  • Great hostel. My boyfriend and I stayed there while we were in London. I don't know about the dorm style beds, but the single room bed was my the most comfortable bed we slept in while in Europe. Staff was very helpful, loved having free Wi-Fi. The only down-side was the very narrow halls and stair cases.

  • That was probably the worst hostel I have ever been to. People always seemed to be doing a favor for you and the atmosphere was even worst. Not to mention that you don't have a single place for you to be quiet or just to sit and relax. Cleanliness? Not worthy mentioning it. Overall the only good thing about the hostel was it's location (next to King's Cross Station and next to a Be At One Pub so you can go back drunk to pretend like you don't give a damn).

  • Great place ! The staff is very friendly. The breakfast is amazing. It's just a little noisy when you sleep near to the kitchen.

  • The issue with this hostel is that it has an excesive number of bed compared to its facilities (bathrooms, showers and room size). The room I got had 17 beds in 3 level bunkers, lockers were outside the room and impractical. So everybody put their luggage on the floor between the bunkers, consecuently the room was a big mess and very difficult to walk. For 3 or 4 rooms in the basement, there were only 2 toilets and 2 showers available, so it was not rare to find them dirty. Location was good.

  • The guy on the front desk when I checked in was super friendly (David I think?) and very helpful.

  • The hostel is very central and I liked the staff very much, as they are pretty nice and helpful. The room was a bit to small for six people and it was pretty noisy. But the biggest problem was the heat all day. We had a window but I've heard a lot haven't. Also the ventilator was on all night without it was definitely too hot. The people on the hostel were pretty nice and the breakfast was great, as there were cornflakes, toast, as well as juice, water and milk. It was a pleasent stay.

  • Thin walls, so it can be very noisy at night depending on your neighbours.

  • No lockers, or really very much space to put your stuff anywhere. Luckily the rooms weren't too full. Breakfast was good and worth the little extra for the convenience of having it provided.
