The hostel is conveniently located, within walking distance to theaters, museums and many tourist attraction sites. Will recommend to others.

This was cheap and cheerful. Excellent value for money stay in a set of bunk beds with en-suite for less £100 in the centre of London near tube station and walking distance to all the attractions. Thank you

Standard dorm
Hostels always appear on my searches, so thought I'd hive one a go. It's what you would expect from a hostel, toilet and shower shared between the 9 of us in the dorm. Ladder up maybe could be better, lockers where very large, could do with some more hooks for towels (don't forget to bring your own) and better shoe storage. No food allowed in the room, although some ignored that. Note that it's age restricted to 18-45 years old only.

Great
It was really great. The staff was really nice and it was really inn. The location is the best only 15 minutes by foot to the center amazing ! The only flat was that it was really hot on the room.

Like many other reviewers, I have to complain about the metal drawers at the bottom of the bunk beds. I thought I'd be ok with it because I usually wear earplugs. But those noises are unavoidable unless you put on shooting ear mufflers. I constantly woke up at night due to that noise and wasn't able to sleep well during my 3 day stay there. Although they offered the cheapest price for a great location, I would have picked a different place where I can at least sleep through the night.

Good place to stay in the middle of London.
It was a reasonably priced place to stay for a night or two, right where I needed to be. If you don’t plan on spending time in your lodgings, then this is a good choice as a place to sleep and store your belongings. I was in an 8 room dorm en suit, so my experience was dependent on my roommates, which was mostly ok. The bathroom shower/sink/toilet were clean, and there was an additional sink in room. The locker fit my stupidly overflowing suitcase, and the bunk was comfy enough. The only issue was the room itself was stifling with no airflow, which made the bunk feel claustrophobic and hot, despite there being a weak fan to circulate air by the bathroom. I imagine that’s not an issue during other times of the year. If you run hot when you sleep, bring a small usb fan, I wish I did lol. Keep in mind there’s no lift. That’s not a complaint, just a reminder. I was assigned to a dorm four flights up and have a bad knee, so that sucked. It didn’t occur to me to check about stairs beforehand. That’s my fault.

Pongo poca nota, porque cogi una toalla para ducharme y el precio era 1,5 libras y ahora mirando la cuenta me han cobrado 2,5 libras, las literas son triples y me toco en el medio y me costaba entrar, de los bajitas y pequeñas que son, los labavos las tazas estaban muy sucios llenos de orinas. Lo mejor que esta muy centrico y tienes el metro al lado.

An sich gut gelegen und schön ruhig. Das Zimmer jedoch viel zu klein, dass der koffer ins Zimmer gepasst hat war auch alles. Das eigene Bad viel zu klein und die Wasserlwitung innden dritten Stock hatte auch keinen Druck mehr, so dass wir die Gemeinschaftsduschen nutzen mussten. Matratzrn durchgelegen und unterm Bed lag noch die Unterwäsche der vorherigen Besucherin. Frühstück war okay. Personal super freundlich und Hilfsbereit.

Praktisk og sentralt i London
Veldig praktisk hotell når ein skal overantta i London. Det er også greitt med gangavstand til Kings Cross og undergrunner er dessutan rett rundt hjørnet. Det er også veldig potitivt med eit fortrekk som gjer at ein kan sova i fred.

Private Twin Dorm
Ficámos numa private twin dorm e foi muito bom. Alguns problemas com a água para tomar banho, mas nada impossível, há balneário caso necessário. Pequeno almoço é suficiente e bom. Staff simpático e bom ambiente. O hostel está muito bem localizado! Aconselho imenso principalmente pela localização e segurança da zona!
