This place is a real 'gem' - a home away from home and when i stay in london one of the few places that offers centrality, proximity to Waitrose (which lets face it IS important!), trendy bars and the like of Russel Square, and all on the Piccadilly line and walking distance of Covent Garden, the British Museum and Oxford Street.

As a postgraduate student the value for money for a place to stay in london is really rather good. Ok not the cheapest compared to hostels , but for a space that is in central london, safe , clean , hospitable and a mere stumble from the British library and decent night life you can't go wrong.

Rooms are always clean, with fresh towels, free wireless, access to private gardens opposite the town houses of the Good Enough and more than enough room to swing a cat. Only once have i been 'disappointed' by the room selection with a room that was on the small side of tiny, but still with its own ensuit and fresh linen i'm splitting hairs.

In short if you are looking for convenience that does not cost the earth this is the place to stay. book in advance though as room seem to be booked way ahead , espcially during the week. If you have the opporutnity to go on the 'wait list' for a room its well worth a shot as conference goers tend to book far in advance and en mass and so there are often mass cancellations that one can take advantage of.

There is a slightly annoying phone system to navigate to get to talk to the front desk and reservation line, but persevere you will not be disappointed! This is a classy and cleanly establishment well worthy of the name 'good enough'. Stay and enjoy!
