Goodenough Club Reviews

We absolutely enjoyed our stay.
we really liked going to the other building for breakfast and dinner, although this is a bit awkward for those with low mobility.
we even had the chance to attend a concert in the common room in london house and that was an amazing last evening for me and the kids.
the personnel had exactly the right balance between friendliness and professional attitude.
the food was tasty and healthy.
the room was big and clean and with a clear atmosphere.
good job goodenough club!!

The room was lovely and big for London, tho the bathroom was a little basic and didn't match the quality of the room. Staff v helpful and pleasant. Unfortunately, the wi Fi was patchy and wouldn't connect the following morning, but as it was free, didn't mind too much. Great position.one more complaint- thie breakfast is served over in the college, but they would only give me one cappuccino as part of my inclusive breakfast. This seems wrong.

Quiet and pleasant location . Accommodation in beautifully maintained Georgian building; high level of comfort and service.

The room was an ex greenhouse which was quite wierd. The worst element however was breakfast which is in a different building, requires directions from grumpy staff and is in a cafe where half of the people are paying for individual items. You have no idea what is and isnt included.and no one to welcome you. Take the room but get breakfast elsewhere would be my advice.

Pleasant staff, nice room, good food, very quiet, fantastic location, attractive square and building. Would recommend!

Great standard, professional staff, great value for money

Quality maintained as in all previous visits

No bar or proper food on the premises, we were expected to walk to the other side of the square for breakfast. We wouldn't have booked if we had known this. Room was poor. It was a quiet location in central London. You could get somewhere twice as good for the price.

Room was very spacious, although our bed was 2 singles pushed together which was a little uncomfortable. Good Value for money as breakfast was included and a very good vareity.

Unusual setting makes this an enjoyable place to stay. Friendly atmosphere with all normally expected features.

My low rating for value for money was because I paid £110 for a single room when my friwnds who were couples got their room for £145.
Nice quiet location & felt very safe. Very easy to get to Russell Square tube or St Pancras, Euston & Kings Cross stations.
Mind you Brunswick Square has changed a bit in the last 30 yrs! Fantastic shopping Centre & lots of wonderful food stalls.
The breakfast in refectory in the college was excellent. As much as you could eat & drink & a huge variety from tea & toast to kippers & porridge.
Next time I am in London I will definitely stay here again. Thank you

We were in London for my 30 year university reunion.we were upgraded to the garden room,which had this amazing lounge with views over corum fields.The bed was extremely comfortable with quality bedding.
A great selection at breakfast.
Very central location.Would definitely return.

We booked well ahead and got two rooms including breakfast for £99 each a night, which is good value for central London on a bank holiday weekend. The rooms were furnished to a good modern hotel standard and were comfortable and very clean, with en suite shower rooms. Some things to be aware of (should these things be important to you), there's no air conditioning but the rooms have fans; the rooms are smaller than you will be used to if your experience is of big American hotel rooms, but big enough for all normal purposes (and you have the whole of London outside the door, what are you doing skulking in your hotel room?); if you're at the back of the old block your view will be of the new annexe (see previous point about all of London).
The service was very friendly and helpful. We followed others' recommendations to ring reception after we booked to request rooms in the old buildings at the rear and the hotel gave us what we asked for. However, the square it's located in was quiet and I'm sure rooms at the front would have been fine. It's a listed building and so there are no lifts and for this reason I would advise asking for rooms no higher than the second floor. If you have mobility problems they have bedrooms on the ground floor.
Breakfast (or brunch at the weekends, which goes on to a very civilised 2pm) is in the refectory of Goodenough College, which means going out into the square and in through the quad. This was a rather nice way to start the day and breakfast was good and very plentiful. We didn't have time to explore the bar, which is also in the college, or the private garden at the back of the Club.
The location's great, it's a £6 taxi ride from Euston, £10 taxi ride to the West End and Russell Square tube is 10 minutes walk. You can walk to the British Museum and you're also very close to the Brunswick Centre, which is unlovely but has a range of useful shops for all the stuff you've forgotten to bring with you.

My sister and I booked this hotel very early in the year for a Birthday Theatre Weekend Treat; we where not disappointed. Although we did get lost on the way from Kings Cross; our fault and not necessarily the directions from the website we where pleasantly surprised to find the comfort and quality of the twin room provided at the cost of £99 per night per room including breakfast which was the best part, full choice cooked breakfast, continental and good coffee. No complaints, except the noisy little boy who woke us up on the stairs at 7am!

Plush rooms, very well kitted, in lovely quiet square. Breakfast at College inconvenient, and not really worth the walk. Bit expensive for what you get.

The hotel is really well situated one tube stop from Covent Garden. Breackfast was lovely as were the staff, The area is quiet and very pretty. Would deffo recommend.

A reasonably priced idiosyncratic accommodation in a quiet and pleasant distruct close to the City and the West End. I'll return if the occasion arises - we stayed here prior to catching Eurostar.

Lovely quiet location overlooking park, hard to believe you are in the centre of London. Good clean and well presented accommodation and the staff were very polite and helpful. We were lucky enough to be given an upgrade to a garden suite, very spacious and nicely appointed.

Great location, in the heart of Bloomsbury, with self contained bedrooms in a town house, but with access to the main college (c1930's) so we could experience breakfast in the 'great hall'. Clean llight rooms, very quiet roads, and efficient service. Would definitely recommend and use again.

We had a brilliant stay the staff were very helpful and the rooms were great.
We would stay there again.

The Goodenough Club is one of my favourite places to to stay in London. It's conveniently located for what I want to do, and considering London hotels are often poor value for money, this is in comparison great value. The location is really quiet and the staff are great. There is no lift, which if you're not good with stairs then you would want to specify a ground floor room.

Good shower, quiet location so good nights sleep.
tv reception faded at at times!

Stayed here on a Sunday night to make a eurostar connection on monday morning. Booked a couple of months in advance and got a better deal than a premier inn type hotel with an added bit of class to boot ! Nice friendly staff, really comfy bed and an excellent breakfast. The only problem was the room being on the ground floor near reception there was a lot of noise from the baggage room next door and the people going up and down the stairs opposite our bedroom door. the bathroom was the size of a good size broom cupboard but did the job for a one night stay.
Would reccommend it to others if you can get it for under £100 for bed and breakfast

From the moment we arrived our experience at this hotel was great.
Very helpful reception staff, lovely accommodation, great food.
Location only a few minute walk from Kings Cross station.
No hesitation in staying at this hotel next time we're in London.

We were not sure what to expect - student accommodation? hotel or hostel? We were pleasantly surprised. We were in a twin room in an unusual more modern addition to the lovely Georgian building. The room was on basement level, clean, light, comfortable with all requirements. The staff on 24 hour reception were helpful and friendly. We chose to have a cooked breakfast which was served in an adjoining building - the college - in (literally) the Great Hall. The food and choice of food and staff were excellent. Remember to take/remember your room number! The Club is on a quiet garden square. You can borrow the key to a well-looker after residents' gardens - an unusual plus. I would consider staying again and would feel very comfortable as a single traveler. The location is excellent - in Bloomsbury.

All very nice, i would return but i had to pay an elevated price for a tiny room as everything else was booked up.

A great spot, great room and great service.
Will stay again and again and again.

A real find in the heart of Bloomsbury, situated on a quiet and leafy square in a lovely traditional London house converted to modern hotel rooms with all necessary amenities. Cooked breakfast in the College refectory over the road is a bonus (though typical caterers' fare, but sets you up for the day), as is the free wi-fi and the 25% discount on parking at the nearby RCP. All-in-all, a really nice place to stay.

This was previously university accomodation perhaps, but the rooms were perfectly adequate for a short stay. There is no lift and the rooms are spreads across different venues across the square. Decent value and a good location for Kings Cross.
Buffet breakfast was in a different part of the square but it was absolutely excellent, with pancakes and other treats in addition to the usual staples (cooked/fruit/yoghurt/croissants)

The accommodation was excellent. Room was a good size with room for suitcases and other bags. It had a small fridge, wardrobe and large windows that let in a lot of light. Quite spot with only minimal traffic noise. Easy walking distance to Kings Cross station or Rusell Square Station. Staff at reception very helpful. The breakfast was very fulfilling and only a short walking distance to the college hall where is was served. Also we enjoyed dinner there a couple of nights at a very reasonable cost. Would definitely stay there again.

Friendly and helpful staff. Georgian period hotel and retains many of it s period features and is set in a quite location and around a park centred square.

Excellent for a single business traveller. l enjoyed a good night's sleep in a quiet room with a comfortable bed. My room, although small was of a high standard in all respects with furnishings and other essentials of a high quality. The staff on the reception desk could not have been more helpful and l can highly recommend the breakfast .

The best selling point of this hotel is that you can get a good nights sleep, but still be walking distance from the heart of Bloomsbury. I often stay in the Russell Square area for business, yet hadn't discovered this gem tucked away. Friendly staff and a charming location. However for me coming from the country, to find a hotel where I could have the window open all night was just bliss!

Very easy check in & out, staff very friendly & helpfull. room comfortable & clean.

My Granddaughter and I were in London recently, staying at the Goodenough Club. Our visit was very much enhanced by my fortunate choice of accomodation. Staff on reception and in the dining facilities were extemely helpful and knowledgeable. I will definately stay in there again, asking for the garden view room next time. 5 Stars in my book||||

We only stayed one night and did not try the full english breakfast in the main college - the continental breakfast in the club lounge was fine for us. We would certainly use again and would recommend to friends.
