I had 2 very heavy bags and was put in a 3rd floor attic room, with no offer of help up the narrow and precipitous staircase. The rates were reasonable for London, however I wouldn't have said the accommodation was worth HALF of... More

Reading all the negative reviews about Guilford Hotel, my expectations were very low. The Guilford hotel is about 10 min walk from King's Cross/St.Pancras International (the Eurostar station), which was one of main reasons for me for choosing this place. The rooms are indeed small, and the bathrooms are tiny, but if you only need a place to sleep it's... More

On augurs day night in London this is all we could find for under £100. Would suggest a hostel was better option. Hotel itself is ok buy I thought I would get for for £100 I have to say. Slow net, cramped room. Tiny plastic bathroom. But compared to what other hotels were charging probably was an ok deal. 10... More

When checking into the hotel we were taken next door to the Grenville hotel and to room 400. It was in the basement , it had not been cleaned for ages and was very dingy and dirty and in need of a very big makeover. The bed linen was clean and so were the towels and we had hot water... More

Nine out of ten for location,but that is all this "hotel" has got going for it.The high presence of air freshener should have told us maybe they were to mask the nasty smells.One good point,the bed linen was clean. Looking at the kitchen,we decided to give the breakfast a miss.My advice is give this "hotel"a miss.
