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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Ok, it was a single room, cheap as chips and had an en suite bathroom -toilet, basin and shower crammed into a tight space in the corner. It was a small room and very warm in there on on one of the hottest nights of the year. No A/C, and window open to a street that got noisy. That said, it was exactly what I expected for this low price. I needed to spend one night in London and to be near Kings Cross station. So no complaints from me. The room was old but clean.

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 It’s incredibly outdated, expensive, with a hideous bathroom, broken window, tv that doesn’t start, wifi that is limited, kitchen that is worse than a restaurant kitchen, what era is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