10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was convenient to the Russell Square Underground station. I felt the area was safe.
Roderick, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pleasant stay, will be visiting again as it’s close to my head office

2/10 Poor

Legitimately horrible hotel. Stay anywhere else.
2-night trip

6/10 Good

Clean, a little dated but very cheap.

Great value. Staff were fantastic. Room was very basic but clean and all you need for a brief stay. I was only sleeping there, much better than anything near this price (multi occupancy hostel, no thanks). Perfect for my one night to avoid the replacement bus service and be fresh for work in the morning.

4/10 Fair

Cheap but dont expect a good nights sleep

Shocking quality of bed, just so old that you cant even sleep on it, i had to sleep on top of the mattress to make it even close to comfortable but i guess its cheap! Single glassed windows means you hear traffic and people all night
James, 1-night trip

Good location. Friendly staff Room wasn’t amazing but functional and reasonably comfortable. Worth the price I paid
Lewis, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid!

In all my travels to England over the years I’ve never been in a worse hotel than the Guilford House Hotel. A rating of 5! Should be a 1. The gloomy room is like a jail cell, toilet and shower like a small broom closet (try toileting and showering in a phone booth), even though advertised for free internet the unfriendly receptionist wanted to charge me, no bed lamp, limited plug-ins, and the whole place stinks. If you expect breakfast, you better like peanut butter on toast with your instant coffee. On leaving I had to walk through a cloud of cigarette smoke at the front door created by the sons of the owners. Great hospitality!

Quick London Trip

Quick check-in, friendly staff, nice clean room, great location near Underground & Eurostar stations.

6/10 Good

Okay stay, nothing special

Basic stay. Friendly host. It was a room for the night. Shower needs a deep clean and shower head needs fixing
Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent price, great location, good service

Its a decent hotel at quite center of london. For a decent price. Much better than staying at the airBnB or hostels. Its close to chancery lane tube station and has plenty restaurants nearby. The breakfast is okayish but the hosts are very hospitable.

Don't book here

The hotel was tired and not maintained, our room was v basic, the sheets were clean but the room felt like it had not been aired and we all slept bad. The bathroom had a bad damp smell, the shower curtain smelt terrible. The breakfast was basic but they had used pots of peanut butter and Nutella out for use which was not sanitary. This was definitely not worth £200 and I'm very annoyed that we paid this money for this establishment.

Bathroom was too small and not comfortable to use. Bloke manning reception took ages to open door on checking in
Phil, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A comfortable single bed in a small room. Ideal for my specific needs, at a reasonable price. Conveniently located.
Brian, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Just start by booking 1 night, and then reassess

It is passable, I suppose. They charge you for poor quality wifi. The breakfast is stale cereal and bread, instant coffee or tea, and juice. It isn't really worthwhile but I suppose it is something. They have a 36 hour cancellation policy, presumably instituted because so many people wanted to cancel immediately after arrival.
John, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Better then reviews suggested

Really only needed a base for one night, it was good for that reason....was warm, quiet, clean....small room, small bathroom...but everything was there for you to use....WiFi is extra....breakfast, although included, not up to much, cereal & toast only.... Was allowed to check in at 11.30, that was a big bonus....
Michael, 1-night trip

The Hotel is incredibly good value for Central London. As a 2 Star, what you get is what you'd expect. Staff are nice and location is peaceful.

The furniture is in a poor condition, the sink unit was loose, the toilet was leaking and the bathroom was generally grubby.
