    Unfortunately the room wasn’t clean when I arrived. I’ve got photos of the toilet which had pee all around it (on the floor), a broken toilet brush, no hand soap, coffee on the wall (like?), dirty sheets, mold all over the bathroom ceiling and dirt on the wall next to the bed :(( I went to the reception the morning after my arrival (I got in late) and the guy said that I should come back when I check out and speak to his manager then. He offered me another room, which I declined, as I’d prefer not having to move all my stuff - so I asked if someone could please come and clean the room AND I’d like some discount at checkout as this is just not alright. I also asked how often the rooms get cleaned, to which he replied every other day. I was there for 4 nights and my room did not get cleaned one single time, EVEN WHEN I asked politely - that is not okay. An addition: a few days after I booked my stay, the hotel informs me that there’s some maintenance going on in the building, which would have been alright if everything else has been as it should have - which it wasn’t. Instead, the room was disgusting AND the building looked wrecked with an undone floor and painting everywhere. This seriously calls for a discount, which I did ask for..

    The location has to be the only positive thing I’ve got to say about my stay at the Grapevine hotel.

    The bathroom was across the corridor.

    It is a very cheap hotel and lived up to expectations. Clean but ascetic room had a kettle, sugar, milk, coffee and tea. Comfortable beds with lots of pillows. Bathroom had maybe not the cleanest floor but shower was working and water was hot.

    Inside our room it was very messy as they had been doing work and left things in our room, The room was very tiny and the bathroom was so small you could go to the toilet and shower at the same time.

    The location was ideal and you could leave luggage with the hotel if your room wasn't ready.

    Could not control the heat in the room, radiator on full & could not turn it down. The window did not stay open to give ventilation. Although generally clean, what looked like coffee splashed down ensuite wall by sink. There was no room between the beds: in total 1x double & 2x singles crammed into a very small room.

    Check & check out, clean bedding, shower & toilet worked ok

    The property itself is falling apart and needs alot of work. Its generally run down. But there were people in there working so I guess they are trying to improve it. In the communal areas There are holes in the floor the carpets are dirty and the Banister on the stairs if unsafe.

    The room was ok, it was clean. But very small. Was a very cheap place to stay but I wouldn't use it as anymore than a quick stop over.

    Some parts of the building were under construction. The room was too small. The bathroom was even smaller (not comfortable)

    The location is convenient. Also, it looks safe. Right choice for someone who intends to visit London for few days because of obligations

    Met the resident mouse. Room stank of mold (even when you opened the window - had a sore throat for days afterwards). Person in next room was smoking dope. Shower flooded the floor when using it.

    You apply at the Sheriff Hotel reception which dealt with reservations for the Grapevine when we handed our keys back on departure this was unattended and our room was not serviced whilst out pursuing our holiday whims. We were told that a pipe had burst and remedial work was taking place in another room, hopefully, this will be extended to deal with the small but annoying maintenance necessary in Room 6 of the Grapevine.  It was a small room and you needed to sit on the end of the bed no room for chairs, a clothes stand/station was provided rather than a wardrobe. Neither of us chose to brave the shower, the cubicle was fine but the head was very heavily encrusted with limescale and unusually the wash basin was in the sleeping section, The step to the toilet and shower was quite tall and the door did not close fully the catch plate being bent and misshapen on the frame and the frame woodwork had slight damage. There was lots of Toilet paper. Perhaps due to the work on plumbing the sink did not drain fast.   A bulb was missing from the overhead light and I suspect the "tiny" TV's 'remote needs new Batteries.

    The combination light ceiling fan cooled the room very fast and had the power of a Flying fortress Engine and three speeds. Tea and Coffee was provided this was servable in plastic and polystyrene rather than reusable crockery. Soaps and shower gel were provided with towels We slept well, the headboard being fixed to the wall and the mattress on a three-quarter bed was firm and on castors so rolled a little . Bedlinen was a little thin. There was no noise from other residents and after short time street sounds were minimal. There was NO BREAKFAST and posters in the room were outdated and mentioned a Breakfast room, the electricals were scruffy and no extra sockets other than the two and a travel socket at the kettle point were in evidence. We had enough to recharge phones and laptops and the WIFI was free and reliable though not strongly passworded.
