This is a college and the room is a dorm room. Dont expect anything else. It was simple and clean. However, finding the correct place to check in was difficult. I had to walk around the building looking for an open door. There needs to be better signage and/or directions on the listing.

Great place for an overnight stay in the capital close to Kings Cross. Very reasonable price and ideal for short stay. Communal bathrooms won’t suit everyone but they were very clean. Will certainly be back! Beautiful college and nice safe location.

Great budget option in central London
The room was spacious, modern and clean. The location is very central. Staff were helpful. For the money, I cannot fault it, really a great option for a stay in central London. The breakfast was good, although not included in the price.

Great location. Cold reception, bad bed & bathroom
Reception staffed by cold unsmiling woman who really wasn't the best thing to encounter after a long days travelling. Accommodation was adequate (I knew what I was buying into) and clean but, the mattress was a disgrace. Springs coming through. The shower rail was broken and the shower hose was leaking badly. The location was quiet and leafy. Unusual for central London. Would I return? Not until I hear that they spend time and money fixing things. For £40 more, I could have had a larger room with excellent facilities and a double bed that all worked at the Doubletree Hilton nearer to Kings Cross.

A beautiful and affordable stay
Our double room was lovely with a nice terrace that overlooked the surrounding city. The staff were friendly and helped us store our bags temporarily both before and after our stay. The courtyard in the middle of the building is beautiful and the location of Goodenough College, a short 10 minute walk to Kings Cross station, is perfect for getting around the city.

Perfect for my trip
Perfect for a short solo trip. Staff were friendly and helpful. 10 minute walk from the underground and supermarket. The room was large. There was a bit of noise from the street but earplugs sorted that. The shared toilets and showers were clean and never busy.
