Staff were really polite and location was good that’s all the positive I have for this generator.
United KingdomThis is an extremely convenient location for Kings Cross stations, the British Museum, etc. The beds are comfortable and the place was very clean, and there is wifi throughout which some other hostels (cough YHA) don't have at a similar price.
United KingdomThe social spaces, food and bar were awesome. Had a great time hanging out there with my family.
United KingdomFantastic location and the bar closing at 3am was a great surprise. Staff very nice and everything was clean
SpainThe room was quite good. It was a table there to work with the computer.
RussiaGreat location, easy access to food, drinks, and transport nearby. The room was surprisingly quiet!
DenmarkThe location of this hotel is just superb, in central London. Staff are really friendly and I loved the facilities, specially the common ones on the first floor, and the bar had a great atmosphere. You even have a special machine to make your own popcorn!! We had a private 4-beds bedroom which was decent size and the beds are quite comfortable and it was handy to have a sink in the room. Check in and check out really easy. I would highly recommend it
United KingdomIt’s fantastic location if you are using King’s Cross/St.Pancras stations to get to London. Also lots of cafes and sightseeing in walking distance
RussiaThe beds were comfortable and the privacy on the beds was great. Also a charger and light attached are useful!
SwitzerlandReally good location!!! Easy to walk everywhere and close to tubes stops if you don’t want to walk. Very close to 3 supermarkets, even a little shopping area and cinema with plenty of local restaurants around the area too. Beds were comfy, hostel was clean. Good buffet breakfast till 11am. Not the cheapest but if you are a big eater it would definitely be worth your money, hot drinks and juice includes too. Loved that you can do late check out!! Cafe/bar was nice. Didn’t find it overly sociable but it could be time of year and also always depends on who’s booked in the hostel. I did enjoy my stay though.
