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.

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.

The room felt rather run down but was clean enough. There was no hot water when I arrived & no hot water when I woke in the morning of my 1-night stay so I gave up on the bathroom altogether. Buying a hotel does not a hotelier make.

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.

En-suite with shower with no pressure. Impossible to take a shower Very dirty inside, only one towel provided, and 1 pillow per person. Spring bed mattress hurting back because springs are broken. Overall shocking for the price you pay. Would it recommend anyone

This review must be read in the context of a one-night stay in central London on a low budget. Pros: * Tidy room * En suite toilet & shower * Clean sheets * Decent towel * Decent bed * Pleasant staff Cons: * Room was cold; can't control heat in room; told heat is only on at scheduled times * Duvet not well-matched to room temperature * Shower: anemic water pressure and never got truly hot * Toilet/shower/sink area extremely small * Breakfast limited to cereals, toast, and "juice drinks" If you're looking for a truly comfortable stay, look elsewhere (and be prepared to pay accordingly). If you're looking for a place to sleep within a budget, this hotel will do.

Clean, friendly and comfy

I stayed here for one night before catching a very early train, the people were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfy. I can't rate the breakfast as I left too early. I would stay here again.

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.

Great location, walkable and convenient. The room was on a small side and bathroom looked like an aircraft cabin, however if you're looking for a one night "bag drop off" in London type of accommodation, you cannot beat that, as the price was really good for London.
