to get started.

The place is quite accesible and the staff is warmly friendly. There are activities almost every day. The bar opens at 6 so you have plenty of time if you want to hang out while you play (they can borrow you a Nintendo or more things) or rest.

The location was great, right in the end of Zone 1, just a short walk to any of the bus or tube. Great for the value. The bar downstairs was nice, and all the amenities were wonderful. Staff was friendly.

The hostel is modern and has a special 'traveler' vibe. Breakfast is good for such a price, the bar in the cellar is good!, we stayed in a private room for 2, basic but comfortable, shower and bathroom were good, staff was polite and friendly.

It’s very chic and comfortable and cozy. The decor is really nice and I felt like I was more at a boutique hotel than a hostel. The bar downstairs was a nice touch too.

“Nice hostel for young people”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
Young atmophere, the bar in the basement with the free foosball and cheap drinks. The staff was very friendly. Our room was huge, bathroom and toilett separately, and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was around £5 per person with a good choice for this price: cereals, yoghurt, juices, toast, vegetables, meat, cheese, jam, fruit, baked beans, sausage, boiled egg and good coffee.

The bunk beds were quite laud. Every time you make a move you can hear them squeak, sometimes de bathroom gets a little dirty but that’s on behalf of the other roommates.

Just the beds, that was the only thing I wasn’t a huge fan of. Not that they weren’t comfortable, but they were so loud. Anytime anyone moved or rolled over, the bed made a lot of noise which woke people up. Otherwise it was excellent!

“What a lovely place!”
- • Leisure trip

My staying was really enjoyable, the staff was cheerful, friendly, and hospitable, the kitchen was well-equipped. There is a cafe just around a corner where you can order a classic English breakfast for 7 pounds, hence you don't need to bother cooking a breakfast. There are two tube (underground, metro) stations within walking distance. Aldgate is on Metropolitan and Circle lines. Aldgate East is on Hammersmith & City and district lines. Thus, the location is quite convenient, you can quickly get to a landmark in the city centre or in outskirts and get back. There is Sainsbury's supermarket nearby. I would recommend using ATM at Sainsbury's rather than at the hostel due to extra fees for withdrawal. In addition, you can met new friends in the kitchen or at the bar. I believe that the trip, as well as the accommodation, was worth the money on the grounds that I talked to other guests from the US, Australia, etc. That was a great English practice for me.
