Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Upon arrival i was rudely told i couldn't check in for another 2 hrs, no problem i took a walk. The place was filthy , i did take pics. On the Saturday when i was out someone was in my room , the bin was emptied but rubbish, that was not mine, was on the floor. The bed was like a brick, my window was cracked. The door key stopped working and I was told to move the lock when i went out so that I could get back in , leaving the door open and accessible, i asked for another towel....that seemed an inconvenience, even though the one that was left just about went round my 8stone frame. The shower/toilet was a joke....i wish i could include my pictures!!!!

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 The room is outdated, with stained carpets and a bathroom that doesn’t match the photos.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.

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.

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.

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.

One of the worst hotels I have stayed in. Tiny little room on the third floor which was not very nice. No Aircon on the hottest day of the year so had to keep the window open which then meant very little sleep from the noise on the main road outside. With the state of the room we didn't even chance getting in the bed and slept on top. No tea or coffee facilities. All we were left with was some used milk pots and opened tea bags. Didn't even bother with breakfast as we were pretty much told to get in early or it would be too busy. Not worth it for what we were also told was tea, toast and serial. Not what I would call a continental breakfast. Passed three guys in the morning who had clearly had an awful night too and we're not happy. Certainly not worth the money even as a place to get ure head down, and that's from someone who often finds a floor to doss on anywhere when I'm at work. Definitely would not recommend or go back.
Tiny combined shower and sink with toilet.
Didn't even bother to give us tea or milk.
No handles on furniture.
Holes in the wall.

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 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
