“ Had to pay extra for the lockers. They charge for every night. Also a 15 bed dorm is not something you want to sleep in if you have important business next day. ”

“ After arriving at the hostel it turned out the beds we were assigned we not cleaned yet (previous person left their bed linnen and all). We were told they would do so in the afternoon, but when we returned around dinner time it was still not cleaned. My boyfriend asked again and was told they would do so in a minute. After asking 3 times, we just did it ourselves because it was 10:30 pm and we wanted to sleep. All in all the staff was not nice and didn't seem to be bothered at all. ”

“ Really had trouble enjoying my stay, bathroom where most of the times dirty, included breakfast was of low quality, and the prices seemed fair before, but after seeing the room and the bathroom it was disappointing. ”

“ The major issue was not with the hostel itself but with the people staying there. Very rude, making noise and turning on the lights at all times at night. Some people also apparently helped themselves in the stuff of others. My slippers went missing, did not know I had to put them in the locker too! Also, the rooms and beds were small, and the showers could use more cleaning up! ”

“ Super close to the next underground station and the British Museum. 20min walk to Oxford Street. The price was alright but to use the lockers or store your luggage, you have to pay extra per day. Breakfast is included and is good with some cereals, "juices" (more sweet stuff than juice), toast and spreads. The showers are like in a gym hall with lockers outside and rows of tiny showers that splash all over your head but not body. Beds are three-level bunk beds with curtains.Room smelled of feet. ”
