I spent 4 days nights here and it was not a pleasurable experience. I have attached photos which hopefully you can see. I have tried to upload pics to Trip Advisor before and it hasn’t worked. The photos are of a prison cell style wash basin, some mahogany 1970’s static caravan furniture, the bare brick walls that give a ‘Prisoner... More

Very well situated just on the edge of the town centre. Within walking distance of Grimsby Shopping centre and also the train station. Free parking. The staff are very helpful and attentive. However, the hotel itself is very run down and does need a face lift. Hotel rates are extremely reasonable. I have stayed three times and would return.

As soon as you enter the lobby it is obvious it is tired and in need of a lot more than TLC. The reception desk personnel were good and welcoming. In the lift to the third floor and the tired out lift, carpeted on the walls, creaked and groaned slowly up to the top. I then made a decision that... More

I was on the road and needed somewhere in Grimsby in a hurry. Unfortunately I found the St, James. This has to be one of the grimiest, tatty, out of date places I've ever stayed. It looks like it hasn't been decorated in eons hence the chipped paintwork everywhere the filthy ceilings and the filthy walls in the bedroom. The... More

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms clean and have been updated, bathrooms clean but in need of improvement. Hotel is very dull on both outside and inside. I found it very unappealing. Ok for one night and price was reasonable. Breakfast poor value for money.

Well this is a purpose built hotel that dates from the late Seventies and it shows. It is a typical example of a once modern, luxury hotel/motel that has changed owners a few times in its life and has never had a penny spent on it apart from the necessary maintenance. The decor is very tired and synonomous of the... More

This hotel is actually owned by the Corus Group - some what of a lonely step child. This hotel is what it is. I have to say they have improved the rooms, updated the beds and bedding and improved the bath rooms and no more carpet on the elevator walls. Also update from a four channel TV to a real... More

Apparently this hotel won a design award in the 70's, not much has happened since. There is a new lift next to an original one, don't take the original, by the time the doors close, the new one will have deposited you on the third floor. Front of house manager was very helpful and friendly, the serving staff in the... More

We had a lovely stay at the St. James Hotel on Friday night. The staff were lovely, and nothing was too much hassle. Every request we had was fulfilled within a few minutes. The hotel was very clean and we could not find a fault at all. We booked a Room Only, but paid for Breakfast upon check-out which was... More
