Location and price on point!

Great location and very cheap. Good value for money.

10/10 Exceptional

Best-kept secret in London!

This place is AMAZING! A room that took me back to my first year uni days (but much bigger and nicer) in a wonderful area of Bloomsbury. Breakfast in the Great Hall, original art everywhere, beautiful outdoor spaces and lovely, helpful staff. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. And ridiculously cheap, too!

serves the purpose

very nice place to have a bed for the night. Only ten minute walk from Kings X station. No TV in the room, but not a necessity for me anyway.

Great visit (again)

I really enjoyed my stay. I was welcomed warmly by the reception team and felt safe throughout my stay. My room was spacious and the fridge was a great help. The only slight downside was that the shower was not powerful at all. Otherwise a great trip and I would definitely stay again as the location is so convenient.
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had a great stay at goodenough college! Room was spacious, bed shockingly comfortable, the location is ideal, and as a solo female traveler I felt totally safe. I’d absolutely stay there again.

Clean and comfortable halls of residence

A very nice halls of residence, so don't expect TVs, drinks making facilities or similar hotel facilities. Also shared bathroom (all should not be a surprise). However, rooms are very large and comfortable and there is a kitchen you can use.

It’s okay!

Not the closest to tube or bus stops. Info not clear as too which building you are actually in as there are two. The mattress as so lumpy and uncomfortable both in a double and single bed. The show had good pressure but in the first room before we moved the shower attachment was broken.
Jason, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly and helpful staff. Surprised at the nice fridge in room. Water didn't drain too well from shower in room but would require a major realignment of the floor. Not greatest comfort level of bed. But I would stay here again.

Oasis

This was an oasis in a very hot London. The garden is restful and peaceful. Staff are helpful, efficient and friendly. Freddie's provided excellent food and the best cup of tea I had in London. Have stayed before and will stay again. Just don't take a short cut through Coram fields. Adults must be accompanied by a child and if like me you don't realise this you will be politely but firmly challenged and asked to leave.

great location

This college is really well located and was very nice with 24 hour reception. There was no real explanation given as to the facilities available so it was hard to know what was available. Reception were very helpful when asked for assistance.The room was quite a decent size but the ensuite bathroom was small. Was nice to have a small fridge. The big drawback was the lack of AC when it was quite warm outside. I would stay again due to the room size, location and reasonable price. It was also nice to have easy access to a laundry.

6/10 Good

If you're traveling alone and want a fairly inexpensive, safe option near King's Cross - St Pancras, this place is pretty good. Otherwise, avoid it. The bed was narrow and uncomfortable, there was a smell of smoke in the hallways, and students were talking loudly, outside my window, all night (and I do mean all night: they were still at it at 5 in the morning).

Was okay

It was fine. Not a real hotel so it was very basic, but the room and bathroom and lounge were very clean. There was no air conditioning or fan so all of the rooms were very hot and the windows don’t open all of the way. There is currently a heatwave in London, so this made sleeping really uncomfortable as it was so hot and sticky with no breeze or any real ventilation. The bathroom also didn’t have a shower curtain, so water got all over the floor when you showered and ended up soaking the towel mat for the floor.
Margaree, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointed.

I thought i was booked ar London house where the food services was but when arrived I was directed to accomodations 10 min walk away. There was a fridge but no kettle or mugs in the room, nor fan in the room during a heat wave. i didnt get what was advertised. the single bed mattress was not comfortable.

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.

quiet neighbourhood in a central location

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.
