It was great for the price, not too central, but the Metro is literally right in front of the door, so you just have to be sure to make it back by midnight when it stops running. It was clean, friendly, and pleasant. A great deal for the money, would absolutely stay again.

this was the very worst experience staying at a hostel, everything was dirty, and I mean filthy sick-disgusting. There was no air movement, let alone air-conditioning. The common areas were filthy smelly, and our roommate was held up at knifepoint the night before and robbed.

El hostel está muy alejado. Lo único que tiene de bueno en cuanto a su ubicación es que está frente a una estación de metro (kensal green) Pero no queda otra opción más que moverse con el metro.

Altogether the hostel was ok. It's located nearby a tube station, which is a plus. People were mostly friendly and my roommates were superb! Will stay another time.

Only stayed for one night - but enjoyed it. Good location near kensal green tube/bus services - friendly and helpful staff and clean rooms/beds. Would recomend it to anyone.

I didn't feel safe in this hostel at all! Though close to the tube, it was pretty far away from all the main attractions. The money we saved on a cheap hostel we made up in metro fares! Not a hostel I would recommend.

What a hole, rooms smelled the whole night, beds squeaked by every little moving. I wouldn\'t recommend, although its cheap there is much better value for money.
