    The beds were really close together, which was a little awkward at first. Showers had a knob you had to press every 30 seconds to keep the water going, which was annoying when trying to take a shower.

    Good location, privacy partitions on beds. Lights and USB ports on every bed. Workers were nice. Very clean.

    The lockers were very small and awkward to open. The beds were very close together, which made it a little awkward to sleep sometimes, as it felt like sharing a big bed with some partitions. The small lockers and many beds made it look very clustered.

    Good location, nice staff, has a kitchen.

    “Good hostel in a perfect location”
    • • Business trip
    • • Solo traveller
    • • Stayed 3 nights

    The facility seems to be especially attractive for school groups and it is difficult to say anything to these teenagers who either do not speak English enough or cluster in groups and just laugh it off. They do not have proper travel etiquette. Also, the access to the dining area was closed after 10 am and although you can store items in the fridge in the kitchen it is difficult to enjoy any food after 10 am, even if the food is your own.

    The room was big enough for 12 people and the bed was comfortable. Each bed having an individual light was great too. Location of the hostel is great, you can walk to Islington or Kings Cross.

      The beds were really close together, which was a little awkward at first. Showers had a knob you had to press every 30 seconds to keep the water going, which was annoying when trying to take a shower.

      The lockers were very small and awkward to open. The beds were very close together, which made it a little awkward to sleep sometimes, as it felt like sharing a big bed with some partitions. The small lockers and many beds made it look very clustered.

      Good location, nice staff, has a kitchen.

      • • Business trip

      The facility seems to be especially attractive for school groups and it is difficult to say anything to these teenagers who either do not speak English enough or cluster in groups and just laugh it off. They do not have proper travel etiquette. Also, the access to the dining area was closed after 10 am and although you can store items in the fridge in the kitchen it is difficult to enjoy any food after 10 am, even if the food is your own.

      The room was big enough for 12 people and the bed was comfortable. Each bed having an individual light was great too. Location of the hostel is great, you can walk to Islington or Kings Cross.
