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.

Very poor hotel!

Very poor hotel. Ive stayed in over 50 hotels in london and this is one of the worst. Room was not the cleanest. Carpets hadnt been hoovered. My room had no towels and only had 1 small pot of milk. I asked for more then they gave me 1 considering i use 3 to make 1 cup of tea. The funniest thing was the breakfast which is displayed as continental. All they serve is drinks, toast and cereal - Thats it! No pastries, eggs nothing. The wifi is also chargabale. I couldn't believe the size on my room when i arrived. The bathroom was insanely small. It smelt of paint. Not sure what they painted as the room needed so much work. The one positive is the lady on reception was nice. But theres no chance i would stay here again! Theres cheaper hotels in london that offer a better hotel for its guests.

Many places that are a bit dated get unfairly bashed online. This one isn't just a bit dated, its actively dirty, and run down. Broken light shades, lights, fittings, furniture. No mattress protector, 1 pillow, a floor you don't want to put bare feet on. Big time mould on shower door, shower head v dirty. Grime and paint oversplash on so much stuff. Smoke from window where smokers smoke and throw cigarette ends into the area outside.

The Grenville is combined with hotel Guilford. hotel. I booked for 3 beds, one night with 2 kids. The pictures i saw while booking was totally the opposite of the room that was given. We were given a basement room. I told the Indian lady i have phobia for basement, She was very arrogant, she said, "if you dont want it someone else will take it immediately". We arrived at about 5pm, very tired with 2kids, she couldn't consider that. She was ready to give the room to someone else. My kids were sad and tired. I had no choice because i had already paid and it is non refundable. Room 401 is in the basement, is the worst hotel room i have ever seen. Very dirty, it smelling, terrible, every corner of the room is dirty and even some dirty tissue on the window rack. I called to ask for Internet wife, another Indian guy picked and demanded 2.50£ for per each phone because we have 3 phones. I told him no i would not pay such, he then arrogantly said, i will give a code for free but know that next time is payable. The staffs are terrible and very hostile. The good thing about this area, is just few stops to St.pancras train station
