Visitors#

The College management is happy for Members to invite friends, family and colleagues to visit. For everyone’s safety and security, you must meet your guest(s) at your House Reception, sign them into the visitors’ book, and escort them from the building when they depart.

With regard to overnight visitors, the maximum length of time a visitor may stay with a Member, in a room or flat, is two weeks ( 14 days). Members may host only one visitor for an overnight stay in a single room. There is no charge for having overnight visitors, who must be 18 years or older, but you are asked to hire a camp bed for them, costing £5 per night. Please apply to the Registrar or the Deputy Registrar if you wish to host a younger visitor, for example, a close family member.

Key Authorisation#

Members wishing to have a visitor should submit their request via Portal. You should do this at least 48 hours before they arrive. A spare key card will be issued by Reception after the request for a key has been approved by the House Administrators. For security reasons, all guests have to be signed in with Reception. A friend/guest arriving at Reception already in possession of a Goodcard will be refused entry.

Key authorisation is only done while you are at the College. If you are away from the College and would like a friend or relative to stay in your room in your absence, you should submit a sublet form on the Portal and the College will issue a temporary card.

Camp Beds#

A campbed is a comfortable folding bed with a mattress, supplied with a duvet, pillow, bedsheet, pillowcase and duvet cover. The bed is delivered to your room and removed at the end of the booking.

Camp beds must be booked at least 24 hours in advance from the housekeeping, by emailing housekeeping@goodenough.ac.uk and stating the start and end date of rental, as well as your room number. Pre-booking in advance offers a greater chance of availability. Camp beds can be requested outside office hours and during weekends from the Reception teams if you have an unannounced guest, subject to availability. Please be aware that these bookings cover rental for one night only. If you book directly with Reception, and you wish to extend your bed ghire, you well need to contact Housekeeping the next day. Again, this is subject to availability.

Camp beds can be hired by Members only. They cost $1:$2$3 night, and will be delivered to your room on the day requested. On the day of removal, the bed will be removed from your room. Please don’t leave your campbed in the corridor. The campbed is signed out to you and if it goes missing from the corridor you will be charged the cost of replacement $(£ 250)$. A campbed in the hallway is also a trip hazard. All bed linen must be returned with the bed. Failure to return the camp bed and linen on time will result in additional hire charges being incurred.
