The location is fantastic. It's barely a 5-minute walk to Kings Cross/St Pancras. Price is great. You get to spend most of your money on entertainment instead of a room. Staff are wonderful. I left my phone on a coach and the front desk, Dimitri I believe, allowed me to make a call to help collect it. They are all friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We booked a tour at the front desk and made it to the location without a problem. The vast majority of your fellow travelers are friendly. You also get access to the Clink78 basement bar a few minutes away. The Clink261 basement has a TV with DVD player and nice couches/chairs to relax on. It also has plenty of outlets for charging devices. Also, the beds had an electrical outlet at the head part, two USB slots, and a light. The showers have actual temperature controls instead of dodgy ones at other hostels that come out too hot/cold or the temperature surges uncomfortably between the two extremes.

“Great location, but several flaws”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 3 nights

My 4 bedroom dorm was really small (so small that the bunk bed was attached to the sink, so no way to use it standing in front of a mirror). Only one men bathroom with only two showers and one toilet on three floors: seriously? Also, the bathroom had a constant smell of fungus, which I don't understand since the cleaning staff was keeping it clean.
The cleaning and breakfast room staff was always smiling and nice. The breakfast for £4 is pretty rich. The location is perfect, 5 minutes from King's Cross and St Pancras station, so you can take the tube to everywhere, lot of buses and you are easily connected with the airports.

Kitchen opens at 1 PM, if you can pay for breakfast or have it outside. Not a big deal, since I was out most of the day. The cleanliness of the bathrooms can be improved.
This hostel is an incredible value. Few minutes away from King's Cross and St Pancras, comfy beds, and great social areas. Staff at the reception were syper friendly, every one of them! I stayed in a 10-bed room and was expecting it to be cramped, but the space was adequate (roomates and I didn't have huge bags, I suppose).

Bathrooms werent really clean (it depends on time and floor). Women shower on 1. Floor was smelly and it was little dirty. If you are sensitive about cleanliness than it might bother you a lot. Room inbetween beds is pretty small
Location is great, 30 min away from camden street and oxford street (center). Its also great for harry potter fans, because its near kings cross station, where is 9 3/4 shop and you can take a picture with hp trolly, with scarf and wand. Host were very nice and strict to someone who wasn’t polite (what was nice and makes you feel safe). Beds are comfy!
