Grenville Hotel

This review must be read in the context of a one-night stay in central London on a low budget. Pros: * Tidy room * En suite toilet & shower * Clean sheets * Decent towel * Decent bed * Pleasant staff Cons: * Room was cold; can't control heat in room; told heat is only on at scheduled times * Duvet not well-matched to room temperature * Shower: anemic water pressure and never got truly hot * Toilet/shower/sink area extremely small * Breakfast limited to cereals, toast, and "juice drinks" If you're looking for a truly comfortable stay, look elsewhere (and be prepared to pay accordingly). If you're looking for a place to sleep within a budget, this hotel will do.

Good clean room

TV in room did not work at all. Radiator was not connected. Window curtains were filthy and ragged. The duvet on bed was so thin and not effective. The shower/toilet, was vey small but water was hot.

En-suite with shower with no pressure. Impossible to take a shower Very dirty inside, only one towel provided, and 1 pillow per person. Spring bed mattress hurting back because springs are broken. Overall shocking for the price you pay. Would it recommend anyone

This was fine as a place to sleep after a night out in London. Conveniently located and great service. Small room and run down, but well priced and clean.

No Hot shower in room 407 in morning no hot water wash face be reported to recepicion nothing been done no shower in morning. Breakfast very very limit just loaf bread no ham no chease nothing just jam and botter juice coffe and tea.

Let me check in early very helpful staff

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.

All the rooms smelt like smoking had taken place in them

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.

OK for one night passing through

The room was very poor. It it tired, scruffy and in a generally poor state. The bathroom was terrible. Although it didn't appear to be actually dirty there were stains and damaged things everywhere. The window didn't open and the extractor fan didn't work. Finally I have returned home to find I have bed bug bites over my body. I will be reporting them to the environmental health authority for the area.

Upon arrival i was rudely told i couldn't check in for another 2 hrs, no problem i took a walk. The place was filthy , i did take pics. On the Saturday when i was out someone was in my room , the bin was emptied but rubbish, that was not mine, was on the floor. The bed was like a brick, my window was cracked. The door key stopped working and I was told to move the lock when i went out so that I could get back in , leaving the door open and accessible, i asked for another towel....that seemed an inconvenience, even though the one that was left just about went round my 8stone frame. The shower/toilet was a joke....i wish i could include my pictures!!!!

This is not a hotel and should not be advertised as one. The top floor is difficult to reach—even for someone in good shape, and the narrow staircase is essentially impossible for those with limited mobility. The room is outdated, with stained carpets and a bathroom that doesn’t match the photos. Breakfast is very basic: just toast with jam or Nutella, instant coffee, cornflakes, and cheap orange juice. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with this place.

No lift stairs very steep awful smell in corridor and room had ask for room deodorant to sleep in No refrigerator No phone to call reception No remote for tv had to ask for one Combined Shower and toilet so small I have been on ships with bigger approx 1.5m X 1m in size

Lovely

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.

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.

We booked on a budget and did not expect frills but the room was cramped rather than small and while clean it looked neglected. The shower pressure was low and the toilet ran a lot after flushing. The mattress felt worn out. Breakfast was basic but ok for the price and the staff member was polite and cheerful.

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.
