They 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.
United States of AmericaI like the reception much especially the guy named Dafir. He is such a helpful person.The location is great,close to Russel Square underground.
United KingdomBright colorful decor, helpful staff, great Bloomsbury location and facade, nice private room.
United States of AmericaVery nice place and very beautiful view . I have no tansion searching address I will visit again.
IndiaIt was super close to city center and close to most of the attractions, two minute walk to the closest underground, only one station away from King’s X and five stations away from London Victoria. The staff was more helpful than I thought and I lost my keycard to the room but they didn’t charge me any fine which is super nice.
