Reviews for Goodwood Hotel
Review 1：I found the room cold in the morning. With temperatures dropping now that would be a concern. No other concerns.
Review 2：Location was very good for my stay. Easy to find. Lovely big room. Friendly staff.
Review 3：Nothing
Review 4：The staff were friendly and attentive and they made sure we were happy and well catered for. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, being cooked to order and served hot. The room was clean, well presented and usual supplies of tea/coffee and toiletries were well stocked and replaced.
Review 5：As previous reviewers have said, I do not consider this to be a 4* hotel, but a 2* B&B. The carpet in my room was an old brown floral one which did not look very clean; the floor boards were squeaky; the bed was not comfortable, mattress was not firm, the springs could be felt; there was a bedside lamp but no bedside table, so I had to put the lamp on the chair. There was an ongoing leak under the WHB which caused the bathroom to smell damp and mouldy. I could not get hot water from the shower on my arrival that night and there was no receptionist or way of contacting anyone to help me with this. Breakfast time of 8-10 am could've been a bit more flexible for New Years morning.
Review 6：I liked the location because it was close to the venue I was attending and it was in a quiet location, where I felt safe as a solo female. The availability of off road parking ( even thought this was a tight squeeze) is also good. Booking in and out was simple. I did not have the breakfast so can't comment on its quality. It served its purpose as a last minute booking.
Review 7：The beds were uncomfortable and there was no lamp or light by the bed to switch off from the bed. The breakfast was the least creative we have ever encountered in a hotel!!
Review 8：The fact that it was very near to our daughters home.
Review 9：The amount of stairs to reach the dining room, and then back up to room - three flights. The so called bath/shower towels were more like hand towels. The sink plug was broken, and you could here the showers going in the adjoining rooms. Very disappointing!!
Review 10：Convenience of location
Review 11：Breakfast served too late for early starters. Interaction with staff was good, however as I had no real issue or problem to resolve and I didn't always know where they were I have marked it down slightly.
Review 12：Easy comfortable walk to the trains station. Comfortable bed.
Review 13：Leaving for home.
Review 14：Been here for the 2nd time and just like the 1st time it felt like "home away from home". Staff is very friendly and efficient. Private parking space available and the GWhotel is well located for trips to Central London or Kent.
Review 15：As this is probably the only hotel in Beckenham it could be a little bit better. Rooms dated and just not good enough. Need to spend some money on the rooms. The reception area is very underwhelming. Staff are lovely though.
Review 16：The room i stopped in was facing the road it was very noisy from traffic even in the early hours. Also the room walls are thin you can hear ebverthing fron adjoining rooms.
Review 17：Easy to find
Review 18：No reception area, old fashioned decor, photos online were misleading and I think the 4 star rating that was given on the website is misleading. Very noisy, got woken up my people coming into rooms late in the same floor. Had to hunt for someone to hand keys in to check out. Tea and coffee sachets in the room were moist which was off putting! Not worth the £75 charge.
Review 19：Proximity to Beckenham
Review 20：We chose this purely because we were attending a nearby function and were expecting a hotel as per the name but it was disappointing for the price. There was a smell of smoking coming from bathroom ventilator, paper thin walls between rooms, no hair drier or toiletries, one tiny rubbish bin in bathroom, the new double glazing has ineffective noise insulation,window locks don't work, missing curtain tie backs, very flimsy curtains. No real hotel facilities-its just a guest house. Quite expensive for what it is -you can get a good west end hotel on a deal for only about £20 more.
Review 21：good breakfast with plenty of choice reasonable size room (triple tho) reasonably clean room
Review 22：Unfriendly staff. There is no hair dryer in the room. Not prepared to receive a baby/toddler. They only have 1 cot and expected us to have brought the sheets for it... No reception No sitting room on the ground floor. No lift Unclean bathroom Toiletries bought in the 1 pound store...
Review 23：The location was convenient for us at the time. It is located in the outskirts of London.
Review 24：In my room, No.13, there were paint marks on the curtains, as tho' they had not been removed for painting, or had been put back before the paint was dry. Also, the curtains were not properly hung. The first ring should be before the wall fixing so that the curtain does not shoot across the rail when it is drawn.. I also noticed that one of the chairs in the dining room had paint marks on the wooden back. It's little things like this that make a difference. It would have been nice to get the BBC programmes on the television, especially the news & weather. But I guess that most of the residents would not be interested.
Review 25：Disappointed that there seemed little concern over an item I inadvertently left behind. "We get so many things; it has probably been thrown in the bin." There was a promise to 'ask the girls on Monday' but somehow I don't hold out much hope.
Review 26：Traffic noise in the morning hours, the curtains let too much light in for my taste, if you are used to sleep in the dark better bring a blindfold. The lid of the bathroom bin was broken (minor detail).
Review 27：Charming old building, literally 5 minutes away from Beckham Junction station (20 mins till Victoria). Very nicely decorated room, everything was super clean, breakfast cooked on the moment.
Review 28：The room was very basic. A good coat of paint, new curtains, bed linen and towels would easily make the room much more inviting and comfortable.
Review 29：The staff were all lovely. Helpful and welcoming
Review 30：Breakfast was disappointing Climbing the stairs to the top floor!
Review 31：The property is well situated The room was large and comfortable with a nice bathroom
Review 32：A good, clean, quiet, friendly B&B, close to railway station (2-5mins walk) and with plenty of on-site parking. Breakfast was freshly prepared and adequate, with a reasonable choice of cereals etc. We found the beds to be very comfortable, and the ensuite toilet, shower of a decent size.
Review 33：Everyone was most helpful Local Information was given about transport, shops etc readily and we were made most welcome. We would stay again if we were in the area.
Review 34：We booked 3 double rooms and one twin bedded room. The twin bedded room was extremely tiny with no drawers and only a narrow wardrobe - it was spotlessly clean but not recommended for a long stay.
Review 35：We booked 4 rooms for our party of friends and all rooms were spotlessly clean even though basic - the double rooms are a good size. The lovely ladies who prepared breakfast cooked as little or as much food as required and it was enjoyed by all.
Review 36：Worst hotel and customer service everyone in our group has ever experienced. The staff member we dealt with was consistently very nasty, rude and unprofessional. Builders were using the parking lot, taking up multiple spaces with two large vehicles, and the woman working at the hotel told us we could not use the available space because her friend would need it later. She suggested we park illegally in front of the builders truck and move our car before 7:30 am. She was totally rude and dismissive and made us so uncomfortable we discussed the possibility that the "hotel" was just a front for a criminal operation. She was rude and unwelcoming at check in, the beds were lumpy, rooms dirty, loud builder guests smoking in the front. We cancelled our upcoming stay. Would not recommend to my worst enemy. What would have been a two star became negative star review due to appalling staff member, who by the way was wearing sweat pants.
Review 37：The location was acceptable for our needs.
Review 38：There was damp in the bathroom and the toilet seat was broken. There was a lot of dust in the bathroom too. There needed to be more clear direction of what to do at breakfast, with regards to what was on offer and did you ask or was there table service.
Review 39：The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Hotel was within walking distance of the town.
Review 40：There does not appear to be any soundproofing! We were on the first floor and heard both our adjoining rooms and upstairs neighbours every time they moved (or snored!). Very disappointing given the £99 price tag.
Review 41：The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were delightful and very helpful. We asked for and were given an early check in.
Review 42：Car park was disappointing and difficult to enter due to lots of other gusts having vans and not parking consideratly.
Review 43：It was convenient for my visit, stFf very helpful and friendly.
Review 44：Basement room. Strong smell of smoke when people in nearby rooms lit up even though it's supposed to be a no smoking establishment. Walls very thin so very noisy. No towel rail or toilet roll holder in bathroom. Plug didn't fit in wash basin. Couldn't fill kettle up. TV didn't work very well. Could only get BBC1 and a few other random stations. I couldn't open the window because bed was in the way
Review 45：Location
Review 46：Very abrupt lady on reception, Three flights of stairs for pensioners was very unfair, Breakfast from 8-10 on a sunday morning but the lady turns up at 8.10 am with nothing prepared, not even a coffee so we decided to leave instead. no discount whatsoever!
Review 47：Only location, nothing else warrants an answer.
Review 48：No details on local amenities ,very ignorant un helpful foreign lady on reception .
Review 49：The parking was good ,the room was very clean and tidy and well looked after.
Review 50：Rooms 9 and 10 are really extremely basic but expect within the house (rather than the cellar conversions) would be hugely better. Perhaps the price for these could be reduced as they are a bit prison cellish! Perhaps something in the room saying the wifi password?
Review 51：Friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Good location.
Review 52：Small shower problem which was immediately solved by the owner. Airco would be welcome when weather is very hot.
Review 53：Very friendly owners, clean rooms, good basic comfort, perfect for a citytrip, very quiet location which is great after spending a full day in London, train station with regular train to Victoria (only 20min) just around the corner. Good English and continental breakfast.
Review 54：The cooked breakfast consisted of 1 sausage,1 rasher of bacon, 1 fried egg and small portion of baked beans. No hair drier in bedroom. Attitude of staff a little abrupt
Review 55：I was given a basement room which looked out onto a brick wall. Breakfast room was actually a kitchen with a few tables. Walls seemed very thin, and other guests' movements could be heard clearly.
Review 56：Wi-fi worked fine
Review 57：The beds were uncomfortable - the springs could be felt on the surface! The toilet seat was broken and the cover kept falling off (a small irritation, but should be easily fixed). The place was filled with some type of perfume (possibly to cover up a moldy smell), also perfumed toilet paper, which I personally avoid.
Review 58：The location was quiet and practical, close to the train station. It was very clean and the breakfast was good! The staff was friendly. It was very simple, just the basics. It was nice to be able to make a cup of tea or coffee in the room.
Review 59：The plug in the sink didn't work,so sink filled up with water. An available shampoo would also have been nice
Review 60：Nice people, very nice clean room and good breakfast
Review 61：All good. My single room was a good size tho' the shower room was economical as regards space.
Review 62：Good Location to where I was visiting. It was great for what I was looking for. If in the area again, I would stay there.
Review 63：The smell in the room was either sweat or damp but after half an hour of trying to sleep it we decided to leave without sleeping or breakfast. £85 for nothing - it was more suited to be a £20 a night hostel than an hotel
Review 64：Very small room with nowhere much to put things down. Old damp stains on wall. Nowhere to sit except on bed. Plughole in sink uncovered, so you could see black hole. Parking very tight. Took 10 minutes to wedge myself in.
Review 65：It was an easy walk into town. Pleasant owner.
Review 66：Our room was accessable from outside so we didn't have to bother other guests when we arrived later in the evening. Very clean room and friendly staff.
Review 67：I was like clays I was there at a weekend but the hotel has a very small car park and the on street parking is quite expensive so this would be a problem for midweek guests.
Review 68：Location was convenient for what I wanted. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and was excellent
Review 69：The hotel is a 5 minute walk from Beckenham Junction station with lots of shops and places to eat nearby. The rooms are comfortable andclean. You have a key to the main door so that you can come and go as you please.
Review 70：Hopefully this was in the course of being fixed but there was a persistent smell of drains/sewage in the bathroom.
Review 71：The hotel is located in a leafy, quiet residential road within 3 mins'walk of Beckenham Junction station from hich there are regular train services to London Victoria (19 mins), London Bridge, Thameslink an stations in Kent via Bromley South. Room was clean and nice breakfast (buffet with cooked breakfast options to order). The staff were friendly and helpful.
Review 72：Missed not having a dustbin in the room used the one in the bathroom instead
Review 73：Stayed 1 Saturday night. Comfortable beds and plenty of fresh, clean towels. Soap and shower gel a welcome plus. Will stay again, slept peacefully and considered this hotel value for money
Review 74：Toilet sink was tiny and made having a shave difficult. This isn't for people who need comfort. No kettle. You can hear a lot of creaking from the people moving about above.
Review 75：Booked this because of the cheap price. I only needed somewhere to get my head down for the night before running the London Marathon. No frills but it did the job. I slept okay but I was pretty tired and it's no hassle to get to the start line from here.
Review 76：Only problem I encountered was that they cancelled my room 15 because of mix up with cancellation by my sister in law. But was given room 4 which was bigger and nicer. Could do with new mattresses as the springs were hurting. But overall the place is nice.
Review 77：Hotel Staff very pleasant and made to feel welcome. Breakfast was freshly cooked, but a more variety could be on offer eg Fruit Yogurts..But for myself bacan eggs toast beans coffee/tea was just fine.
Review 78：Hot water was intermittent at best. No plug for was hand basin. Unable to get hot water for shaving. Shower water temperature varied went from set temperature to cold while under the shower. No heating in room.
Review 79：Convenient location for Crematorium.
Review 80：Room 10 is accessed from outside the main building and didn't feel particularly safe.
Review 81：Rooms were clean, breakfast fresh and cooked properly, staff friendly and accommodating.
Review 82：Unfriendly booking-in process. Room small for price. Room in downstairs annexe, next to breakfast area (which has no natural light). Central heating not working, but compensated for by electric heater. No heating in bathroom. Green safety light very bright at night.
Review 83：Looks good from outside, and no trouble parking. Very close to my destination - 2 miles closer than the next hotel.
Review 84：Only thing was slight drawback is soundproofing in walls in rooms (stayed two different times), but then price was not expensive.
Review 85：Cleanliness was very good, and breakfast (included in price given) was excellent. Breakfast room was in a nicely decorated 'cellar room' with white linen tablecloths and choice of cereal, juice and tea to help oneself and the cooked breakfast, of varied choice, was cooked nicely and served very quickly. Parking space is about 8 to 10 cars (think) but also more room on street (though limited free parking to overnight only there). I had transport but there are two railway stations within walking distance I believe. Was able to use my BT Wi-Fi hotspot.
Review 86：This is a small hotel but we were in a good sized room on the ground floor. The bathroom was very clean but also very small! Beckenham Junction Station is just 5 minutes walk from the hotel; a very frequent train service takes just 20 minutes to reach Victoria Station, right in the heart of London.
Review 87：The bathroom in my room was no bigger than a cupboard, the toilet was squashed so close to the wall that you couldn't use it unless you sat sideways! Im only a slim size 12 and if I had been any larger I don't think that I would of been able to use it at all!
Review 88：The staff at the goodwood are lovely. Very helpful and welcoming.
Review 89：Lots of stairs and a lift would have been helpful. No access to gardens for guests.
Review 90：Good clean room, en suite clean and well maintained. Double bed mattress was a bit lumpy. Girl who checked us in was helpful, she also cleaned our room and cooked us an excellent breakfast - overworked or what. Parking was good too. Will return again.
Review 91：Everything! Lack of being offered wifi. Couldn't find anyone on reception. Having to phone to have the central heating turned on. This was subsequently turned off during the early hours (0200 woke up and was freezing). Pathetic...
Review 92：Leaving the following morning
Review 93：Facilities in room extremely disappointed. Old fashion furniture's very dusty , no shaving mirror in the bathroom. Kettle provide was too big , unable to fill it in the tiny sink. No extra pillows provided , no chairs in the room. Clothes were badly dusted .poor reception .
Review 94：It's location and breakfast
Review 95：One tiny niggle - there was nowhere to plug in my electric razor in the bathroom.
Review 96：Our room was spacious and clean, the staff very courteous and it was handy for Beckenham Junction station, with a direct link to Victoria. Highly recommended!
Review 97：No dislikes.
Review 98：We were visiting family & the location was ideal for us at just a short distance away from them. The staff were very friendly & breakfast was excellent. Our room was comfortable & very clean.
Review 99：Room set up. Hotel not tidy. Creaking floors in bedrooms. Small sink in bathroom. Uninspiring breakfast. Unbuttered toast on requested scrambled egg on toast. One cup of coffee no offer of another cup. Having to go into basement for breakfast. No lift. Felt pressurised to leave as staff requested to clean room at 10am. I was still packing my case for check out at 11 am. Staff not friendly. Would not stay at this hotel again. And would not recommend it.
Review 100：Needed somewhere to stay for a Halloween night out at a venue in South London and luckily someone suggested this place. It was perfect for the occassion - 10 minute taxi ride to the venue. There were even some Halloween party goers dressed in drag staying at the Hotel and the staff had no problem with that - in fact they thought it was a bit of a laugh! Great breakfast. 5 min walk to Beckenham Junction station which is 20 minutes by train to London Victoria. Convenient for anyone needing easy access to London from the South.
Review 101：No offer to help with bags on the stairs.
Review 102：Good budget hotel near London. Room was fine and a nice breakfast. If you want the Ritz then this isn't for you but you get what you pay for and I thought this hotel was fine.
Review 103：No lift in building and narrow stairs so difficult to get heavy bags to room.
Review 104：Friendly staff. Clean rooms, peaceful area. Excellent breakfast cooked by owners. Free Wi-Fi in rooms.
Review 105：At time of booking, I asked not to be allotted a basement room; yet I got a basement room and after protest, I got a below garden level room which was shabbily decorated with no hair dryer, no chair and no tissue (only toilet paper), not to mention fridge or safe. The two single beds were uncomfortable and worst, an anti burglary siren of a nearby house went off for about 20 minutes before 5 am. Parking in front of the hotel is dreadful. If this were a 4-star hotel. all Holiday Inn Express would be 6-star hotels!
Review 106：If anything, it was the cooking of breakfast in front of you in the breakfast room and food was served hot.
Review 107：There is no service at this place no lounge no bar no nothing. The full English breakfast was cheap cornflakes that tasted like cardboard. A rasher of bacon 1 egg 1 sausage and a few lukewarm beans. we had to set the table brew our own drinks if you just want a bed for the night its ok anything more don't bother.
Review 108：Location Handy for train and also for bus services Room was very clean
Review 109：Bedside lamp not working. Shower barely warm but room was warm so I survived! Would have preferred fruit/yoghurt option at breakfast.
Review 110：Really close to the station but in a very quiet tree lined road. Spotlessly clean, spacious room. Smart exterior. Helpful, friendly staff. Lots of hairdryers available at reception, just had to ask! Low price for the quality, an inexpensive way of staying in London as only 20 minutes from Victoria. Nice breakfast.
Review 111：Bathroom fan very noisey,TV not movable,no hair dryer very minor points would defitnely not put off going again
Review 112：Excellent hosts very freindly,location is spot on quite,leafy road yet two minute walk to station,very clean,warm,family feel not commercial,very good value,amazing breakfast,plenty of choice
Review 113：Welcome on arrival poor. No information pack in room or instructions incase of fire. kettle not boil properly. Room near reception, had to use main curtains all time as No net curtain to window for some privacy while in your room as your visible from the outside & as ensuite is too small to dry oneself or dress in,( as is packed into a small walk in wardrobe style room) with a deep step to enter into. Had to use laptop on bed as no table or work top
Review 114：Room clean & tidy. Parking on site available. Breakfast cooked fresh. & enjoyable, with cereal options , and tea, coffee to help yourself.
Review 115：Sometimes bad wi-fi/TV connections. No hairdryer in the room. No electric plugs close to a mirror. Would have appreciated a small bottle of drinking water in the room upon arrival.
Review 116：Very comfortable and nice rooms. Good beds and modern bathroom. Nice staff. Calm and silent location, just a short walk from the village and the railway station. Very nice restaurants in the village. Good connections to London by train.
Review 117：The only issue was that this time I got a room in a basement which was very badly maintained. Walls were soaked from water with fungus develop ping on it. Further more there was a lot of noise and smell in the middle of the night from guests that stayed smoking in front of the door.
Review 118：I still like the location and hotel.
Review 119：Green Fire Exit light inside room so it was never completely dark. No manned reception otherwise may have booked another week. Breakfast not served early enough 7.30 too late for commuting to London City.
Review 120：Decorated and Furnished to a high Standard. Room was very Quiet and had new Sash Windows so very Airy. Bed was very comfortable and shower very spacious. Very convenient location for Train Station
Review 121：Room was tiny. Sheets did not look clean. No facilities in the room. Bathroom was not cleaned properly.
Review 122：Proximity to station and Beckenham town centre. Free parking.
Review 123：One warning to potential guests, there are a lot of stairs if you have mobility problems.
Review 124：Everywhere was clean, the bed comfortable, the decor a little dated, but that only added to the atmosphere of the type of hotel it is; unpretentious, cosy and easy-going. The breakfast was filling, the staff always helpful, the ensuite was good. Omportantly for that area, there is decent parking. Conveniently situated, it was a perfect base for a great weekend.
Review 125：Asked for ground floor when booked. Stairs where not stated on advert. Stairs up to room and down to breakfast room. No plug in wash basin. Toilet seat unsafe. Could not get kettle under to fill. No waste bin in room No phone. Definitely basic!
Review 126：Breakfast was OK.
Review 127：A bit bigger washbasin would have been appreciated, as more space in the bathroom for putting things. I was alone, for three people it may become a nightmare.
Review 128：I had a familly room, so no idea about the others. But room was ok.
Review 129：I had a room downstairs this time next to the breakfast room. The problem was that the walls between the rooms were very thin and you could hear everything. This meant not only being disturbed by noises from adjoining rooms but you had to be extra careful not to make any noise yourself. On a previous visit I had a very pleasant room on the first floor where there were no such noise problems.
Review 130：Staff were excellent - friendly & helpful. Breakfast was good.
Review 131：A larger bed would have been welcome, its quite usual to find king size beds in hotels now.
Review 132：The welcome and friendliness we were made to feel very much at home. Freshly cooked breakfast and plenty of choice, its so nice to stay in a hotel where breakfast isn't a hot buffet.
Review 133：Damp above bed head. No shaver point! No bedside table or lamps. Had to boil kettle on floor! TV useless, reception kept freezing and disappearing. Mirror fell off wall. Sink plug jammed with water in and would not release. Had to go out of room and around outside of building to go into main entrance to breakfast room which was down stairs with no windows. No door on toilet cubicle in shower room!
Review 134：Locality. Bed comfortable. Shower hot.
Review 135：I had a room in the basement which was under the main hallway and was very noisy with people bouncing up and down stairs.
Review 136：Good location. Friendly staff. I will book this hotel again but not the basement room under main hallway.
Review 137：The floor in the room was very creaky.
Review 138：Staff were friendly, breakfast very good. When we came in at 9.30 the car park was full and parking outside was by permit. The owner moved his car out of the car park so that we could come in, which was very good of him. Lovely garden at the back which our room overlooked.
