Stayed here in 2011; requested the same room for 2013. Lovely and so quiet. The folks at reception are so kind--they let us store some luggage while we went off to Durham for the weekend and the came back for the end of the stay. For some reason, for the second half we were given the Russell Suite--such luxury! and... More

We stayed at Goodenough Club for one night only. First of all the best thing was that we got an upgrade from a simple room to a suite - given we went there as part of celebrating my birthday it was a lovely present from them :-) As many mentioned before it is an actual college building - feels a...

My wife and I stayed overnight in the Goodenough Club 26-27 May 2013. It's got to have been the best stay we've had in London. The staff we extremely helpful and friendly. The room was superb, large with a king size bed and couch. It was scrupulously clean. We had the use of the private gardens. I'd thoroughly recommend it.

The Goodenough Club belongs to the Goodenough College itself part of UCL. Its location is perfect, right in the heart of Bloomsbury, close to St.Pancras station (if you fancy a quick trip to Paris or just the tube), the British Museum, the LSE, Oxford Street etc. It is not a typical hotel, rather a B&B. The rooms are cosy, with... More

We found this Hotel had very good service and all the facilities we needed for a 2 night stay in London. However, we were in the "Mews" rooms at the back. These are new additions in a courtyard area. We found the movement of people around outside rather noisy on wooden stairs; blinds on the windows not enought to keep... More

I stayed 2 nights in the Russel Suite (bedroom, sitting room, bathroom). Lovely accommodation and sense of being "at home". Breakfast is either in the main hotel (continental - small executive lounge style) or over the road as a full english. Location is great for the British Museum and other central attractions. 10 min walk from Kings Cross.

Nice location, nice staff. Bedrooms are nice, spacious, clean. I stayed there several times over the last couple of years, experienced different sized bedrooms (from huge bedrooms to single ones). Some of the bedrooms have "rattly" windows though. Bit annoying. Breakfast is OK, not mush room though in the breakfast room though. The only downside is that there is no... More

This is a pretty good find for a bolt-hole. Excellent for an overnight stop in the Russell/Tavistock square/Holborn area. Do not come here expecting great facilities, but just about everything that you need is here. Check-in was fast and efficient. My room was on the top floor. OK, no lift and quite a hike up the stairs, but it was... More

Like others reviewing this hotel, I have stayed here four or five times over the last seven years. I agree that it used to represent better value but I guess that could be said for many places. It is still very good value when deals are available; I have just stayed in a double room for £99 with a booking... More
