Very dirty toilets and kitchen!!! Toilets are located in the ground floor hence very far from the top floor. It was overall a very unpleasant stay.

The nights were very loud because we had the room to the courtyard. The nightmanager was obviously not in duty so it was very loud even after 2am. Friendly staff, nice rooms and the free BBQ + pancakes are excellent!

The first room we\'ve got was not not cleaned yet and far away from clean. The kitchen was a mess as well. The location was goos as a subway is near by. The cafe next to the hostel offers pretty good breakfast for valuable prices.

Don't get a room overlooking the courtyard unless you want to be up ALL night with people singing talking etc!!

The hostel is very familiar and the atmosphere is great. The owner was so friendly, but there were some problems with the pick-up from the airport, so that we finally took the shuttle bus home, but we got the money back! The 4dorm room which we booked was not available anymore and we ended up staying in a 6dorm room which was fine as well. Every room has its own bathroom! Just the kitchen area was extremly dirty and many people don't wash the dishes properly.

Great place to stay, right in the middle of King's Cross with easy access to the metro. place was pretty clean, some of the lights were out in the shower, but not a huge deal.

Even though it was a double room with wc, the room was simply disgusting. Not cleaned at all!!! Smashed bug on the floor, no toilet brush in the wc, soap and shower gel from someone else in the shower; sink full of hairs!!! you name it... One of the ladies of the staff was quite arrogant... Also, don't get fooled about the "breakfast included". Here it meant: plain bread and jam; do it yourself and do the washing up next!!! Definitely not recommended.
