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 It’s incredibly outdated, expensive, with a hideous bathroom, broken window, tv that doesn’t start, wifi that is limited, kitchen that is worse than a restaurant kitchen, what era is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

Small room. uncomfortable bed. Tiny bathroom similar to an RV and not very clean.. weird smell when you shower.. WiFi is not free and you not only have to pay for each device but it also doesn’t work very well and even if you pay for a day it will shut off before 24 hours is up. The breakfast is literally just toast. The stairway up is unsafe with luggage’s. The key cards randomly stop working. Not worth the money.

Filthy

Very dirty Hotel. Stale water in the kettle. Drawers and tops of wardrobe covered in dust. Light fitting was thick with years of dust. All dado rails had thick dust on them. The shower soap dish was filthy. Didn’t bother staying for the breakfast. Very disappointed.

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.
