What's a good workout? Well, if your workout is intense, if it challenges you, pushes your limits and excites you till the end, then it is a good workout.
Yes, intense workouts are better than normal workouts. They offer better results. Even 20 minutes of intense workouts only thrice a week give better results than 60 minutes of workouts 7 times a week.

Appetite
Do you feel like eating something soon after you step out of the gym? That's a sign that you had done well in the gym. Eat within 20-25 minutes. Your body will make good use of the food as fuel. Also, muscle recovery needs nutrients.
Sleep

Muscles
Did your muscles swell? When you lift heavy weights or do any intense workout, more blood is pumped into your muscles. More blood brings more nutrients and oxygen. So, they bulge temporarily. For a few hours, you tend to look bigger. That's a sign you have done well.
Feel Good
Do you feel good for no reason after stepping out of the gym? Its a sign that you had a good workout. It releases endorphins which make you feel euphoric.
Last Rep
During your workout, was the last repetition tough? It is a sign that your workout went intense.
Heart Rate
