to get started.

The location is excellent, in the heart of London. Accesible to major attractions and subway/metro/tube whatever you may call it. The staff is fantastic! Alex checked me in and was very attentive to anything I or any guest would need, always doing as much as possible to help anyone. The breakfast is simply but sufficient. They also include soy or almond milk as a choice for breakfast which was a huge plus. I contacted them before my arrival and they were very compliant to my wishes. I would definitely be back!

The location of the hostel is great. Close to two underground lines of different routes which could take you anywhere in the city. The bus stop is right outside. Great atmosphere at the pub at the reception. At the price point with free breakfast(sumptuous), it was a very good deal.

Nimit

I enjoyed the atmosphere and location of the hostel. The bar in the ground floor was great and the staff were awesome. Shout out to Alex for being so cool. They offer breakfast and I enjoyed it. The neighborhood is cool and you're near a major train line. I would stay here again the next time I visit London.

The staff is nice, the bedding is clean, there is a locker you can rent with deposit, and a free towel to use. And then there are other equipments like a standard hostel, e.g. kitchen, shared bathroom and toilets. Generally they are clean enough.

One shower has no light, and the other shower has no window. The open time for breakfast is 8am, I think it would be nice to star earlier, like 7 or 7:30.
The bed was comfortable, and the bar looks pretty nice. Also they have a good breakfast, bread, jams, cereals, milk and veggies milk, juices, coffe, chocolate, tea and fruits.

Unfortunately, the noise from the trains was constant. There was emergency road works still going on after 11pm, which combined with the noise of the trains was awful, although not the fault of the hostel. Problem with the electrics at the hostel, meaning the landing lights and kitchen lights werent working.
The staff were very helpful, and always smiling.

The listing said there would be a restroom inside the room but it was only the shower the toilet is located in the hallway. Perhaps it’s just the way things are on this side of the world.

Not much shared/communal gathering space; bathrooms were a bit tatty; bathrooms were either toilet or shower but not both; had to go down one floor to collect towels then up another two floors to the shower room; kitchen area closed by 11pm, but sometimes I come back later than that.
Efficient, great value for money, great staff (friendly, helpful, proactively informative), breakfast included
