It´s worth it to stay here. The price is good and even though it is 30min. away from the center it is so easy to get to it.

The building is old and run down 50s Russian sort... there is a shower cubicle (phone box like) in each room which is niether hyginic or private. WiFi internet costs £3 a day, use of a fridge is 50p per bag and a safety box is £1.50 a day. ALL EXTRA COSTS.

helpful, nearly english speaking staff. good services. the place looks like bomb hit it inside/out.falling apart.look closely, it is even dirtier than it seems. the place is infested with mice/bugs.noisy at night with people and mice.crowded, busy.showers inside the room are dirty, cause hot damp rooms and are little uncomfortable in mixed gender rooms. breakfast was gross, cheap and served on filthy plates.raise the rates a bit and repaint/scrub clean/exterminate.

Great location right across from the Kensal Green tube station. Nice place to stay with a TV room and a cafe. The room was comfy with a sink and shower, however the blanet was in desperate need of a washing.

There is a bar downstairs that plays really loud music so you can\'t sleep!! the walls were paper thin so you could hear everything in the hostel. the corridors were a bit dingy and the staff were really unhelpful and could hardly speak any english. the location was good as it was next to a tube station but other than that it was a hole. not going back there in a hurry!

Oh My God! This place is worse than haunted! The staff are horrible, rooms could be broken into by a five year old and therefore belongings feel completely insecure. Craziness flows through the halls with unsavory characters glaring around every corner accompanied by vacant stares and evil on their lips. BE WARE!

I liked this hostel overall, except for the inroom showers with no private changing area, and the location was pretty far away from central london. Price was ver good. Make sure you have an oyster card for the tube. There is a supermarket nearby too.
