan and there was no hot water. On a plus, the bed was surprisingly comfy and the hotel was quiet. Breakfast was very basic but did offer branded cereals. The luggage storage facilities leaves a lot to be desired; literally leaving your cases in the breakfast room with no security of it actually being there when you return.

I'd booked the hotel as a cheap last minute option before seeing all of the negative reviews. The hotel and communal areas are in need of restoration, and there was a smell and many areas needed to be cleaned. My room however was clean, including bedding and the bathroom area. Unfortunately the hot water and the bathroom light weren't working but other than these things, the room was absolutely fine. I wouldn't rush back to stay, but if I needed a single room at short notice again, I'd book here. Receptionist was absolutely lovely and helpful as well. No issues at all with the staff.

Needs improvement, uncomfortable bed

Bed was terrible. Got a really sore back 2 nights in so they changed the mattress, but it wasn’t better, the bed base itself was flimsy and cheap. The pillow was not very good. Staff were friendly. Breakfast finished at 9am, far too early. Room was clean but in corners dust, old coins, pen lid on window cil etc, you can tell a deep clean hasn’t been done in over 6 months. Bathroom sink was small which would be ok if it didn’t have a broken disused soap dispenser in the most awkward position. Bumped my head on it and it fell off. They provide bar soap so an unused soap dispenser is a waste of space. Interiors a bit dated but instead of new curtains and a lick of paint, you’d put up with dated interiors if the bed was comfortable. For a hotel this is a must. The heating in my room was stuck on, so when I returned to the hotel it was so hot. I’d prefer to be able to turn the radiator off. The hotel needs a little fine turning to be more comfortable, remove unnecessary items such as soap dispensers, and extend breakfast until 10am. Would not stay again for the same or similar price other hotels offer comfortable beds and good pillows in a similar location. The owners should have a little more pride in what they do, the staff were hardworking and friendly.
