If you don't want a television in your room (I don't), this is beyond a shadow of a doubt the best value in central London. Room was immaculate, with more space and more wardrobe space than many 4-star commercial establishments I have stayed in. Also laundry facilities - a real plus on longer trips! Easy walk from King's Cross, even with luggage. Highly recommended.

Staff were helpful. It was good to leave luggage safely after we put our room key in. It was a quiet, safe environment and staff were friendly and were able to offer local information. It made for a very successful stay.

Friendly helpful people at the reception. Very quiet location. I have been staying very often in Goodenough House and I never had any problems. I hope to return next year. Greetings from Belgium Elise
