Very unsafe area and u shouldn't allow people who r not in the hostel to go in the internet area.

Very friendly and helpful staff when I arrived exhausted an half asleep at 3 o'clock in the night (morning). Too hot in the room, and the fan a bit noisy, but better with fan than without.

Good all around. Accessible and accomidating. I think that it is a fairly new hostel and was nicely done.

They got an average on cleanliness because the first night my sheets hadn't been changed since the last person. Also staff was very good except the eastern European guy. Otherwise very nice hostel.

The neighborhood at night looks a bit isolated. The staff was very helpful, especially the manager. Funny bit: the blonde girl working there at night shift was a bit drunk when we met her at 6am when we were checking out. Beware of the internet connection: I dont really know if it was the hostel's problem or the ISP's. The speed was F***ing slow! 7 minutes to load google! and it was a bit expensive. Very good cleanliness.

A lot of problems with the keys and the staff just doesn't care about the clients. They lied to me to get rid of me and my needs. A big big deception.

A good hostel at a reasonable rate. Pretty easy to find and close to a tube station. Since the hostel is on top of a bar, coming home at night after the bar closes (11:15PM) can be intimidating since there can be quite a few drunk young Brits hanging around the entrance to the hostel and can potentially harass you. You can either just joke around with them until the staff let you in (need to ring buzzer) or come back to the hostel before the bar closes.

Staff unhelpful, which spoilt an otherwise good hostel.
