Why Concert-goers love it

One word: location. Being close to both St Pancras International and Russell Square Underground Station means you can get to almost any gig in the city with ease—even if you’re heading home after the encore. While it’s not a party hotel, that can be a plus if you’re after a quiet crash pad post-show. The check-in time of 14:00 is helpful if you’re arriving early to explore, though do note the 10:00 check-out if you’re planning a slow morning after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for an affordable base
• Solo travelers on a concert pilgrimage
• Couples making a budget-friendly weekend of it
• Fans who want a quieter space to recharge post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who care more about location than luxury

Food and Drink Options

While the Goodwood Hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, you’re spoiled for choice in the neighborhood. Within walking distance you’ll find plenty of late-night eateries, casual cafes, and local pubs. Breakfast options are just around the corner—ideal for fueling up after a night out. No room service here, but that’s part of the budget-friendly vibe.

Nightlife Options

You’re a short hop from some of London’s best nightlife, from Camden’s live music bars to Soho’s iconic clubs. For a more relaxed experience, local pubs near Russell Square offer craft beers and a down-to-earth vibe—perfect for a post-gig debrief.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the excellent location, especially for connections to King’s Cross and central London venues. The friendly staff and clean rooms get frequent shoutouts, and reviewers often mention that the hotel is great value for money in an otherwise pricey city.

Areas for Improvement

Let’s be real—it’s not fancy. Some rooms have shared bathrooms, so double-check when booking if that’s a dealbreaker. The rooms are on the smaller side, and the decor is more practical than plush. But for the price and location, most guests find it a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a clean, central, and affordable place to sleep after a night of live music, the Goodwood Hotel is a top pick for concert-goers on a budget.
