This was a real gem, I was lucky enough to stay here in the holiday season whilst the students were away. There was a little bar with very reasonably priced drinks and I got to listen to a jazz concert. Wonderful surroundings.

I’m so grateful for this place!! This was the perfect place to stay and for my first time to London by myself I felt so safe there. It was extremely clean, easily accessible, and everything I could’ve needed for a price that worked for me and made a trip to London possible. If you’re a solo traveler this is perfect and a major step above a hostile.

Fantastic location (close to King's Cross and Russell Square stations) in a quiet area. My ensuite room was very clean and they provided towels and toiletries, you'll have to bring your own hairdryer though. Bed could be a little bit more comfortable but overall my stay was great. Friendly and helpful staff all around as well. The breakfast was a good option to have too and was very reasonably priced.

Ok for a one night stay in Central London. Room very basic, which was as expected. Disappointing to only get given one saggy pillow, so I had to stuff a folded bath towel underneath to bolster. Shower was basically a hand-held so low on pressure.

Goodenough College provided an ideal opprtunity for me to stay in London while attending conference and doing research. It was clean, well appointed and ideally located. The scholarly atmosphere was also very nice, providing a haven from the busy city.

Close to tube station, restaurants & grocery store. Easily walkable area, good security. Able to pay for meals which are very reasonably priced, usually 2 choices. Laundry available again very reasonable price. The negative for some people is shared shower room & toilets for basic room.

It was good for what I paid for. I only stayed for a nigh, I wouldn’t want to be there anymore than that. Maybe 2-3 nights max, it’s not the coziest place and it smells stale. The front desk guy who checked me in was really nice. The guy who checked me out, wasn’t so much. I would only recommend if it was for a night or two..

You are staying on a small college campus, so it is very safe & secure. There were some events going on, but overall the campus was quiet. Room was large, clean & comfortable & had good wifi. Very short walk to SoHo, West End & several Tube stations. There are a lot of bars/restaurants around but most of them close early due to it being a smaller neighborhood. Overall I would definitely stay again!

Great location. Reception staff were great and made me very welcome. The only downside is the lack of toilet and shower in the room- otherwise excellent and a really good price.

Loved staying here. It was clean and felt very safe. As a woman travelling solo this is important. The only sound was tennis being played and parakeets. All staff helpful and the garden was delightful to relax in. The food was good and inexpensive. Breakfast an excellent option for a busy day in the city.

I didnt know what to expect when i showed up to a college, but the room itself was spacious and the property/grounds were quite nice. If you can deal with being a short train/bus from main attractions (and a shared bathroom) then this place works
