On arrival the hotel had allocated the wrong rooms for our party of five. The receptionist was less than helpful and made no apology for their error. They managed to fit another 'bed' into the twin room and discounted the cost of the room by £5. When we got to the room they had put a camp bed between the two singles, there was no space to actually get into the bed unless you crawled up the bed from the bottom end.
The rooms themselves were poorly funished and very knocked about. There were mutiple faults with the room e.g. door off the hinges, sharp cracked bathroom tiles, wires stretched across the rooms and plastic bags tied around the smoke detectors. When I returned to the reception to make the staff aware of the faults they said that they were already aware, but again offered no apology.
Luckily our party were only staying one night and we spent minimal time at the hotel. I would strongly advise that people avoid staying here. The hotels website is very misleading and the room are not recognisable against the photos they have used on their web page. The hotel is in a good central location and is relatively cheap but still offers very poor value for money.

The three of us stayed for two nights. And I wish I would have read the reviews before I booked - never mind. Locating the hotel was a piece of cake no problem there the location is very very convenient BUT that is the only possitive about this place. The rooms are the size of a penny, the single room has a shared toillet in the hallway, it´s noisy and breakfast is a total myth. This is closer the a hostel then a hotel which makes is rather expensive and not at all enjoyable stay.

i stayed at griffin house hotel the room was very small and the lady who is working at recepton is very roude cannot cummunicate properly she do not know how to deal the customer.
Overall stay is ok the hotel is close to all famous attraction.

I emplore you... if you pay attention to any review on trip advisor in relation to the Griffin House Hotel, let it be mine. Don't give this hotel a chance! Pay a tenner more, book early and stay in a Travelodge. Yuck. Pictures on their website are completely inaccurate. The only hotel with vacancies on London Marathon weekend, and with good reason!
