Many places that are a bit dated get unfairly bashed online.
This one isn't just a bit dated, its actively dirty, and run down.
Broken light shades, lights, fittings, furniture.
No mattress protector, 1 pillow, a floor you don't want to put bare feet on.
Big time mould on shower door, shower head v dirty.
Grime and paint oversplash on so much stuff.
Smoke from window where smokers smoke and throw cigarette ends into the area outside.
2.5
Absoloutly disgusting. Would have been better sleeping on bench in soho square. No hot water. Bed and units looked like theyd been pulled out of a skip. Everything was sticky and dirty. Sheets torn. Shower tray black with filth.
2.5
Bed was terrible. Got a really sore back 2 nights in so they changed the mattress, but it wasn’t better, the bed base itself was flimsy and cheap. The pillow was not very good. Staff were friendly. Breakfast finished at 9am, far too early. Room was clean but in corners dust, old coins, pen lid on window cil etc, you can tell a deep clean hasn’t been done in over 6 months. Bathroom sink was small which would be ok if it didn’t have a broken disused soap dispenser in the most awkward position. Bumped my head on it and it fell off. They provide bar soap so an unused soap dispenser is a waste of space. Interiors a bit dated but instead of new curtains and a lick of paint, you’d put up with dated interiors if the bed was comfortable. For a hotel this is a must. The heating in my room was stuck on, so when I returned to the hotel it was so hot. I’d prefer to be able to turn the radiator off. The hotel needs a little fine turning to be more comfortable, remove unnecessary items such as soap dispensers, and extend breakfast until 10am. Would not stay again for the same or similar price other hotels offer comfortable beds and good pillows in a similar location. The owners should have a little more pride in what they do, the staff were hardworking and friendly.

It was a bed for the night but never again
2.5
Stayed for one night. Staff friendly but building very dated. Our room was dirty and very dusty with a broken window pane sellotaped together. Bathroom extremely small like something found in a caravan and there was no hot water. On a plus, the bed was surprisingly comfy and the hotel was quiet. Breakfast was very basic but did offer branded cereals. The luggage storage facilities leaves a lot to be desired; literally leaving your cases in the breakfast room with no security of it actually being there when you return.

very dirty
2.5
Not clean no milk for room two cups were chipped and not matching window big crack in it taped over .reall could do with a make over .not be staying there again
2.5
I got sick after staying for 1 night in the property.
The rooms were so disgusting. There were dead spiders everywhere. The room was so cold.
I don’t even want to talk about the toilet.
2.5
I checked in and went to my room. There was an annoying drip coming from the bathroom. Who could sleep with that? I went back to the desk and demanded a different room, which was provided. I stayed 3 nights due to the convenient location. No frills cheap hotel near Russell Square and the British Museum.
2.5
Room and bathroom was dirty. Bed mattress was getting old and protruding into my back. The whole place is shabby. Not priced accordingly, we paid about £106 for B&B, that’s too high for the quality of the hotel.
2.5
This is a budget hotel so you get what you pay for. Staff were great, really friendly and continental breakfast was included in my room rate. Bedding and towels clean and fresh. The property could do with a freshen up as paintwork faded and shower room akin to something in an old campervan/ caravan. I had a single room which was ok for 1 night to put my head down but wouldnt want to stay in a single room for any longer.
2.5
Check in/out was at a different hotel 2 doors down. Rooms were very dated and didn't look like they had been hoovered for weeks. Room smelt of stale cigarettes probably from years ago. Shower room/toilet was so small and old. Can't cooment on breakfast as we didn't stay for it. Would rather pay double and stay somewhere else. I will not be back to this hotel, ever.

Better than nothing but only just.

A cheap Bed in London.
2.5
My short stay at Grenville Hotel was amazing, I got what I expected for what I paid. The staff were very friendly and approachable. The only thing that could be improved is the overall cleanliness of the room from my perspective, and perhaps fix appliances that are not seem to be working.
2.5
I'd booked the hotel as a cheap last minute option before seeing all of the negative reviews.
The hotel and communal areas are in need of restoration, and there was a smell and many areas needed to be cleaned.
My room however was clean, including bedding and the bathroom area.
Unfortunately the hot water and the bathroom light weren't working but other than these things, the room was absolutely fine.
I wouldn't rush back to stay, but if I needed a single room at short notice again, I'd book here.
Receptionist was absolutely lovely and helpful as well. No issues at all with the staff.
2.5
Very average but given the price, I'm not surprised.
2.5
Satisfactory for the price I paid. Breakfast very basic. I would have appreciated hot water
2.5
This hotel is awful not clean at all breakfast is a loaf of bread thrown on the side cereals and plastic cheese the rooms are so small and dark and filthy inside i wouldnt rate it at all
2.5
In nearly 30 years of staying in all classes of hotel around the world this was the worst. Booked for 3 days - checked out after 1 and regretted being there that long. The room was in the basement (no working lights in the corridor) the stairs smelt like someone had urinated down them, the room looked like it hadn't been cleaned - ever. The en-suite was a moulded plastic contraption in the corner with no working light, a dribble of water and mould. Whatever you're looking for in a hotel - this isn't it.
2.5
The instructions to use the shower were so complicated that I gave up.
The breakfast was ok but not outstanding.
2.5
No Elevators, Very hard to move bags up stair , 2 flights with narrow steps, bathroom too narrow to use, no place to stand in front of sink. Your head hits to railing or door hooks, every time you turn in bathroom, Breakfast not much choice, no eggs.
2.5
Rather than the poor attempt at providing a desultory breakfast of toast and tea -- there are a dozen cafés within a short walk that provide a hot breakfast -- spend the money to hire actual cleaners, not somebody's layabout son who can't even hoover the extremely dirty carpets. You have the most important thing: convenient location. Keep the premises clean and you will have non-stop and reasonably satisfied customers. Despite the noise (>_<) wow, Guilford Street is noisy. I have low expectations for a convenient cheap hotel near KX but you managed to fall far below them.
2.5
Staff, very pleasant and helpful.
Room very clean, great mattress.
Bathroom clean, shower perhaps a bit low on water pressure, but decent and hot water.
All in all, great value for money.
2.5
I stayed here for one night before catching a very early train, the people were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfy. I can't rate the breakfast as I left too early. I would stay here again.
2.5
The single room No.611 was dirty. The bathroom was disgusting. I couldn't even bring myself to use the shower. I felt the need to wash my hands every time I touched anything.
Breakfast was cereal, toast and instant coffee.
I have taken photos as I can't believe Expedia would advertise this place !!!
2.5
Single bed sloped to the left so kept thinking i was going to fall out carpet dirty, grime on skirting boards and top of cupboards .... But heh £82 for room in London if you're not too fussy its ok value
2.5
Room was tiny. Bed uncomfortable. Back of tv thick with dust. Toilet/shower absolutely tiny, basically a converted cupboard. Had to ask for new towels. When asking for iron and ironing board told to fetch the board myself. Area is fine but for £100 a night you can get far, far better.
2.5
Relatively cheap stay is the only slight positive, as for the rest it’s about as awful as you can get. Don’t be fooled by breakfast included, basically help yourself to a few cereals and some bread in a cramped, dirty little room.
2.5
Very polite and helpful staff
2.5
Great spot, needed in a pinch and did the job. Not classy. Not fancy, but it was there for me in a time of need! Thank you!
2.5
It was ok but wouldn't stay again.
2.5
No hot water. Unacceptable. Reception said ‘that’s fine’. What?
