Great place in a quiet area of London

Just a 10 minute walk from Kings Cross. Property is down a very quiet street which is rare for London. Lovely, big bed and great shower. Only a short walk to Russell Square/Southampton Row, where there are ple ty of pubs & restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our mini break

Historic cozy hotel

The room is very small but extremely cozy and well appointed. It felt perfect on a rainy weekend in London. My room was on the third floor and the hotel has no elevators. However, the staff was more than happy to carry my bag us and then retrieve it at the end of my stay. The Hotel is in a lovely neighborhood and the hotel has an interesting history that is elegantly displayed around the hotel.

Hotel Goodenough was not good enough.

I travel significantly for busines and pleasure and this trip had both. Two core issues. One there is no elevator in this “hotel”. I do not have a more permanent disability but suffer from arthritis and a bad knee both of which can flare. The room I had booked was only available 3 floors up and there was no elevator. The front desk person was not into any thoughtful solutions. The main solution was to offer me a “family room” for somewhere in the 50-75 pounds extra. This room was also not on the main floor but only 1 floor away. The front desk person was less than helpful or accommodating and I was told this is a hotel in Europe. At 10 pm at night I left to get another hotel. Am still waiting for resolution on a refund with hotels.com. In the meanwhile, I would caution against staying here unless you have a confidence in your room and location. I would also encourage this property to come into 2024 and add an elevator or make it part of the written description of your property.

Great location and cracking value. Lovely room with everything you needed. The only thing which was not 5 stars was the physical location of the breakfast hall and the quality of the food and service on offer. However this is really a minor issue for the price paid. The fact that the breakfast is served in the college 1 minute's walk away is stated on the website.
