No fuss, no frills accomodation in central London. Easy walk from the tube. Helpful staff & beautiful old grounds.
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.
Superb value for money, great sized rooms (even had fridges), lovely staff.
My only crticism was my room was over the main entrances so quite loud at night as the window wouldnt shut. I imagine there are many quieter rooms.
Will 100% stay here again.
Great spot to stay if you are on your own. You are only a 10-15minute walk to a train station and a lovely area to walk around

College dorm room. Shared toilet and shower. Recommended. Walls a little thin. Could’ve used a fan. Great location. Great breakfast. Great neighborhood. Loved it.
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.
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.
Perfect for an overnight stay for a work meeting nearby.

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.
Convenient location close to transport hubs. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean room with a good en-suite shower. Fridge in room, but no tea/coffee making facilities. Restaurant available with reasonably priced options. Quiet surroundings.
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.
