United KingdomThis place is a gem. Really fantastic people and the upgrade was stunning. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer.
United States of AmericaExcellent location, 7 min walking to main attractions. Nice personal.
IrelandGreat Place. The staff was extremely courteous. This was my first Stay at a Hostel and it exceeded my expectations.
United States of AmericaEverything. You have the power to choose, if you want a good location & not a light sleeper then this is for you. Dont choose this place if you have much to say about the noise - do ur research before booking & u're good to go. I'd say it's an excellent experience.

RussiaThe hostel staff was wonderful. They were very friendly and welcoming. They did well managing the facility. The hostel was a 3 minute walk to a Tube station that made travel extremely easy.
United States of AmericaAmazing staff, very comfortable, and provides the best peace of mind for a holiday!
United States of AmericaIt was so clean and cozy. (When I went up to drop my luggage before check-in, a staff was changing the bed clothing.) And the location is fantastic.
FranceDeb, Deb, Deb!!!! She was the most wonderful employee I’ve met. I’ve stayed at 100’s of hostel across the globe but this one is up there and it’s all because of her. Great location and comfortable beds :) Also, was an NFL game in London and was very easy to get to Wembley field from the hostel.
United States of AmericaStaff is wonderful: they couldn't be more helpful and attentive. Bar has a good atmosphere. Location is awesome: in front of a public bicycle station, in front of a grocery store, besides more than one underground/tube stations, walking distance from: Imperial War Museum, Big Ben, London Eye (visible from my room's window :) and lots of food options, plus several alternate spots that I loved to visit when exploring the area around the hostel (southeast of the river).
