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.

Too old and too lossy. It has to remodel for its electric connection, desk lights, Barth-room ventilation, floor carpet, breakfast varieties.

Clean, friendly and comfy
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.

Amazing service
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.
