*9.8* Camden Town Tube Station: only 5 minutes away! (1,200 feet by foot)

Having stayed there 1 night, i think it a good match of price to value. Needed a place close to Kings Cross Station, it in walking distance 15 minutes.

Small set up in a residential neighbourhood near shopping area and major landmarks. Euston station and the British Library are both a leisurely walk away - my reasons for choosing them. Considering the location and the city it was wonderful value for money. Small eat-out area in the sunny garden was a really nice addition. Reception staff were very helpful and professional and I am glad to receive a nice upgrade from a 12-bed room to a 4-bed one, totally for free! Thank you!

The place is very accessible as there's a tube station nearby and loads of buses that will take you to Central London in few minutes. I like the fact that it's so cheap, it wouldn't break your bank if you're not too fussy and fancy. The hostel is also clean overall.

I am one of the hardcore travellers around the world and I have been frequently using booking.com. I could be one of the few users that has Genius Level 2 rating. Below are my feedback during my 1 day + 1 night stay in 14-bed dorm room 1. Fairly easy to find location 2. Little street sight-seeing 3. Good WiFi connection 4. Clean bed-sheet 5. Fairly clean 6.

Location was perfect, easy to get to the Tube/travel all around London, food and shops were everywhere in Camden, the 6-person room with its own bathroom was ideal as there was only one shower and one bathroom for the other rooms to share, definitely appreciated the curtains and plug at each bed, staff was friendly enough and helpful when asked questions, breakfast was simple (bread, spreads, juice, coffee, cereal) but easy and cheap. I would definitely stay here again!

“Reasonable and affordable. Cheap add-on options (breakfast, towels, etc). Close to public transport.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 5 nights
The size of the room for the number of guests is tight (by hostel standards). It got very crowded with a couple of suitcases there. The bathroom is tiny, and could use something like a couple of shelves for toothpastes etc, which kept falling off the one shelf whenever I was in there. But then it was a good price for London.
It was a good price, and there was very affordable breakfast option there (£2). Lockers are rentable (£1) which is an important thing to have in a hostel after having stuff stolen in other hostels. Staff are helpful, and there is a small common area and kitchen available. Location is good, close to many good bars, public transport and supermarkets etc..

The location feels a bit unsafe at night especially if walking from the bus station.
The bed was clean and surprisingly comfortable even if the space was cramped (not that it's very cramped as they try and fit as many beds into a small space). They allowed for storage of bags on early arrival.

The bed is three tiered so I keep hitting my head on the bottom of the upper layer bed. the movement detection light in bathroom doesn't make much sense as when you shower it goes out because the shower itself is out of the detection range...
Location is still in walking range to the centre of London, or there are buses and underground however buses are fewer perhaps because of the demonstration.

House staff Polish or Russian sounding are too noisy when in the back yard, just because they are up at 7am doesn't mean we all are. Please keep it down. Did not like the three teer beds to high or too low and too busy. No bed lights didnt bare well when no-one can see when they return. Hello everyone!! Lights on? In an honest review I would not rebook a 3 teer bed set up if I knew of it. Breakfast Toaster is Naff single sided toast!!
Location is great free parking on the street from 6.30 to 08.30 In reality the lockers need to have a hasp and clasp system back to Padlocks and be numbered to the Bed. The electronic lockers are not secure enough, add £1 to every booking and ditch the electric locker for padlocks supplied by the guest

“Super genuine feedback - must read ! ! !”

Super noisy place. If you are checked in room # 11 in the basement you can't get any sleep because outside the entrance of the hostel 2 meters away from your window that cannot be shut fully groups of guests are having an after-party till 4am-5am screaming and talking unreasonably loud on the top of their voices. Also, the room #11 is a couple of meters away from the kitchen and the living room so the noise starts again around 7am and you should be lucky to get 3 hours of sleep in total over night unless you come back steaming drunk or off your head on drugs and all that horrible noise doesn't bother you, but if you are sober you will see what I mean. On top of all that this very unpleasant experience costs you just less than £30.00 for a bed in room #11 for a night over the weekend. Camden is great but I'm not sure about the terrible noise of the guests staying outside the hostel all night long.
The socket on the wall next to my pillow. You can charge your phone and listen to your music rather than the terrible noise from the after-party guests staying outside the hostel all night long.

Tiny and stuffy rooms, even tinier hallways, noisy showers with no regulation, only a "push-for-a-bloody-torrent" button (sucks for people who hate making noise late and disturbing others).
Cheap, good location, late-night check-in, simple breakfast for a small fee, actually clean mattresses (!!!)
