I’m so grateful for this place!! This was the perfect place to stay and for my first time to London by myself I felt so safe there. It was extremely clean, easily accessible, and everything I could’ve needed for a price that worked for me and made a trip to London possible. If you’re a solo traveler this is perfect and a major step above a hostile.

Fantastic location (close to King's Cross and Russell Square stations) in a quiet area. My ensuite room was very clean and they provided towels and toiletries, you'll have to bring your own hairdryer though. Bed could be a little bit more comfortable but overall my stay was great. Friendly and helpful staff all around as well. The breakfast was a good option to have too and was very reasonably priced.

Close to tube station, restaurants & grocery store. Easily walkable area, good security. Able to pay for meals which are very reasonably priced, usually 2 choices. Laundry available again very reasonable price. The negative for some people is shared shower room & toilets for basic room.

Goodenough College provided an ideal opprtunity for me to stay in London while attending conference and doing research. It was clean, well appointed and ideally located. The scholarly atmosphere was also very nice, providing a haven from the busy city.

You are staying on a small college campus, so it is very safe & secure. There were some events going on, but overall the campus was quiet. Room was large, clean & comfortable & had good wifi. Very short walk to SoHo, West End & several Tube stations. There are a lot of bars/restaurants around but most of them close early due to it being a smaller neighborhood. Overall I would definitely stay again!

I really like the college atmosphere and the location close to Russel Square and the Brunswick Centre. A beautiful place with friendly and helpful staff and spacious rooms. I‘ve stayed here several times already and all the rooms I‘ve stayed in so far had refrigerators, some rooms also had a kettle. The beds are comfortable and the place is clean in general. The breakfast buffet is really good and affordable. Recommended!

It's a lovely facility, but I had booked a female only dorm and a man went into the shower when I was there. I let reception know and they were apologetic, but not sure if anything was done about it. They thought that maybe the man was a guest in one of the rooms.

Loved staying here. It was clean and felt very safe. As a woman travelling solo this is important. The only sound was tennis being played and parakeets. All staff helpful and the garden was delightful to relax in. The food was good and inexpensive. Breakfast an excellent option for a busy day in the city.
