Goodenough Club Reviews

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.
