The Goodenough Club offers fantastic rates for alumni of London University and very attractive rates for others. I would not recommend it for families as the rooms are small, with limited appointments and there are no lifts. It is quite comfortable though for singles and it's great value with breakfast and wifi included. There are two breakfast options: a continental... More

We chose the Club for its location and price, and were very happy with the decision. Our room was smallish, furnished simply with functional furniture and sported a slightly hard-mattressed bed. The bathroom was tiny, but well-appointed with high quality fixtures and a good shower. Breakfast--included in the price--offered an array of reasonable choices and was served cafeteria-style in another... More

This was a third stay at the Goodenough in one of the suites overlooking the garden. Overall the bedroom and adjoining sitting room are nice but rather dull, and the furnishings are showing signs of age and wear and tear. Cleaning is not up to scratch, especially in the bathroom. The bathroom is tiny and dark and the tiles are... More

There are good things about the Club for tourists, including central location, reasonable price, free internet, and free breakfast (if you don't care about your cholesterol). Also, the staff generally seem polite and professional. For business, it is another matter. There aren't proper drawers to store clothes; the room was quite cold and didn't seem to warm up; and the... More

Friendly hotel in a quiet neighbourhood. Perfect to come home to after a busy day out. Nice buffet in the student hall (weekend) or Freddy's (weekdays), both located in the Goodenough College building. Conveniently close to the eurostar railway station and the Russel underground station. We definitely will go back! More

I have stayed here a number of times before. It has always been my first choice of hotel on visits to London and usually I love it. I have always written very positive reports on Tripadvisor, scoring it top marks. However, on this occasion (March 2012) I had the misfortune to encounter a mouse in the early hours of my... More

The Goodenough Club functions as a hotel with breakfast included, although it looks more like a dormitory building than the usual hotel. There is no lobby to speak of, only a reception counter with helpful people manning the desk. The rooms are clean, nicely furnished, and mine had a newly appointed bathroom. A lovely English breakfast is served cafeteria style... More

A lot of money has obviously gone into converting a stylish row of houses in a quiet square, and I can see why some guests like it, as the building itself has some charm and the club offers a certain level of comfort at a competitive price for London. However I found myself looking at the place quite critically. I... More

... but its not. Still its a gem to share with a friend. Not luxury but good - and quiet. I was in London for 3 days with meetings in a variety of places North & South of this location, all within bus travel armed with my Oyster Card. Breakfast is sufficient - note the location has changed and is... More
