Pe

It is een excelent hotel, with nice and adequate staff. The Goodenough House with the nice, very large breakfast room (“Zweinstein-like”) , the garden opposite the hotel was nice tø visite. [ only the “courtyard” view was horrific… , a view at a wall…]

Well priced and located

Good price and conveniently located for travel on subway and rail services. Breakfast was good. Room was clean and comfortable—hallway carpet a bit worn
Susan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Needs TLC / Investment

A nice space and location. The decorations and ammenities for the room are well done. However, it needs some maintenance and new carpet. The carpet was all stained and disgusting in our room and hallways. And there were chips and repairs in the walls that were not touched up with paint. And there is NO A/C.

Central location and safe

Excellent choice for a great location , but ask for a lower floor if you’re not too good with stairs

Kathy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING -- Best place i have stayed in London -- i years
paul, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hotel is trying to price itself to look like it's at the quality end of the market, but it fails to deliver. A stuffy attic room with cheap, lumpy foam rubber filled pillows and no lift doesn't justify the price tag. So - no, it isn't "good enough."
Ewan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay clean and we had a large suite. Close to a lot of places.
Marie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

As a solo traveller I enjoyed a fabulous stay in one of the hotel’s single rooms. Comfortable, stylish and well equipped, I’d thoroughly recommend this accommodation.
Lucy, 1-night trip

Nice hotel (get the right room!)

Nice hotel, good size room, clean and tidy. Only issue is we had a room on the ground floor close to reception so very noisy particularly on a morning.

Wenlong, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a great hotel option. Convenient and lovely. But heads up— there is no elevator. If you have big luggage, thick can be hard. Staff were amazing and helped us with our suitcases. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay!

Clean, peacefull, felt safe. Green enviroment. And walking distance from the tube.
