to get started.

Most of the staff th area, the building is magnificent

Alex

The building is very pretty, interior is nicely decorate and cozy. The beds are comfy with good curtains. Location looks far away but most hostels require you hop on the Tube anyway so it all takes the same amount of time to get anywhere. Nearby supermarket, nightlife, and lots of restaurants. The bar is popular at night, hostel puts on lots of events. It's cheaper than other London hostels but on par with quality, I think

Shane

Very clean and organized. The food at the breakfast was very good quality. Bed was comfortable. The staff was really nice. Comfortable public area (bar and sitting room). A different kind of event organized by the staff every evening.

All in all I like this hostel pretty much (this is my 3rd stay there). Staff are always very friendly and helpful, the building and the atmosphere is unique and relaxing.

I like it’s lounge area that it’s big and has nice interiors. The staff are very nice and has given me a lower bunk bed upon my request. The location is just a few minutes walk from the train station and is very close to almost all the supermarkets such as tesco, wait rose, iceland and sainsbury. The neighborhood is very quiet too.

Kat

Jean

Hostel is located very close to the tube station so easily accessible. Hostel staff are good and helpful. Shower and restrooms were clean. Beds were comfortable to sleep in. There is also a separate luggage room to store in your luggage. which helped me as I had to checkout in the morning and could not move to other lodging acommodation till night.

“Not the best in London, definitely not the worst”

Our room smelled bad, bad enough you never could "ignore" it. Would have switched if staying more than one night. Other rooms have shoe racks outside, they should just do that for every room. There is one too many bunk beds for the area of the room so it's very cramped. Our wing had only one bathroom (the opposite wing had two, but one was closed). They get crowded and pretty nasty quickly, despite decent cleaning There's really only one hangout area not including the bar but there's a ton of people in the hostel.

It's not a very bad place for a hostel but when they charge you 65£ for one night in a 14 bed dorm (without breakfast) it is really really hard to be positive!! It is grossly overpriced and really, really, really bad value for money!!!
It's a good location and the staff was really nice.

The only 'con' was the sheer amount of emails they sent - between them and booking.com I had over twenty emails regarding the one night stay. Some were reminders, some were pushing us towards 'discounts' on tourist attractions. That was seriously off-putting, to the point I'm not sure I'd bother again.
A lovely building, with lots of character. We had a double room with en-suite, it wasn't large but plenty for the two of us. Breakfast was continental-style only.

We stayed at "Double Bed in 9-Bed Mixed Dormitory", which is quite interesting & unusual way to stay in hostel if you travel like couple :) What was the most amazing, that they have policy for windows to be opened, for proper air conditioning. Guys, you won't believe how important is that, and how many hostels get it wrong! That was my best sleep in the hostel ever! Highly recommended! PS building itself is just a piece of art

“Cool but not for sensitive sleepers”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 4 nights

1. Showers are annoying, no proper place to put your stuff except a few hooks. All clothes gets wet. 2. The full carpet in the room collects lots of dust, made my eyes itch and nose blocked. 3. Bad smell in the room (mold?) 4. All beds shake when someone gets in or out of bed and the heavy lockers make loud noise so you keep waking up if you are a sensitive sleeper. I slept really bad during the 4 nights (tho I had earplugs). 5. Music selection in the lounge and bar area could be better selected, not mainstream pop. 4. Kitchen is really tiny.
1. Nice location away from the traffic but easy access to centre. 2. Beautiful building. 3. Rather quiet rooms, no traffic noise from outside, 4. Cool and reasonably priced bar/restaurant where to meet people. 5. Good breakfast. 6. Special thanks (and sorry lol) to Massimo for taking care of the crazy Finn...
