78 Kings Cross Road, Islington, London, WC1X 9QG, United Kingdom – Great location - show map

Very close to Kings Cross station so it's great to catch the tube. Staff we're very nice.

Carol

Prices were amazing. Cheapest hostel I've ever stayed in. Also massive!

Ben

I really liked that the beds had some kind of cover, which means you get some privacy. The bar downstairs is exceptional, a lot of friendly people were there. It was only a 7-10 min. walk away from King's Cross station, there's a Sainsbury's store like 5 min. of walking. The kitchen has a lot of cutlery and lots of plates, the TV room is really cool, the game room is unique! The showers are REALLY clean and relatively spacious! I mean, I doubt there's any better hostel for this price!

Everything else. Great value for price. Clean, quiet, safe, great position and, veeeeery important, in a good neighborhood and without drugs (rare for London).

The location is great, staff always friendly and there is great activities for younger travelers. The price is really cheap compared to the location. I've stayed here three times already, so that should tell that I can warmly recommend the place.

Good quality for a London hostel, it was clean and spacious enough. Free coffee in the morning and the staff were helpful. Nice shower.

Kristopher

The location. Staff are so helpful and always ready to help. Value for money. The breakfast is also reasonable. But there are many near by places to eat if you like. Bus stop is just outside. Tube station is not very far 15 mins walking.
