The cleanliness and the rooms conditions could be improved. Feels like a bad maintained hospital and the dirt in the bathrooms doesn't get you nearly ok.
It's location is pretty neat - close to all major things in center London - walk-able distance and connected to others by wither train, buses or tube.

The social atmosphere wasn't the best if you are a solo traveler, but the hostel has everything you need. It is also right next to the train tracks so it's pretty noisy all the time. No real complaints other than that. I enjoyed my stay
I loved the bar downstairs. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The surrounding area was cool to explore, and it was easy to get transport from the hostel.

The pillow is not the best. And i couldn't lock anything in my room because the type of locker does not support it. It's really close to the station so you will hear noises and see flashes the whole night.

Two other guests in the dorm came in at 3am drunk and were laughing and eating chips for an hour. The whole dorm was woken up and many people asked them to be quiet. The staff was contacted but not much was done, the two carried on. Not really their fault but left us very tired and grumpy.
Everything was as shown; clean, safe, comfortable. The staff were very friendly and kind.
