“security poor”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2010

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 out for dinner. At night theres nobody around and reception is unmanned. So you are pretty much on your own with no tel in the room if you need it. I wanted to call the police but with no cell signal, no telephone, reception anyway closed all night, was in a difficult situation. Fortunately the thieves didnt return though spent a sleepless night wondering if they would. Unless there is better security I would avoid this place even though the price is good.

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 were in the kitchen and went in your room while you were having dinner.
In case of emergency, there is a duty mobile. If you feel an intruder is in the building you should call the duty mobile or if needs be you can call 999. There is normally network in the bedrooms at Goldsmid House and I apologise that you didn't have any in your bedroom.
Nothing has been reported the following day to the office staff unfortunately.
I apologise for the inconvenience you have experienced while staying at Goldsmid House.

“Absolutely fantastic value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2009

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?
