As others have said, Goldsmid House is cheap (£45 per night), spotlessly clean, basic accommodation, and really useful to have fridges, crockery, cutlery, ovens, kettle, etc in the kitchen It's in a great location - 5 minutes from Victoria, big Sainburys within 100 yards, and 15-20 nice restaurants plus pubs within a 5-minute walk radius. It was hot internally -... More

Very good value when staying in city centre. I was traveling on my own and wasn't looking for anything other than a place to sleep and keep my stuff. Pay laundry and 24 hr security were a plus, friendly front desk. Rooms could have been more spotless, but I considered them clean and in good condition. Bed had a cheap... More

Stayed here in June 2010 for a long weekend. Check in was easy and staff very friendly. Secure but not cumbersome entry. Rooms were basic but clean and spacious; couldn't expect more considering the price. Good location as it's only a few mins walk from Victoria station and shops/restaurants.

I stayed here for a few days and found the room good value for the price. Clean and quiet. However, because of the tall buildings around/location, my cell phone had no signal in my room. No in-room tel. either so isolated in case of emergency. Security is poor. My room was broken into and suitcase rifled through when I stepped... More

Dear Sir, Madam, The entrance at Goldsmid House has two doors that can only be opened by FOB’s (key access). In addition to this each bedroom has a unique key and we recommend never to leave your door unlocked even if you are just fetching something from the kitchen. It is possible that someone from your own corridor noticed you... More

The room was big enough, the ensuite shower and toilet were excellent, the location couldn't be bettered. Double glazing made it very quiet at night. No television but who needs it?
