Grantly Hotel  

Convenient location for where I wanted to go. Adequate bathroom.

Reception only just verging on polite and not even beginning to pretend to be welcoming. Greeted with the words "you have to pay on arrival and there's a 2% charge for paying by credit card. Tiny room. No room for a bedside light or table so if you wanted a light on in the night had to get up and switch main light on. Tiny television that didn't work. Apparently cleaners had unplugged one of the cables going into it. When it did finally get plugged in, television picture could only be seen while standing up in the room. As soon as I laid on the bed the angle was wrong and the picture turned almost like a negative on a photograph. Rendered television totally useless. When I told reception in the morning the news was greeted with a shrug of indifference. Couldn't face the prospect of sampling breakfast. Will never stay here again.

The room, bathroom, towels and sheets were always clean. My room was very quiet. The staff was helpful. The breakfast is good. If it's just to spend the night the hotel is ok.

The heater is weak and it doesn't reach the bathroom, so it might be a problem in the winter. The charge for using wi fi is 3 pounds per day (!!!!). The hairdryer is a joke, better take yours. The room and bathroom are small but it's ok just to spend the night, if you need to stay in the hotel during the day it might not be comfortable. There were little wrong things like: 1st day there were insects flying, two other days was missing towel or it was wet, but nothing that spoiled my stay.

It's location and the friendly, helpful & efficient staff.

This is my usual crash space for when I'm going to gigs at the Shepherd's Bush Empire. It's convenient, affordable and for a budget hotel in London, you can't really go wrong with the Grantly. Obviously you can't expect the Ritz but for a short term stay, I'd suggest whether you really need to. The beds are always pristine with clean, crisp sheets and the mattresses feel fresh and comfy. Tea making facilities have always been well stocked, towels are always clean and fresh, rooms are clean if a bit on the shabby side but I'm always perfectly satisfied nethertheless. If you want a short stay for convenience that won't break your budget, then please do consider the Grantly.

Earlier this week I stayed in Room 30 and there were a few issues; one of the shower doors was broken and didn't close probably so I had to mop up the floor of the bathroom after my shower. The Freeview thingy box for the tv hadn't been plugged in either and when I tried to tackle it, the screen just came up tinged pink. The fridge wasn't plugged in and I had no idea if I could plug it in or move it without those dangerous fumes coming out of it or whatever. But these things are not essential to a short, affordable stay in my opinion and they didn't dampen my opinion of the hotel. I'm generally very pleased whenever I stay at the Grantly and I seldom bother looking to book anywhere else.

The room was very clean and cosy. The hotel is only a 10 minute walk to the tube station

The breakfast was a disappointment. 1 boiled egg and 2 slices of toast.

I stayed in Grantly Hotel on the 4 of April 2012. I came for a concert at Bush Hall. Friendly staff, average breakfast, good price- all that you need for one night stay. I will recommend it and definitely stay again, if in the area again.

it was close to my event venue

There was always an issue each night and as such I changed room for the three nights I stayed there. First night, the electric bulb of the room was not coming on and they changed room for me. Second night, the lock jammed etc

This was the second time I'd stayed at Grantly, the staff was friendly as usual and its location is ideal if you need to reach the city centre but don't want to stay in zone 1.

Price and location. I always stay at The Grantly when I have a concert at either the o2 Empire or Bush Hall, where it is ideally located. One certainly can't complain about the price, especially as it includes an excellent breakfast.

Needs a bedside light for reading so you don't have to get up to switch off light

Good location, near tube station, near halal restaurant, near main road. Nearer to Heathrow Airport. Rooms were well heated & have warm water 24hrs

Single room was too small. Single room bathroom was very small.

Being disabled i found the staff very helpful with any of my needs, they made me feel very comfortable and that i was not made to feel like i was being a pain.

Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was ok.

We had to pay the entire stay when we arrived. Breakfast was ok (with eggs, cheese and so on) but we expected a typical English breakfast with ham, sausages etc.
