The Spotlight on The Goodenough on Mecklenburgh Square

Georgian Elegance Just Minutes from King's Cross

Modern luxury meets timeless charm at The Goodenough on Mecklenburgh Square, a beautifully restored hotel tucked away in Bloomsbury. Housed in five elegant Georgian townhouses, this peaceful retreat feels worlds away from the city's buzz—yet it's just a short walk from King's Cross and St Pancras International stations. With newly refurbished rooms, free WiFi, and thoughtful nods to 19th-century design, it’s a sophisticated base for music lovers exploring London’s vibrant concert scene.

Why Concert-goers love it

Conveniently located just under a mile from transport hubs like King's Cross and St Pancras, getting to and from major music venues is a breeze. After a show, return to a quiet, residential square perfect for winding down. The 15:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out times provide a bit of flexibility, and the peaceful Georgian setting offers a welcome escape after high-energy nights.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish, central home base
  • Solo travelers treating themselves to a night of music and history
  • Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans seeking a quiet, elegant place to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious travelers who still want a taste of luxury

Food and Drink Options

While The Goodenough doesn’t have a full-service restaurant on-site, guests can enjoy a continental breakfast—ideal after a late night. The Bloomsbury area is packed with walkable restaurants and cafés, many open late. For those returning from a gig, there are plenty of options for grabbing a bite nearby before heading to bed.

Nightlife Options

You're just a short walk or quick ride from some of London’s most iconic music venues and late-night bars. While the hotel itself is more about tranquility than tunes, the central location makes it easy to explore London's nightlife—from intimate jazz lounges to buzzing pubs.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the quiet location despite its proximity to major stations. Reviews highlight the beautifully designed rooms, the historic character of the building, and the friendly, helpful staff. Many mention it as a hidden gem for those who want a peaceful stay with easy access to the city.

Areas for Improvement

Because the hotel is set in period buildings, there’s no elevator—something to note if you're carrying heavy bags. Also, while there’s no on-site bar or restaurant, the surrounding area makes up for it with plenty of options just steps away.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want classic London charm, peaceful nights, and great transport links, The Goodenough on Mecklenburgh Square hits all the right notes.

Great hotel, great location, would...

Liked: The room was excellent. A great size and the bed was super comfy. There was zero noise from other guests or from the street. The sheets were great quality and the room furnishings were modern and tasteful. The curtains were blackout which helped keeping out the sun.The staff were super helpful and really friendly. The breakfast was great with lots of choice. It was really helpful having a small fridge and safe in the room too.
Disliked: Whilst it was clearly explained that the hotel didn’t have air con this did impact on the ability to sleep well. The tower fan was helpful but was inadequate to sufficiently cool the room down. Because we were in a basement room overlooking the main street it wasn’t appropriate to keep the windows open, so the room was very hot and stuffy.

That’s my only gripe. Staff...

Liked: The manager rushed out to get me croissants which was lovely of him. Room a bit cramped, food ok. Shame no view. Certainly didn’t want to linger.

This could be a great...

Liked: Hotel is in a great location. I had a well equipped room with a comfortable bed. And I particularly appreciated the big fluffy white towels in the bathroom.
Disliked: The sash window (the only source of a fresh air during a very hot weekend) was broken and could not be opened to get more fresh air into the room.The hotel is actually three adjacent and attached buildings with internal connections between them. The sign-posting (directions) were poor so I often got lost when trying to find my room or when trying to exit the building.
