I spent a night on 16th September here. It was much better than I had expected. The beds in the dormitory are comfortable,clean ,well-separated and equipped with reading lamps so I could read at night not disturbing the others in the room.You can have an own locker. The buffet- breakfast was cheap and delicious,the staff was polite and helpful.Everything was clean. In the breakfast-room I met a friendly and intelligent man at my age ( I am 52!!!) which was a very nice surprise in a youth hostel:)))))

I liked that the hostel was in a very good location and the stuff was really helpful and nice. You're getting a welcome drink at the hostel bar the night you're checking in which was really cool and a good way to meet people as a female solo traveler. The hostel is very social with lots of space and common areas to hang out.

Tanja, United States of America

everyone was really nice, able to answer my questions and polite. I've been really feeling at home.

Liz, United Kingdom

Cheap drinks at the bar. Staff were helpful and happy.

Nathan, United Kingdom

Staff friendly and welcoming. Bed was comfy and didn't creak after the initial getting in. Rooms decorated in cool industrial/colourful style. Communal areas clean, spacious and well-equipped.

Lara, United Kingdom

The staff was fantastic! They were very helpful whenever I had a question, and were always around to help.

Rhea, United States of America

The breakfast was amazing! And usually when you get coffee from a vending machine it's just for the caffeine hit, not because you want to enjoy it. But their coffee is great - almost as if it were made by a barista.

눉More plugs in the tv room would be great.
눇There was no view (windows were frosted), there were no 'facilities' in the room. I liked my bunk because it was set apart from the other 10, but I wouldn't have liked being on one of them 5 bunks that were literally all squished together. It's the best hostel I've stayed at in London!!
