71-72 Guilford Street, Camden, London, WC1N 1DF, United Kingdom – Great location - show map – Subway Access
Location awesome, breakfast simple but good enough for a morning boost for starting the day, please note that NO ALTERNATIVE MILK FOR VEGANS/LACTOSE INTOLERANCE. 24/7 reception open with staff members, lockers for renting and washing/dryer machines for 5-6 pounds.
IsraelThe accommodation is nice. The girl that stayed in the night with the long hair and had just come back from holidays was very sympathetic and helpful.
BrazilGood location, curtains over the beds, very clean, reasonable price
Belaruslocation was good. each bed has its own curtain giving everybody their own personal space.
QatarThey run a tight operation here. Several rooms with 10+ beds, so they probably accommodate over 100 guests at any time. It's surprisingly very clean and peaceful considering the volume of guests they have! Bathrooms/ showers were clean and bedrooms were cozy.
GeorgiaThe hostel is centrally located near lots of London attractions, restaurants, and grocery stores. The staff are friendly and the room I got (with ensuite bathroom) is comfortable. The breakfast is comprised of wonderful machine coffee, apple and orange (Tang ?) juices, two kinds of cold cereal, and sliced bread (with roll toasters) with Nutella and butter.
United States of AmericaI didn't have the breakfast so no experience to judge it.
United KingdomThe location is amazing. If you don’t want to expend too much in transportation you can walk yo main points from the hostel and then take the tube on your way back (if you are tired). The beds were good, you had curtains so a lot of privacy.
ChileGreat location of the hostel, low price of accommodation, friendly staff, easy check-in and check-out, normal cleanliness in the hostel, equipped kitchen. Good wifi. Things in the rooms do not disappear!
RussiaCentral to everything, Russell street underground is around the corner and clean hostel. Lockers in the room are £1 a day to rent, which is odd, but they’re secure.
