Very basic, just bed and shower. A plus is a fridge in the room. Good value for the money. If saving money is your primary consideration then go for it. Mainly used by long term stayers and regulars. Andrej, from Slovenia ~ 1st Nov 2009

The hostel is extremely clean-bathrooms,toilets etc. I stayed in many hostels all over the world and this kind of cleansiness is hard to find. The rooms are O.K it`s good for long stays not so much the party and meeting peaople hostel. Earl`s court station is just around the corner so a good connection to almost any part of the city.

There was a dead mouse in my dorm and cockroaches. No fun. Rosalind, from England ~ 2nd Oct 2009

Be aware they require a 15 pound deposit (in cash) -- very annoying they don't make this clear before arrival. If you select the absolute cheapest rooms, you'll be with long-term boarders -- so televisions will be on, the room will smell heavily of food, and it will be really cluttered (not much space for your own stuff). Otherwise, location is great. Jean, from USA ~ 5th Oct 2009

Good location, clean hostel, rather cheap. Unfortunately there is nothing in the kitchen. I would recommend it anyway. Beatrice, from France ~ 4th Aug 2009

My problem with the hostel was that I was put into a room in a different building. The room (4 person) seemed kind of out of the way and it made it hard to meet new people. The bed, bathroom and shower was fine, but I can't really comment about hte hostel. David, from USA ~ 21st Jul 2009

Excellent location. Basic accomodation. Staff friendly. Not so bad, just simple. Ramon, from Italy ~ 21st Jul 2009

This hostel was one of the worst I've visited. The staff are extremely unhelpful, and the line at reception was always 15-20 minutes. Moreover, they really don't provide anything at all besides the bed...they don't lend out basic cutlery, for example. Finally, there is very little security...the front door is always open, and you can walk straight in and into the facility. Only stay here if it's the only open hostel. There are better hostels at the same price in London. Read Owner Comments Will, from USA ~ 4th Jul 2009

I was lucky enough to be put in the annex building. It felt like I was squating in an abandon hotel. Paint peeling of the walls and nobody to be seen. Front desk staff was useless, couldn't even tell me where to find the shower. It was very clean though, they had a small army of dedicated cleaning crew. Jason, from USA ~ 30th Jun 2009
