Overall Ratings & Reviews Goodenough College

I have recent knee injuries so the climb up to my original room at the 4th floor of the Hotel was a struggle. But the magnificent Hotel reservations team managed to get me a single room at the College with attached bath at very short notice, intelligently moving the younger and fitter student to the attic room I had at the Hotel. The Hotel reservations staff member was called Zahari. I promised to make a personal statement of gratitude to him for his exemplary service standards and initiative to solve the problem I had. I also want to thank the front desk personnel at the Hotel for their very sensitive and kind attention to me during my stay and helping me move over to the College. The staff at the College were equally courteous and understanding. For the location, price and convenience for someone on a work trip and not needing a TV or other luxuries, I would recommend the College for a great and comfortable work trip.

great stay, friendly staff, excellent location

Un peu cher pour une résidence étudiante. Bruyant lorsque l'on se trouver côté "rue".

If there’s only one review you read, make it this one. Our accommodation was awful. They stuck us in a basement 5 minutes from where we checked in. The room was old, musty, had obvious water damage, and pest control units in the bathroom. We had booked a private double suite, and it was disgusting. Do not book here.

I love the studious atmosphere and sense of history. Staff are really helpful. Amazing coffee in the area and grear cinema. Quiet streets.

The hotel is located in the centre of London, within short walking distance from Russell Square and Holborn Tube stations or Kings Cross/ St. Pancrass railway station. Despite this, the surrounding area is very quiet which is because it's just next to Mecklenburgh Square Garden. Check-in was easily done, the room was clean and equipped with everything needed for a short stay and everything worked well. I can recommend this accommodation.

Very basic. No TV. They are Halls of residence not a true hotel.

University accommodation at hotel standards but at university prices. Lovely grounds in a vibrant area and close to tube / bus routes. My new go-to place for London vacations.

This space is basic but clean and comfortable. Bed comfortable as well.

I love the quiet area and view of the park and autumn leaves opposite. There is nothing to dislike, such a peaceful place for central London! So nice not to hear traffic noise all night!

No fuss, no frills accomodation in central London. Easy walk from the tube. Helpful staff & beautiful old grounds.

This is a college and the room is a dorm room. Dont expect anything else. It was simple and clean. However, finding the correct place to check in was difficult. I had to walk around the building looking for an open door. There needs to be better signage and/or directions on the listing.

Superb value for money, great sized rooms (even had fridges), lovely staff. My only crticism was my room was over the main entrances so quite loud at night as the window wouldnt shut. I imagine there are many quieter rooms. Will 100% stay here again.

Basic accomodation with decent room size for london. The bed mattress is too basic. No AC like many other london hotels. The location is excellent.

I liked it

Great spot to stay if you are on your own. You are only a 10-15minute walk to a train station and a lovely area to walk around

College dorm room. Shared toilet and shower. Recommended. Walls a little thin. Could’ve used a fan. Great location. Great breakfast. Great neighborhood. Loved it.

Great place for an overnight stay in the capital close to Kings Cross. Very reasonable price and ideal for short stay. Communal bathrooms won’t suit everyone but they were very clean. Will certainly be back! Beautiful college and nice safe location.

This is an excellent stay with friendly staff and safe neighbourhood for walking about London, an absolute joy to have stayed here, thank you

A college atmosphere and a spacious room made this a venue to revisit. Helpful and pleasant staff were welcoming and friendly.
