, July 2011: Had a great stay! Very close to Victoria Station, less than a 3-minute walk. Lots of great shops, resturants. The room was well-kept. The staff was amazing. Arriving from the States around 9am, the Manager not only had the maids go directly to clean my room, but gave me access to a shower in the meantime. He even carried my bags! I've been in 5-star hotels with less service than that. Will stay here again!

, October 2010: I was delighted with my very safe clean and comfortable accommodation and its proximity to everything I wanted to see and do in london. The lift to eighth floor wonderful . I have stayed in places with no lift to the 6th floor!!

, September 2010: It was nice to stay there. I would tell my friends about it.

, September 2010: I found your service to be quite accomodating and hassle free.

, September 2010: Great location, close to amenties. Perfect for my needs

, September 2010: Your staff were fantastic - friendly, pleasant and went out of their way to help me out, as I was only staying one night with an early start and late flight departure - picked up my luggage from my room when the office opened (after I had left) and stored it for me, enabling me to access it to change and later pick it up. I most definitely will check availability again for future visits. This was my first stay. Pls feed back to your people there a hi five! Cheers Andrew

, September 2010: I had a great experience at University Rooms. Perfect location, cleaness, security and confort were excellent for a short tourist stay in London.

, September 2010: A very practical solution to accommodation in London. Excellent central location surrounded with good restaurants and convenient transportation.Very helpful and friendly staff. I will certainly use this location again. Do you have any accommodation possibly in other locations with double rooms?

, September 2010: It was a very good and pleasant night. People were dedicated and helpful. Room clean. Convenient location close to Victoria Station, and food court or restaurant. I didn't find the internet connexion.

, September 2010: Stay was enjoyable and ok for value, fantastic location in the heart of London a big plus.

, September 2010: Spotlessly clean and very good value for money. Thank you.

, September 2010: A very good experience - perfect for a London business stopover. I arrived late but the warden (I think it was Lydia) could not have been more welcoming and helpful - thank you!

, September 2010: GOOD OVERNIGHT STAY/EXCELLENT LOCATION NEAR TO VICTORIA TRAIN STATION/GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY IN CENTRAL LONDON.

, August 2010: Clean and convenient with friendly staff. Felt very safe. Will definitely recommend and be back. Thank you.

, August 2010: I´m grateful for the hospitality. After the checking out I could leave my luggage for four hours. It`s a very good location and place.

, August 2010: excellent position!!! rooms are clean!! i love Goldsmid House!!!

, August 2010: I've been in this college two weeks in summer time. I find it very comfortable for its position in the zone1, at only 250mt from the Victoria Station and the tube, and with the Gatwick Airport at only 30minutes by train. The room was clean and bed too. The staff is available with the customers. The standard of the rooms isn't too high but without excessive claims may be a good solution.

, August 2010: ottima posizione, personale gentilissimo, camera e bagno molto puliti. stabile silenzioso. consigliato

, August 2010: Excellent budget accommodation. My second stay here & I'd happily stay again. Good etiquette by other users - no late night noise at all.

, August 2010: Had a nice stay at Goldsmid house, which is conveniently situated next to victoria station.

, August 2010: A central location without some of the central London noise. looking at the premier inn across the road made me think I had gotten better facilities for only a fraction of the price.

, August 2010: Other guests I was sharing a kitchen with did not always wash up their plates, mugs, etc. I don't think it's fair that their dirty washing-up should fall on the cleaning staff. I would therefore suggest that the cleaning staff/wardens should report guests who are not cleaning up after themselves.

, August 2010: A great deal -- no frills but perfectly comfortable! And a real bargain given the location.

, August 2010: Room was noisy due to supermarket deliveries / rubbish collections during the early hours, and extremely warm - but the central location and good security were big plusses

, August 2010: I apologize for the delay in replying this survey. I have been staying at Astor College for several years in July, but this year I couldn't find place there. So I looked for a place in Internet and found Goldsmid House, which represented an excellent experience. In spite of being more expensive than Astor, the accomodations are much better and very suitable. Thank you.

, August 2010: very convenient, safe , comfortable, good value accomodation.

, August 2010: If you have stayed in London before you will appreciate that staying at Goldsmid House is the best location & value for money ever. I had the pleasure of staying here 10 days but extended my stay to 2 weeks to use as a base. The reception staff (Will & Charlotte) are extremely professional, friendly & helpful & I will never forget their kindness. My room was clean & I saved heaps of money by purchasing my meals from the Supermarket 1 minute away & utilizing the kitchen which I feel was of high standard. Also it was so convenient to have so many eateries nearby if I didn't feel like cooking. Victoria Station is the hub & buses & trains to all attractions were just around the corner. Would definitley stay here again & will highly recomend to all my friends in Australia.

, August 2010: Great deal for the money. Great location. Victoria Station very easy walk.

, August 2010: Very good room, quiet and clean, useful kitchen facilities, and very conveniently located.

, August 2010: Excellent location, friendly front desk, spotlessly clean, excellent value for money. I will definitely stay at Goldsmid House again.

, August 2010: It's very convenient and clean and cosy. Good choice!

, August 2010: Clean and tidy. Very secure. Great location.

, August 2010: Great, clean and tidy no problems. Would have been good to be able to have later check in but that is my only request, otherwise, clean safe and secure, and cheap!

, August 2010: Good room, clean. Nice to have the use of a fully equip. kitchen. The rooms are a bit hot in the summer. Great location and value.

, August 2010: really great place for the money..really recommend it

, August 2010: all was good and it was very quite. All guests seemed to be very considerate of others regarding noise etc.

, July 2010: Good stay and congratulations on the repair of the main reception door.

, July 2010: This is the third week I've stayed and I've been happy with everything, except that this week my room smelt of stale cigarette smoke, which was not pleasant.

, July 2010: I was happy with my stay, but the building was very hot inside!

, July 2010: Clean, comfy and secure. So cheap and yet so central!

, July 2010: The accomodation was clean and convienient, what more could you ask for?

, July 2010: Spotlessly clean and v good kitchen facilities. Very good value. Only one grumble - very hot!

, July 2010: Clean and good maintained. I like that.

, July 2010: A very enjoyable stay visiting my son. I was made very welcome by Maura, Charlotte, and William and found everything to be of a high standard. Very comfortable and clean and will definately stay again.

, July 2010: I had a wonderful stay at Goldsmid House. The location was excellent -- a couple minutes walk from Victoria Station, a short walk away from Buckingham Palace, and a short bus ride away from Big Ben. The room was basic but indeed very clean. The bathroom was tiny, but very functional and the shower had great water pressure. There were also many different restaurants and cafes nearby. If I have one complaint it would be regarding the noisy Sainsbury's delivery trucks that would come late at night and early in the morning. My room faced directly across from the Sainsbury's deliver garage and it was quite difficult to fall asleep with all the noise coming from the deliveries, and even more annoying being woken up by it again in the early morning. I realize that this is not at all the fault of Goldsmid House, but I thought I'd mention it as feedback. Many thanks to Goldsmid House for giving me a wonderful 'home' while in London for a few days. I will definitely stay there again when I return to London.

, July 2010: Good size, very clean, great location.

, July 2010: I enjoyed my stay apart from the fact that signaling problems led to train delays, and my delayed train led me to arrive five minutes after eight on the first day, by which time the office was shut down, and so I was forced to seek alternative accommodations. I knew going in, of course, that I couldn't check in after 20:00 and so I suppose it was my own fault (though I wasn't expecting my train to be so late!), but it was stressful and expensive and I'm not sure whether I'd risk a similar event in the future. Apart from that, the location was excellent and the facilities were generally as expected.

, July 2010: I love it that I got the large room with a view on the street, the most horrible thing were the Sainbury's' trucks coming to load the supermarket at like 1 am. Otherwise the location is very good.

, July 2010: Mattress was v. thin which made bed hard and difficult to sleep on. No number given to call out of hours if needed to. Good central location. Easy to book.

, July 2010: Very comfortable. Special mention must be made in praise of the Reception staff who were unfailingly pleasant and helpful. Room facing the street a little noisy but not bad for central London.

, July 2010: Very good location. A bit warm inside the building, but I understand AC is rare in London and there was a bit of a heatwave.

, July 2010: My experience was all that I could have desired, the value excellent. I shall definitely try it again. I would only say that in a heat wave I should have preferred a room the window of which did not give onto a pedestrian area at ground level. At a higher level I would have felt confident in leaving the window open at night.

, July 2010: I really enjoyed staying at Goldsmith House. The location was most important for me of this stay and it was excellent. And everything which I needed was there, so I don't have any complains. Though speeds of internet sometimes made me irritated, voucher service of internet was great helpful for me.

, July 2010: cannot praise the service highly enough. Have rec. the service to all colleagues. Not only were the rooms of exceptional quality and superb location, but the staff were so friendly and helpful.

, July 2010: Have booked to stay again, it was very good value for money, very concenient and I was very surprised to have my room cleaned, supplied with loo rolls and fresh linen every monday. Highly recommended. Thank you

, July 2010: The room was clean. No fan, certainly no air conditioning and not much air. The building was spotlessly clean and about a ten minute walk from Victoria Staiton. For the money, a good value.

, July 2010: Very good accomodation if you are travelling alone. Accomodation was still new and well maintained.

, July 2010: Very pleased with our rooms, exactly what we needed for our weekend in London. Shall recommend to others and come again.

, July 2010: Good location, within minutes from Victoria Station. The room is best for single travellers. Clean room, tiny bathroom which is fine. Kitchen is big and complete with the basics.

, July 2010: GOOD EXPERIENCE , STAFF VERY HELPFUL, MAIN RECEPTION DOOR STILL NOT REPAIRED,OTHERWISE VERY SATISFACTORY

, July 2010: Would definitely stay here again.

, June 2010: Suited me to come and go as I pleased, no problems with noise of any sort and facilities for cooking were excellent. Also situated in a quiet part of a busy central area near good transport links.

, June 2010: I was so impressed with Goldsmid House - clean, comfortable, conveniently located and altogether great value for money. Easily the best budget accommodation I've ever stayed in. Many thanks!

, June 2010: Very clean, comfortable room in a very central location. Two minutes from Victoria Station & Underground. Lots of bars, restauraunts in the locality & excellent value for money.

, June 2010: Enjoyed very much my stay at Goldsmid House in London. Clean and quiet. Fantastic value. Thank you!

, June 2010: Good Value Room. Perhaps though there should be access to Television facilities but other than that it was pleasant. Good location

, June 2010: The stay was one of many I have taken over the last two years, The policy change to allow stays of less than three days will result in me staying more often. Reception staff were very helpful and the room was very clean. Areas for improvement should include the repair of the reception main gate which is defective. Also provision of wifi iin the bedrooms would be most useful. Otherwise a pleasant stay and I will continue to stay in the future.

, March 2010: everyone was very nice and helpful. Thank you.

, March 2010: I found the accommodation to be very satisfactory, clean, bright, quiet, and its central location was ideal. i will definitely stay again.

, March 2010: I couldn't have been happier with the accommodation for the price. So central, clean room, good shower. I couldn't book the room for the last night of my stay in London so had to pay twice as much in a hotel for a far inferior room with no ensuite and a walk up three floors.

, February 2010: Definitely recommended !

, February 2010: Exceptional

, February 2010: No complaints at all. Very good for the budget traveller.

, February 2010: Great location and use of the shared kitched was a big help in keeping the cost down

, February 2010: I had a great stay. The place is very well run, all the staff were friendly and welcoming and the room, though small, was clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay again.

, February 2010: this was really good, convenient and inexpensive. The kitchen facilities were first class. The only drawback was that the room was really hot but it was summer

, February 2010: Convenient location near Victoria Station (tube & bus stops, shops, & dining), good value for your money, en-suite rooms, kitchen & laundry facilities, and friendly staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, only wish there were double beds in each room, but staff were accommodating in booking our rooms alongside each other. Will stay again.

, February 2010: Fantastic budget option in London Town. Very close to tube, easy to find, polite staff, and spotless room. A+ !! I hope to return.

, February 2010: Location is very good. Air conditioner was not working properly and room was too hot. But overall it was satisfactory and definitely good value for money.

, February 2010: The tiniest showerroom I have ever encountered - but it worked. I must compliment the staff on duty at reception desk (all of them) who were always friendly and helpful.

, February 2010: For such low budget, no one should complain. Was very glad to stay at this location in the centre of London.

, September 2009: great opportunity to see a London dorm and UNBELIEVABLE location! thanks glad you could store our luggage for a few hours - the website and mailings said you could not - that helped ALOT

, August 2009: Very pleasant staff, convenient location. Overall, very good.

, August 2009: I was so happy with my stay here! The directions in my confirmation email were excellent! I'd been really worried about finding it with all my luggage but I just followed what was in the email and found it with no problems at all. The room itself was a pleasant surprise. I stayed here after a couple weeks making my way around Scotland and France, and this room was bigger, cleaner, and quieter than anywhere else I stayed on the trip. I really appreciated that. Also, I couldn't have asked for a better location! Thank you!

, August 2009: I had a very pleasant stay in Goldsmid House. I hope to use it again if I have any chance.

, July 2009: Only a very minor criticism: the bed could be repositioned, making it possible to control the lights without getting up! The switch position suggests that this was the intention. Otherwise everything was first-rate, spotlessly clean, and a real bargain for central London. I hope to return. The staff were very helpful - my special thanks to Morag who provided extra pillows!

, July 2009: Thank you to all the staff for all your help. Really enjoyed my stay. The place was quiet, clean and situated so close to the city centre. The noise of the surrounding area was loud but after a few days you wouldn't know that it was there.

, July 2009: Excellent location and value for money -- obviously basic, but new and clean and spacious with reliable wired internet connection. Booking a business training course last minute on a budget, this was a great alternative to the cramped shared-bathroom B&B rooms left on offer (usually for higher prices). Internet pricing seemed a little expensive for a 2-night stay (charged at a minimum of a week) and a pay-as-go system would have suited me better. (Hall was self-catering so could not rate breakfast.)

, July 2009: Many thanks. clean, neat, tidy and well placed at a price that I can't argue with. I will book again.

, July 2009: Almost perfect; too bad staying at the 7th floor and one day of broken lift; ok, nobody's fault. For a stay of more than three days, one day cleaning of the bathroom at least would be welcome. WiFi Internet service would be really usefull. Thank you very much, a place to recomend and to come back.

, July 2009: The room was very tidy and an excellent price for a single ensuite room in Victoria. I have recommended it to my family and will definetly stay here again.

, July 2009: Clean, good location, litle bit noisy when window is opening.
