    The bunk beds are not very tall if you’re sleeping in the bottom bunk mind your head. The room was not the cleanest when I arrived, but it was not that bad either.

    In front of the Hendon Central Underground station which is good (take into consideration Central London is 30mins away). The staff was nice.

    The hostel was a bit smelly, especially in bedrooms, but we got used to it, so it was not that annoying. It was also small, especially dinnig room and kitchen.

    The hostel itself was cosy, the location near the metro was really useful and the people in hostel were really friendly. Kitchen in hostel was a big plus. Receptionist Nelly was friendly and very helpful.

    The showers were our main qualm. They are button operated showers. Usually, when the button is pressed the shower will run for a short time. However, the shower I used, the button had to be continually depressed or else it would immediately stop. This made it hard to shower. Some of the kitchen cannot be used during breakfast time. Rubbish collection can be a bit late for those going to sleep early.

    Loved the decor! There were maps of London as the wallpaper, as well as a plant wall, which is absolutely stunning. Every member of staff we encountered was super friendly. It was super easy to store luggage before check in and after check out, which was such a blessing for us. The luggage crates in the room are also quite large, so we were able to fit all our luggage in, which is something we couldn’t do at Smart Hyde Park Inn. The bunks have an excellent shelf, which has plenty of charging opportunities and a light. Essentially, the room is well-equipped. We enjoyed being a bit further out from the city centre, as it was a bit quieter, but still easy to get in using the metro and buses.

    The pillow has no volume and doesn't feel like you are sleeping on one and couldn't get a good night rest. It doesn't cost much to invest into new better pillows.

    Happy to see Nelly again at the reception desk. Shes really friendly and has always been helpful!

    The pillows are bit too thin. Shower buttons have to be constantly pressed and the water isn’t that warm, which makes winter months more tough. The tap water can be warmer too.

    It’s the third time I’m staying in this hostel. The atmosphere is homey and cozy, beds are reasonably sized, sheets are well prepared and clean, they have updated their hairdryer (the new one is stronger), kitchen is well equipped. Staff is nice. Big compliments to their all-you-can-eat breakfast which costs £3, while you can expect having your stomach well filled with toasts, boiled eggs, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, butter, Nutella, jam, cheese, yoghurt, oats, corn flakes, milk, teabags, chocolate powder, coffee powder, and hot water. This is a great deal in London.

    The shared toilet must be bigger and have more mirrors. The showers and the water from the tap needs to be hotter and the bath water should be left on for longer, it doesn't make sense to have a timer button.

    The attendances are so helpful and opened to understand the necessity of the guests. The breakfast was worth every penny per 3 pounds. Too close from the underground is a great point because the accommodation is 40 minutes from the center where there are tourist attractions

    Very cold hostel. The heating is not turned on. there is no place to place things in the rooms at all. The staff is not responsible for your belongings, so if you leave something in the wrong place, they just throw it away! There is no breakfast either.

    That the communal area shuts at 1am it should always be open if it's the only area we can chill in after hours

    That fact that there is a communal area. However they need a new pool table!! or they need to get the one they have restored!! Come on guys?? the cues need to be replaced with new ones.. apart from that I'm was happy overall.

    It was really far away from the city core and attractions (35 min minimum by tube). The beds are not properly private. One night, I slept on a bed with no curtains on my back, facing another bed on the open.

    The staff was amazing, very helpful and kind.

    * If the kitchen was open before 8 AM, that would be great.

    * The location of the hostel wasn't that bad at all. You've got the metro station just 2 mins away, bus stop is also close by. * On a short bus ride, you can go shopping for groceries at Tesco superstore which is very affordable, especially for budget travelers, just like me. * There was a fully equipped kitchen on site, which was nice for everyone who wanted to cook or heat some food. The room for 15 which I booked was spacious & nice. * Every bed was equipped with its own lighting, USB outlet, regular UK outlet & place to put your belongings as well as a storage place under the beds, which you can lock in order to secure your items. * The staff was very polite & helpful during my stay.
