Carpets were dirty , as well as the bedding , which is all we had to keep us warm as it was freezing cold.the bathroom was dirty and there were used pieces of tissue stuck to the wall.Breakfast consisted of some very dodgy looking cereal ,tea in a greasy cup...

Appreciating that this will be one of the cheaper hotels in the London area, do not expect any luxuries whatsoever. Right from the start where you are greeted by a not particularly welcoming reception area, to the rooms which are very cramped with paper thin walls (you can hear almost everything happening in the rooms either side and from the...

The hotel wasn't clean, we had to move the bed because we dropped something and it was disgusting behind there, hadn't been moved for a long time, the kitchen staff talked in their own language and didn't communicate with the guests, very little choice for the continental breakfast, however the reception staff were very friendly and helpful.

A lot of these reviews are bashing the place, which is unfair. First determine what you want before deciding (you can't compare a low cost B&B on the same rating scale as the Hilton). If you need: Low cost Room to just sleep & get ready in Something clean (not spotless) Good location Then yes, boom the Guilford. BUT if... More

I never paid so much for so little. The single room was very tiny with a lot of noise from the street because of bad window frames. The bathroom was 1 square meter large and inclusive of shower,toilet,sink. You can figure out how comfortable it was. Arriving at the room I just found a, single, hands towel. What had I... More

It's a B&B nicknamed as hotel. Not nearly as bad as some reviews make it sound. Not clean, but as far as I could tell, bug-free. Staff amazingly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Helped me with many things from directions to wake-up calls and WiFi settings. I missed breakfast time but the manager told me to go help myself to whatever... More

This is a terrible place. I was warned of London's small spaces, but this was just another thing. The bathroom was cut out of a corner of the room, and the shower (and also the sink) was just a capsule. The door to close the shower area was filthy, and the answer after complaining was "its just water stagnation." They... More

Went down for the Royal Wedding, and couldnt get another hotel, so we where stuck with it. We actually stayed in the Grenville hotel, which looks like it has been incorporated into the Guilford House hotel. Even as a B&B it would be terrible. Its in a very bad position for any public transport, breakfast is particularly mean, being only... More
