Location, staff always available and helpful. Breakfast unusual for hostel so that was nice.

Jane, United States of America

everything small and tight and old. bathrooms super small and old but you can’t complain about the price for the location.

Jason, United States of America

The location is amazing. You’re smacked in the middle of the main attractions. The beds are comfortable, linens are clean and a towel is included. The staffs are also very nice. There were two bathroom and shower rooms on my floor and I never found myself needing to wait. The shower room has a general purpose soap dispenser.

Xian, United States of America

Very clean. Comfortable bed. Clean toilets. Friendly and accommodating staff. Very cosy bar and fabulous restaurant on site.

Paul, United Kingdom

While it's certainly not fancy, this hotel provided nice, clean, comfortable beds, and it's in a great location. The staff was friendly, and it served its purpose well.

Rachel, United States of America

I liked the single room layout. There were toilets and showers right nearby the room. There was a beautiful lounge area great for reading, socializing or just enjoying some leisure time. The staff was friendly and helpful. The WiFi worked well. The location is right near the theater district, and walking distance from London Eye and the Hop On/Hop Off bus. The Tube is a short walk away.

Alison, United States of America

Great central location, friendly staff, and breakfast is included!

William, France

Very high internet speed at common area. Great location. Comfortable bed and pillow.

Mu'az, Malaysia

Good location,walking distance to all theaters,museums, restaurants and parks.The room on the 6 floor was quite clean with comfy bed.The toilet and shower were just next door.There is a sink an a teapot in the room with a good size table dresser and closet.You can leave your laggage for free after checking out.

Elena, United States of America

The location is excellent (a few minutes away from the Temple underground station, 5-10 minutes away from the Charing Cross station, the theatres for The Lion King and Mamma Mia are literally across the street), the breakfast is included in the price and the staff are very nice.

The shower was unusable hot so I went without a shower. When I complained I was told that I should have gone to reception(10 flights of stairs) when they would have advised of a bathroom that was ok. Assuming that wasn’t occupied all good. Apparently “no compensation can be provided for retrospective complaints” and that was trotted out like it was said to most guests. Dreadful and unforgivable that they can’t provide a proper bathroom on the same floor as your room. And the high handed and completely unapologetic attitude of the reception staff was the icing on the cake. Nightmare stay.

The Windows didn't close, no Wi-Fi or TV In the rooms. A must, I'm afraid in this day and age! Definitely needs a little spruce up, but it is what it is for the price, excellent value! Too many stairs I'm afraid, not good for frail or disabled.
Hotel was extremely basic, but what it lacked in splendour it more than made up for in location and security. I felt very safe and the bar area was delightful, 2 for one cocktails between 4 and 7! Will definitely book there again asap! Receptionist lovely and helpful too. Breakfast included, very acceptable too.

The place has a vaguely shambolic feel, exemplified by one of the toilets overflowing when flushed, leaving me in a race against water to get out of the cubicle.
The location is outstanding and, considering this centrality, the room was pleasingly quiet.
