Reviews of Goldsmiths House

24 November 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: each person gets her own private room, for the price that we are paying it's not too bad. the place is not too difficult to get to from the closest tube station, it's on the northern line hence easy to get to places such as leicester sq. 3 showers on each floor shared among approximately 15 people but i never had to queue! overall it was a pleasant stay for me.

Disliked: staffs' standard are very different from one another! i felt the need for an extra blanket and on my first night there a girl on shift nicely provided me with one but then the next day while i was out someone must had entered my room and took it back! then i asked again and another person was on duty, he rudely refused my request and told me that everybody were given one only. the morning after i tried again from yet another person and this time there was no complication again! the unfriendly staff was an indian male! he also failed to help when i requested for the free wifi password!!!

Liked: Its very peaceful, quiet in a good and safe neighbourhood. You get a room to yourself, even if its small but adequate for one who appreciates its privacy. WC and Shower are shared between all on the same floor but I never have to queue for one. You can walk from here to St. Pancras and Camden Town.

Disliked: Its five minutes from Mornington Crescent Station of which is situated in Zone 2. So beware of that when you make your travel arrangements.

Liked: I loved the location. It's easy to get back at night as so many buses go towards Camden. The underground or bus stops are just around the corner. The House is not on the main road so it's quiet and peaceful. Haven't heard anyone partying till late.

Disliked: The bed was quite small (but comfortable) and the carpet doesn't look that clean anymore.

28 October 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I like there. Specially the beautiful garden. Very clean wash room and also bath room. Great kitchen. Key deposit 10 pounds per key. 5 mins can reach underground tube station by walk. I had a great stay. For single room stay in London with 25 pounds is a good choice.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

14 October 2010 Roslyn would recommend this property

Liked: It was very easy and quick to get to the centre of London. There is a big kitchen available and you can cook/prepare yourself a meal if you want to. It was good to have a sink in the room.

Disliked: The rooms are small but for the price you can't complain about that!

02 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I liked how close the hostel was to two tube stations as well as the fact that I got my own room for the price I would normally pay at any hostel for a room with 8 other people I don't know.

Disliked: I didn't like how they didn't have early check-in at all.

Liked: The location is excellent, really quiet and clean.

Disliked: There's only 3 showers and toilets for the entire corridor. Although it's quiet it was a long trek to have a shower!

12 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This is a great place to stay if you are looking for somewhere cheap but private. I had a single room for £25/night. Excellent value for money the room was clean and not even too small (for the price!) it had a sink in the room as well which is always handy. The showers were excellent too!

Disliked: I read on the website that there was an iron, i was staying before a big work event so thought i would iron my dress there. It turned out you had to pay to use the iron on some sort of laundry card. It was only 20p to use it but you had to top up a mimimum of £5 so it was completely useless! I went to my event without ironing my dress...hope no-one noticed!

Disliked: The showers were not really dirty, but there were bees on our floor/story, and it was creepy!

18 July 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Had everything I needed. It was convenient for central London. You do need to confirm your booking and pay the hostel upfront with a card - not cash.

Disliked: Wanted to iron my clothes, but there was a complicated laundry card system, not suited to short stay visitors. In the end one of the residents kindly lent me an iron.

23 June 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was located ideally for our needs and felt safe and secure. Although the bathrooms were shared it didnt seem too bad because of it being a ladies only hostel you didnt mind wandering back to your room draped in a towel.Our twin room was a good size with plenty of wardrobe space if we had needed, so would have been fine for a longer stay.
