the greediest hostel i ever stayed in - no fridge, no kettle, no forks-knives-cups-plates....located right next to cemetry, so if you are a buddhist or don't like to sleep next to dead people, just choose the other hostel

This hostel is dirty and pretty far from London city center. It is right near a metro stop, but the London metro is pretty expensive. Choose a hostel with a better location. The breakfast here was not bad though.

we did a bit of research on the immediate area and found out that it is not very safe as in 1 week you had 3 drive by shootings and on wiki it said that just behind your hostel there was an appropriatly placed cemetery. all in all we found the room to be small dingy the shower smelt rotten and there were several health and saftey issues that need to be investigated. other than we thank you very much good day.

Seemed pretty typical for a hostel, it was very loud though, both traffic outside and people and music downstairs. It would probably be fine for a heavier sleeper or someone who was partying all night, but not so much for me.

The cemetery is beautiful. They've got: Laundry (£4 wash/£1 dry), £1/hr internet access (wifi £3/day), free breakfast, pool & foosball tables. Lively bar until 2:30 AM, but quiet on 2nd floor. Huge VHS selection you're free to watch. Once you leave the tube station (Kensal Green) turn left, and you're there. No curfew, kitchen open til midnight, and a supermarket within walking distance. Having the shower right in the room is a bit weird, but you'll manage.

The place is a ghetto if you are picky. Is kind of far, good breakfast and sex.

I really enjoyed this hostel for its view of the cemetery, it was almost like having a beachfront hotel view, but with less comfortable beds. The soviet-style kitchen was a real treat, with a rusty hob and a fork, spoon, dish, and pot all available for the deposit of my right arm. Alas, this hostel wins its four-star accolade for its urban location, conveniently situated in a ghetto of london. Follow the old adage: You pay for what you get :D Cheers.
