Pleasantly surprised - lovely room overlooking the park, large, very clean and freshly appointed. Surprisingly quiet given the location. Needed accommodation near to St Pancras EuroStar that wasn't too expensive. Thank you for the upgrade.

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.

Beautiful property with grand sized room for the city. Two things to be aware of. There is no lift in the accommodation as it’s a converted period building and water is only provided on the first night. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Eating breakfast in the great hall of the university is a must as you get a feel for collegiate life in the style of Cambridge with an internal garden, refectory tables, high ceilings ornately finished decorate the hall and a special clock over the doorway etc. it is across the square. We saw several plaques to mark royal visits. local parks are in abundance with a super child friendly one specifically for families. It’s quite walkable from Kings Cross St Pancras but we found this time travelling Piccadilly line from Heathrow to Russell Sq was an easy commute and then a very short walk past the Brunswick centre around the sides of the parks opposite brings you directly to the hotel. Good Waitrose Superdrug coffee shops and places to eat all within a small radius. Well placed for British Library The British Museum Foundling museum and if you have children the postal museum caters for young children as do the museums on certain days.
