the breakfast is really good, you can have fruits and milk and so on...

Vicky, China

The wifi works all around so i'm very confused to why people were saying that the wifi didn't work because that's a lie, either you're device you were trying to connect was broken or you didn't connect it properly. The WI-FI is free!!! And it's very quick i didn't notice it lag once. The reception were very welcoming towards me and I was so happy to see after i went out and came back in security were at the door questioning who comes in and out so i felt safe seeing that. The bar down stairs gave me a free glass of rose wine it was lovely, the atmosphere is pleasant and safe no rowdy "uni kids". The location is great and very easy to get into oxford circus or the main shopping district. Overall I felt safe and my weekend stay was good and affordable. Not to mention they have house keeping!! "maids service" it's basically a hotel with a few other people without the expensive price tag!!!

Alyce, United Kingdom

It's a pretty nice property, very big for a hostel. The beds are good for a hostel, as are the showers. There is a lot of space to store luggage, as well as lockers under the bed.

Christina, United Kingdom

The staff was very toughtful. The rooms were confortable and clean.

Nuno, Portugal

All staff are very nice and helpful. Only 2pounds that i can have a wonderful breakfast.

Tsz, Hong Kong

The cafe area was nice. It gets better night when the music is played.

Hasan, United Kingdom

Staff was very nice and helpfull, we could check-in and check-out any time we liked to and also leave our baggage before and after that in hostel. It take 20ish minutes to get to underground station and you can be in the town in 10 mins. You can meet there people from all over the world and everyone is amazing- if you are travelling alone, this place is perfect for you!

Zuzanna, United Kingdom

The room was comfortable and the breakfast was excellent.

Lu, Germany

The bar down stairs was really good for entertainmentment.

- • Bed in 10-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉I didn't like the fact that the windows in my mixed dorm were open and the drunk people outside were peeking through I asked one of the girls in my room if i could shut the windows and she agreed so happy I did much better. The pillows and duvet covers were very clean and comfortable the mattresses underneath were not so much, i didn't like the stairs to climb up into my bed i had a bunk bed and i was at the top the stairs were painful and hard to walk up and down even in the night when i needed toilet and the toilet was across the hall.
눇The wifi works all around so i'm very confused to why people were saying that the wifi didn't work because that's a lie, either you're device you were trying to connect was broken or you didn't connect it properly. The WI-FI is free!!! And it's very quick i didn't notice it lag once.

눉I was on a top bunk in a cramped dorm at ground level. Traffic noise was an issue, and there was no power, light, or shelf near the bed.
눇Cheap and relatively close to transit options.
