The hotel was basic, very old fashioned, my room was definitely in need of refurbishment, the curtains didn’t close properly, Noticed some fire doors were perminatly propped open. Unsafe for guests. Excellent helpful staff, very clean bed linen and white towels, comfortable bed but NO mattress or pillow protectors on bed. Had to go 2 doors down for reception and breakfast! NOT sure on security in hotel I stayed at only secure card entrance, internet had said 24 hours security, there were some cameras, SO presume they covered both Hotels ! Even though I once went to reception and there was no one there watching these cameras. OVERALL A VERY GOOD CHEAP HOTEL IN LONDON 😊

Disliked: Amenities
I didn’t like having to go to one building and sleeping in another building where there was no 24 hour reception. I was put on 4 flight of stairs with no lifts. The place is a very old house that needs to be demolished. I felt unsafe while I was there. I left at 4:30 in the morning and had no breakfast. I believe that Camden borough should shut that place down as it seems to be more of a health hazard. I feel that I should get a refund for what I had. Would never go there again.

Just start by booking 1 night, and then reassess

It is passable, I suppose. They charge you for poor quality wifi. The breakfast is stale cereal and bread, instant coffee or tea, and juice. It isn't really worthwhile but I suppose it is something. They have a 36 hour cancellation policy, presumably instituted because so many people wanted to cancel immediately after arrival.

Neither "small" nor "cheap" needs to be this bad

I was actually given a room in the neighboring Grenville Hotel, rather than the Guilford. It was a very small single. Furnishings were all in poor condition, the place desperately needs cleaning and airing out. The single-glazed windows did nothing to shut out the city noise anyway, but the smell of damp means you're best leaving it open. The "bathroom" (crammed inside a sodden cupboard) was really grim. Despite following the quirky instructions, I could get no hot water from the tap or the shower.

Decent price, great location, good service

Its a decent hotel at quite center of london. For a decent price. Much better than staying at the airBnB or hostels. Its close to chancery lane tube station and has plenty restaurants nearby. The breakfast is okayish but the hosts are very hospitable.

Better then reviews suggested

Really only needed a base for one night, it was good for that reason....was warm, quiet, clean....small room, small bathroom...but everything was there for you to use....WiFi is extra....breakfast, although included, not up to much, cereal & toast only.... Was allowed to check in at 11.30, that was a big bonus....

Just awful

Sadly this place is not fit for purpose! I rarely give a bad review and always try and highlight the good points too but here there just wasn’t any! It was just awful! We ended up with the family room (still at £256 per night) as booked at short notice which was fine. There were 2 double beds and 2 singles, one of the beds was next to a mouldy wall and the other 2 had dirty pillow cases and sheets so me and my daughter had to share the only bed that was slightly better luckily one of the doubles! The wardrobe we opened and the back had fallen off the doors were broken as was the floor. All the chest of draws had seen better days. There was no toilet roll in what I can only describe as a filthy small plastic caravan shower/toilet. The carpet was so dirty that we didn’t even want to take our shoes and socks off! The sockets kept making loud noises so we had to turn them all off just in case and if we had turn the rusty old lamp on it may well have blown up! I would really encourage people not to stay here as you will be disappointed and then it’s too late! We didn’t bother complaining as the rest of the building looked just as bad so wouldn’t have been anywhere else to go!
