6/10 Good

This was fine as a place to sleep after a night out in London. Conveniently located and great service. Small room and run down, but well priced and clean.

Handy hotel for Kings Cross

Room was clean and hot but could hardly move in the bathroom. It is an old house though, so is to be expected. Continental breakfast was okay.
Burddette, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

2/10 Poor

Sticky dust central

The sheets were dirty when I arrived and the receptionist suggested I use the sheets from the other bed. There was a layer of sticky residue on door handles, and the layers of dust started flaking into geological patterns. Honestly, the dirtiest place in London.

Ian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Roy, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
Martin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disappointed and Misled

This is not a hotel and should not be advertised as one. The top floor is difficult to reach—even for someone in good shape, and the narrow staircase is essentially impossible for those with limited mobility. The room is outdated, with stained carpets and a bathroom that doesn’t match the photos. Breakfast is very basic: just toast with jam or Nutella, instant coffee, cornflakes, and cheap orange juice. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with this place.

2/10 Poor

Stains, unrepaired damage and bed bugs!

The room was very poor. It it tired, scruffy and in a generally poor state. The bathroom was terrible. Although it didn't appear to be actually dirty there were stains and damaged things everywhere. The window didn't open and the extractor fan didn't work. Finally I have returned home to find I have bed bug bites over my body. I will be reporting them to the environmental health authority for the area.
Ciaran, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

No lift stairs very steep awful smell in corridor and room had ask for room deodorant to sleep in No refrigerator No phone to call reception No remote for tv had to ask for one Combined Shower and toilet so small I have been on ships with bigger approx 1.5m X 1m in size
Phillip & Maryse, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Damon, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location just few minutes walk from kings Cross. The staff was nice and helpful. The breakfast was not good and too basic.
Tarek, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient but very noisy, dusty and not very comfortable. If price is low worth it but best in mind very dusty noisy and food for breakfast very minimal
Aidan Thomas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Basic accommodation fine for a one night mainly.
Jussi, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

So good for a cheap hotel. A bit unclean but was perfect for us who were just in London for 3 nights. Does everything it says on the tin. Recommended.
Matt, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok, it was a single room, cheap as chips and had an en suite bathroom -toilet, basin and shower crammed into a tight space in the corner. It was a small room and very warm in there on on one of the hottest nights of the year. No A/C, and window open to a street that got noisy. That said, it was exactly what I expected for this low price. I needed to spend one night in London and to be near Kings Cross station. So no complaints from me. The room was old but clean.
