The location couldn’t be better, a 10 minute walk from Russell Square, 15 minutes from the British Museum, in a lovely and safe-feeling area. The staff were also great. Contra to some previous reviews, they carried my luggage both to and from my room and were consistently friendly and helpful both before and during my stay. The pluses in addition to location: The bed is comfortable, the duvet very soft, and the rain shower head was wonderful. There is also a refrigerator in the room, a rarity for London hotels and very appreciated. Would definitely stay there again even though a bit pricey.
Some downsides: Very small single room though the hotel photos were honest about this, notably so. No place to really unpack, only 4 hangers given. The hotel website listed amenities for each room but I learned that you had to ask for many of them like a robe and newspaper. It’s uncomfortable for a guest to have to constantly ask for things—first it was the hangers, then a door stop, then the robe. I stopped there, again, feeling uncomfortable.

Excellent location, in walking distance (10 minutes) from King's Cross / St Pancras. Nicely placed, overlooking a park in a quiet side street. My room was clean, decent size and layout. For the price I paid, it couldn't have been any better!
I was there only for one night, on a very hot day in London. There is no air condition in the room, and you can also only open the window a tiny crack. So even during the night, when it was much cooler outside, it was still scorching hot in the room, because the air couldn't circulate. Also, there is no elevator, so if you have a lot of luggage, that will be difficult, as the stairs are quite narrow as well.

We stayed for a week. The staff was very kind. The room was nice, with a good size. Tha bathroom was also very convenient. Very good heat system. The hotel provides breakfast - but it is better to choose (same price - breakfast providing by the hotel) in the nearby univerisity hall (that has a very traditional surrounding, wooden decoration, large hall) where the sense is so nice. Internet connection was also excellent. The area is quite enough, in front to a large athletic park - closest Tube station is Russel Square in 7 min walking distance (but also there are 2 other stations in 10-12 min) and some buses as well.
There is no elevator, so staying in the 2st floor was a little difficult. An information is needed before arrival, in order to arrange any different room.

The staff stood out to me. They were so accommodating and efficient. The location was in a lovely part of Camden, London. I took the Piccadilly Line from Heathrow directly to Russell Square and then walked 10 minutes to the hotel, extremely convenient. Uber pickups at the hotel were similarly convenient. I will stay here every time I return to London. Also, being able to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at GoodEnough College across the street from the hotel was a great plus; the student staff there were equally friendly and welcoming.
There is very little to not like in this hotel.

The location was perfect for us. Not far from Kings Cross close to Tube lines. Close enough to walk to the river if you so wanted. Lots of Pubs and shops nearby too. The room was a good size, very clean and the bed was comfortable. There is a bag drop off service. Breakfast was tasty. There are loads of handy bits in the room like a safe, fridge and iron. Lovely shampoo and things to use while showering. Would definitely stay here again the future
The room was listed as a courtyard view. While this is technically true, it's not a view you really want as the courtyard is a tiny drab area in between you and an office building. It's not very pretty but not the end of the world.

The pleasant single hotel room overlooking the park across the road was a little bigger than I expected and had all that I could want, including an adequate desk to work at. Also, importantly, the bedroom and bathroom were very clean. The hot breakfast is served in a different building (continental breakfast served onsite) and there was some confusion as to whether I would get the hotel discount price or not (I did, but had to argue the kitchen manager for it), but the breakfast itself was good. The hotel is on a quiet road and in an excellent location in Bloomsbury, about 10-12 min walk from Kings Cross / St Pancras or Russell St stations. The Brunswick Centre for food choices and supermarket is also about 10-15 min walk away. The Harrison Pub, about 5 min walk, also does a good meal. Note there is no air conditioning in the bedrooms due to to the hotel being a heritage building - but they will supply fans - so am not sure how the rooms would be in summer. I like that the profits of the hotel go toward supporting the Goodenough College (established in 1930 by Frederick Craufurd Goodenough) to provide accommodation and community to postgraduate students, largely international students with limited means. I will definitely stay again. Overall, I loved the hotel and the Bloomsbury area.
Clarity about the hotel discount for breakfast, although when I reported this, the reception staff took this seriously and I believe it may have been sorted. I didn't have another opportunity to get the hotel hot breakfast again due to work commitments.

This hotel was perfect. The location is 10 minutes walk from Kings's Cross St. Pancras station, and hotel is accessible to many bus lines. The hotel was very clean during our stay, the staff were friendly and the location was very quiet during the evenings. I will stay again, and recommend to anyone looking for a convenient central location.
The only issue I had was that I stayed on the second floor, and the upstairs patrons were very loud walking around. Next time, I will request to stay on the third floor as not to hear much heavy walking around. Ear plugs helped.

We loved the tasteful decor and the view onto the greenery in the nearby park.We especially enjoyed the historic connection to the college nearby,. We loved eating in the great hall, we felt comfortable with all the friendly, helpful staff. I should point out that we were upgraded and that was a wonderful treat, but even without that luxury we would have loved this hotel. It just seems to be an integral part of this relaxing area of London. The hotel is near enough to enjoy London social life and attractions, yet set in a little quiet space. We had a fabulous stay in The Goodenough Hotel.
We didnt dislike anything about this hotel- (maybe other people might need a lift) We liked the look and the atmosphere in the building. We knew before we booked that there was no lift and we were perfectly happy about that.

We have been really warmly welcomed :) We arrived earlier than expected and the reception has been very kind, they carried our suitcase (which was really heavy) to our room. The room was really big, he had the king size bed. Everything was great, nothing to change :) We had the court view which is front of another room, but we were ok with that. Otherwise, the room is really cool for a couple :) You have a lovely street near to the hotel with a lot of coffee shop!
Maybe the room is good for fall and winter, but should be too hot for summer in London! So it was perfect for us when we booked (end of October). Could be a bit noisy sometimes but nothing really annoying because it's really at the very specific part of the room above us, sometimes we heard the flooring cracking.
