A tremendously enjoyable stay in a truly beautiful space. After booking many months ahead of our stay, it was such an unexpected surprise to roll in near midnight exhausted from our flight and open the door to the Dorothy Sayers Suite - a generous upgrade from our initial booking. Gorgeously appointed room, with every luxury in place, beautifully decorated, and enormous view onto the quiet street and leafy park from our cavernous lounge and dining area. Centrally and conveniently located in the heart of Bloomsbury, quiet upmarket neighbourhood. Very professional staff. Bed so comfortable you didn’t want to get up in the morning! After this experience, I don’t think we’ll be booking anywhere else but here when we return next year. Thank you.

I’m not sure the property merits a 4 star rating, but the room was spacious (for London) and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. The street is quiet and easily accessible. There are no lifts, so be prepared to carry your bags up/down stairs or request assistance from staff. The 2 closest train stations are each about a 13 minute walk.

The desk staff was excellent, the Italian guy was so kind and helpful. Overall, the hotel itself is more of a BnB than a four star hotel. There is no elevator, the breakfast is in a cafeteria in a college nearby, and there is no AC. Overall, was fine-just be aware.

We booked family room courtyard view for family of 4. It was expensive and pretty awful. The room was as noted on the sub floor level. It did open to the outside. There was no air circulation. No fans or central ventilation. A sliding patio door style set was available but inadequate to cool the room and it allowed outside hallway noise in. The room itself was clean. The bathroom was so small. I chose this because it seemed better than a standard hotel room with 2 beds but the reality was the room was so small and the lack of circulation awful. Would have been better off at a main hotel or paying a little more for 2 rooms.

We had a really great stay. The area is really good, relatively close to a few underground stations, and the staff were really nice and helpful. My only issues were that I think the walls are a bit thin as we could hear other guests, and the shower head needed a really good clean. Can’t wait to stay again soon hopefully

Perfect stopover in central London
The Goodenough Hotel was a perfect location for me, 10 minute walk from Kings Cross Station. Staff was very helpful and kept my luggage before and after checkout. I did not have breakfast, but there was a coffee machine in the room and options a shirt walk away. There was no WiFi in my room, hence removing a star. I would expect the WiFi to work for the price of the stay. I would stay again if I knew that I could connect to the internet.

Fabulous 1 definitely will return
Fabulous place - it’s like a couple of big old houses. I had a single room on 2nd floor - so I just looked out into the gorgeous trees that are in the square in front. Room was a very high std, great bathroom. It was very quiet for London - it’s a little walk to the busier areas but not too far. Lovely continental brekkie - I was asked if I wanted English also but the continental buffet was plentiful, great choices with well thought out extras like overnight oats and smoothies.

Nice quaint small hotel on beautiful park. Unbelievably quiet for being right in midst of city and walkable to ships,pubs,museums . Aviary across in park added a nice peaceful touch. Room was very nice and clean except carpet really needs to be replaced - many stains and blotches. Staff was very pleasant, accommodative and helpful.
