The property was the rudest human alive. I walked in and daid i was here to check in. He actually called me crazy. And kicked me out until it was time to check in. He was refusing my card payment and wanted cash only. Telling me the rooms i booked were not available anymore. 30 mins of trying to hussle me i finally got into my room. The room was SMALL, COVERED IN MOLD. The bathroom was not even big enougj for a shower there was no shower curtain..... i could write a novel of why to never stay.

Terrible. Rooms were nothing like advertised in pictures - tiny, basic. Room was not cleaned on second day, but somebody came into room and stole money and bank cards from my sons wallet, and my daughters jewelry. We moved out after staying only one night. Would like a refund.

Do not stay here, it is a dump. The worst hotel I have ever been in, the staff were rude and unhelpful. We never stayed because of the condition of the room. Really surprised this was allowed on Expedia.

AVOID this hotel
Dirty, cold, smelly and a health hazard. Just an awful stay. Left after one night and found somewhere else as couldn’t face the second night. Mystery stains on the floor, walls, bed and bathroom. This hotel should not be included for booking.

If you just want to sleep then it's fine. It's a dingy, smelly room in the basement. I'm not sure how the rooms on top are. The service desk person is good.

Terrible experience. Check in was easy enough although the reception area was very dirty and had a bed in it, I think the staff sleep there during the night. Upon arrival in my room I struggled to get the door locked and as a single traveler felt uneasy all night that someone would just walk in, found the room to be very dirty, I didn't dare use the shower as I would have come out of it dirtier than I went in. Lots of hairs and mold on the floor and walls, toilet hadn't been cleaned since previous guest with feces marks in the bowl. Bed very squeaky and uncomfortable with springs poking out and only a sheet and a throw on it, I was freezing all night due to drafty window and lack of bedding. Giving up on sleep at 6am due to the uncomfortable bed I decided to leave the hotel and find a early cafe or something to sit in comfortably and even though I struggled to lock the door the previous night, the struggle to unlock my next door the next morning was almost panic inducing, I called reception a number of times to report I was locked in my room but no answer, eventually managed to force the lock open with considerable force and left a note on the reception desk advising this as no one was there. Guests in other rooms could be heard as if they were in my room, very bad nights sleep. Honestly wouldn't come back here if I was paid to, I will pay the extra £50 to stay in a Premier Inn or Travelodge next time.

Awful
I had an awful experience at the Goodwood hotel, and I cannot recommend it to anyone. The room was filthy, with dirty carpets and a strong, unpleasant damp smell. The bathroom was unusable without flooding the floor, as there was no shower curtain provided. To make matters worse, the door was covered in mould, and the plug sockets looked unsafe. No basic amenities were available—no shower gel, and not a single hook or peg to hang clothes since all were broken. The lack of care and maintenance was clear throughout. When I brought up these issues with the reception staff, they were incredibly rude and dismissive, saying, *"It's only two stars, get on with it."* I requested to cancel my second night and receive a refund, but they refused outright. This was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, and I have booked hundreds of hotels through Hotels.com.

The receptionist was rude and needs to go back hotel management. We were an hour early for check in. Chastised us for not calling ahead. The carpet in the room old and smelly. The en-suite bathroom was so tiny you could not sit on the toilet and close the door. We could not use the shower because the bathroom smelt so bad the odor was unbearable.

We knew what we were expecting for the price so no complaints on that side however if you're looking for a good night sleep just note that the area is quite lively and the rooms have single pane sash windows so they don't reduce the noise levels. Additionally you can also hear your fellow guests throughout the property.

This hotel was good value, but certainly not as nice as using a premiere inn or similar budget hotel. The location is great, but the fact the toilet and shower was down the hall and down some stairs, made this very unsuitable for the majority of both professional and tourist stays. The staff were really friendly and polite, which is a big positive, but it's obviously and hold house that has been cheaply converted into a hotel. I'd honestly pay a bit more and have a bathroom to myself. It also didn't have any air conditioning, so on a hot day, I think it would be very miserable and the bed was not comfortable. The floorboards were also very creaky, so felt really bad if you had to get up to use the toilet in the night, as the door also made a huge clunk as it closed (you could hear everybody else moving around as well). This is basically hostal style accomodation, just with a private room. 30-40 pounds would make this good value, but at the 80-90 I paid expedia, it just wasn't worth it.

Not very good but served a purpose for one night.
Was at the bottom of the hotel in the basement. You could hear the tube all night and rain falling on a plastic shelter roof outside which was annoying. The room wasn't too clean and was also very hot and humid.

The night staff was extremely helpful. The very best helped out with a number of issues. Extremely friendly and welcoming. HOWEVER The day staff is needs lessons on customer service. Had an emergency check-in and the room did not have towels. Previous day I had a regular towel bath towel and washcloth. Had to argue with the front desk person even though I had a double room to get an extra towel. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Fortunately the night staff made up for this poor customer service by the day shift.

It is an old world style hotel. Shared bathroom. Well kept with a helpful attentive staff. Excellent for dormitory type travel. Classic charm. No elevator which is what you would expect for vintage accommodations. Walkable distance to many downtown London attractions and major transportation.

Stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. They says the check in is at 2.00PM. But we reached at 1.00PM and were allowed to check in. The room was small, but neat and clean with fresh linen, towels. Provided with kettle, tea bags, coffee sachets, sugar, milk. They even changed the sheets on second day. We stayed in a triple room with private bathroom. The bathroom is small but kept neat. Easy access to Russell square underground (5mts walk) and only 10 mts walk to King's cross station. I was a bit worried over the reviews posted by previous people. But my experience was good. It is worth for the money I paid. Recommended for families as well( I stayed with family). The only thing I found it difficult was they don't have any secure space for our luggage storage as it is a small hotel (if you need to check out at 10 and need to roam around). Still the staff was very helpful, he showed us some empty space to keep my luggage under my responsibility. But I cannot blame them for that reason or any other things during my stay.
