Terrible in all ways unfortunately, we had what felt like a port-a-loo in the bedroom, showering well…. You could have pi**ed harder. After long walks around London this shower is not what you wanted. The flooring was missing and broken in many parts of our room. The tv was good if you have superman vision if not you won’t see it at all. Staff were pretty ok on arrival, but after our key card stopped working and we went back into another hotel to get it fixed, he made us wait 15 minutes in scorching heat inside where the only aircon was in his office. Not a place I’d recommend or ever want to stay again.

What is it to stay at the Grenville you ask? What isn’t it ?-I say
How does a stay in central London with a personal aviary, complimentary white noise machine, intimacy sized beds - intimacy sized everything for that matter , from the beds to the shower/sink/toilet closet sound?
This place has 2 stars posted on the street , you will never find a more self aware honest rating , the staff were very kind and helpful and for what it is and location it gets 5 stars.

Excellent price and location. Staff were brilliant. Tiny room but everything you need. Comfortable single bed. Negatives: light in shower didn't work, I was only staying one night so not a problem. Reported it as I was checking out and reception said they would sort it. Couldn't get all the TV channels, but who cares about that, I have my phone.
Very convenient for all of central London. Tube stations within 5-10 minutes walk. Kings Cross 10 minutes so great if you have an early Eurostar departure, like me.

Below average First review but felt it was important for other travellers to be aware. Stayed at this hotel for one night in London. On arrival staff were friendly. However, the quality of the room was very poor. The duvet cover had a hole in it, the pillows were very uncomfortable, and the mattress was very old as the springs were very prominent and could be felt easily. The bathroom sink was blocked and smelt and the shower had mould in it and the water pressure was more like a trickle. The rooms surrounding were very loud, no sound proofing so didn't get a good night sleep. Overall, would not stay again.

Exceeded expectations for affordable hotel in London. This place having complimentary breakfast and en suite bathroom made it seem way better than anything else in the price range and it lived up to that! The room was, of course, fairly small, but it had everything you could need, and the bed was super comfortable, which is probably the most important part of a hotel! The staff were lovely and super helpful & breakfast was also great, all the cereal, hot drink & sandwich stuff you would want. Would recommend to anyone visiting london as a good option to sleep and eat without breaking the bank, and likely will return myself.

Below average The benefit is that the hotel is very close to Great Ormond Street Hospital. The hotel is clean.
However, I did not enjoy my stay - it is poor value for £84 and should not be more than £60. The bathroom is tiny and like an airplane toilet. The fan inside the toilet was very loud, and one of the lights did not turn on. The room felt very cramped. The clothes hanger was botched together with random hangers, and the beds were not comfortable. We had to enter the hotel through the neighbouring Guildford hotel. The room was also noisy, and we could hear rooms opening and closing outside.
