We stayed at The Goodenough Hotel because it's close to UCL, where my daughter attends grad school. The room, with two twin beds, was smaller than I expected, but modern, very clean and well maintained, and perfectly fine for two of us. The internet was free and reliable, the Molton Brown toiletries were a pleasant surprise, and the hotel staff was helpful when we had questions or concerns. It's within walking distance of Kings Cross and the British Museum, but in a quiet residential area. Downsides: One bed had a noticeable sunken area in the middle, but I was so tired that I was able to sleep anyway. The "courtyard" was underwhelming: it's simply an outdoor hallway that's open to the elements. The Great Hall was closed for dining the week we were there, which was a disappointment. Overall, we were happy with our stay, and my daughter said she'll recommend the hotel to others who want a location near UCL.
