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 It’s incredibly outdated, expensive, with a hideous bathroom, broken window, tv that doesn’t start, wifi that is limited, kitchen that is worse than a restaurant kitchen, what era is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