Small room. uncomfortable bed. Tiny bathroom similar to an RV and not very clean.. weird smell when you shower.. WiFi is not free and you not only have to pay for each device but it also doesn’t work very well and even if you pay for a day it will shut off before 24 hours is up. The breakfast is literally just toast. The stairway up is unsafe with luggage’s. The key cards randomly stop working. Not worth the money.

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

Staff, very pleasant and helpful.
Room very clean, great mattress.
Bathroom clean, shower perhaps a bit low on water pressure, but decent and hot water.
All in all, great value for money.

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.
