First review but felt it was important for other travellers to be aware. Stayed at this hotel for one night in London. On arrival staff were friendly. However, the quality of the room was very poor. The duvet cover had a hole in it, the pillows were very uncomfortable, and the mattress was very old as the springs were very prominent and could be felt easily. The bathroom sink was blocked and smelt and the shower had mould in it and the water pressure was more like a trickle. The rooms surrounding were very loud, no sound proofing so didn't get a good night sleep. Overall, would not stay again.

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.

The benefit is that the hotel is very close to Great Ormond Street Hospital. The hotel is clean. However, I did not enjoy my stay - it is poor value for £84 and should not be more than £60. The bathroom is tiny and like an airplane toilet. The fan inside the toilet was very loud, and one of the lights did not turn on. The room felt very cramped. The clothes hanger was botched together with random hangers, and the beds were not comfortable. We had to enter the hotel through the neighbouring Guildford hotel. The room was also noisy, and we could hear rooms opening and closing outside.

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.

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.

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.
