The Goodenough college was my home for two weeks while I was looking for permanent accommodation in London. I was quite happy there. The room is a bit small but clean and with all that is needed, including tea and coffee faciities, satellite TV, free internet connection... Staff are very kind and helpful. Breakfast was very good and various, although... more

Nice location but costly for a 'hotel' which is more a sort of hostel. You can pay less and stay close by with better facilities. Well OK wireless is nice but breakfast is a college experience - ok for students but paying guests? So would recommend it but want to make clear the limitations more

Dear HotHit123, thank you for your review on your recent stay at the Goodenough Club. You are correct, as suggested in the name we are not a hotel, we are a Club, graded as 4 Star Guest Acommodation.

My husband and I are also both former residents of the college and have just stayed at the club for the second time. The location is fantastic, walking distance to the British museum and covent garden. Compared to other similarly priced hotels in Bloomsbury the rooms are very comfortable and recently renovated. The only catch is the absence of a... more

We stayed at the Goodenough Club for 4 days while passing through London and were very disappointed. When planning our trip, my fiancee and I, both former members of the college which is attached to the club, decided it would be a nice to revisit the college andto stay at the club. My fiancee had previously stayed at the club... more

Dear Flyinsyd, we are always delighted to have alumni and members back on the square. I am disappointed to read that your stay with us was not comfortable. As you know, we are a grade II listed building and a elevator is a facility we will never have. Knowing this we have at all times a porter on the desk...

My husband and I stayed one night a few weeks ago, having stayed once before a few years back and having had a happy experience. The room was comfortable, although it was at the top of several steep flights of stairs, which we were not warned about when booking - and I am 7 months pregnant. However, in the morning... more

Dear Anna, thank you for your comments. I am disappointed your stay with us was not as successful as pervious. Our maintenance team has now resolved the shower issue. As you are aware from your pervious stay in June 08, the Club is a Grade II listed building with no lifts, I have entered a comment for you to be...

First time 1 night stay in London. Travelled with my partner from Coventry, originally to watch a musical, but this establishment is so well located, we managed to visit Covent Garden & The British Museum the next day. Tube is within easy walking distance (Russell Square) and lots of gardens and restaurants nearby. Although check in is not until 3pm,... more

On the point of giving up the search for hotel that ticked all our boxes when quite by chance we stumbled across the Goodenough Club. The booking of our suite couldn't have been easier - thank you to Dean. Cost was very reasonable compared to other hotels. The suite was very nice indeed. Very grand features. Good quality decor and... more

We stayed in a first floor (no lift) garden suite, one of four in the four Georgian townhouses which make up this club at the moment. It is a short walk from Russell Square station and across the road from the private Mecklenburgh Square, which you have access to while you stay. The high speed internet connection is free. The... more

Most previous observations here are very much endorsed. Overall, we loved the place - the atmosphere; the quirkiness; the dissimilarity with any mere London hotel. Very highly recommended - not necessarily cheap, but extremel civilised and excellent value nevertheless' We would gladly return. more

I truly dislike London but was impressed with this place. Friendly staff, great location and quiet. There's a private, walled garden in the square which they can give you the key to to enjoy. The food in the dining hall was good and cheap (and looks a bit like something out of Harry Potter). A much more atmospheric place than... more
