Quite easy to get into central London (30min) but very far from Heathrow airport (this reason alone will keep me from staying here again although the place is nice). Hard to charge my phone as the adaptor didn't fit in the locker. Having the locker directly next to the bed is not very comfortable.

Very clean, bed was already made, quiet (not a party hostel). Plenty of showers (never had to wait!). Staff was nice. Lots of public transport options within walking distance.

It is such a pity that in a potentially lovely place, I found only one receptionist that was always smiling and truly welcoming ( the portuguese-speaking girl who checked me in). Refrigerators inside the kitchen need some good cleaning. Pillows very flat, not particularly comfortable. The location is still not the safest one in Whitechapel and definitely not the prettiest, compared to other areas nearby.

The room was very clean and quite spacious for a dorm, equipped with hooks for jackets, scarves and towels and a small security box by the bed ( nothing of that kind in a more "luxurious" hostel in the area where I had stayed previously); the bathroom in the room was always clean and the shower very comfortable; the kitchen is well equipped in case you wanted to have breakfast, either provided by them ( at a very honest 3 GBP paid on the spot) or made by yourself. Hairdryers, towels, padlocks and adaptors were available at reception and promptly offered to me at check-in, in case I needed. Wifi signal was perfect at all times. Hostel not far from tube station of Mile End, which makes it easy to move around London. Bus stop right in front of hostel, which goes directly to Canary Wharf. A Co-op supermarket at a few minutes walk from the hostel.

very far from main attractions of London breakfast is very simple but also cheap.

they gave free adaptor and locks which is really great because nowadays hostels charge for that.

The hostel is clean and the location is great. The staff are all nice and accomodating especially Ali who gladly change my room to a more convenient one.

Nearby traffic made loud noises and the bed has stable mattress problems…The hot tub has drainage problems as well…but overall worth to stay!

All staff are super friendly and helpful, very prompt check-in, location is great and close to most key tourist spots, good security for luggages with padlocks provided, worth to stay and I will come back again!

Staff super friendly and accommodating. Breakfast VFM! Quiter than other hostels I’ve stayed at. Good location for West End etc. with nearby TUBE station. Plenty of eateries and café close by.

Most staff are really helpful and friendly, but one of the women at the reception was quite clueless and unhelpful when I had to get my second booking processed. She didn't know how to process any of my cards, even though her colleague had processed my payment for the first booking just fine only two days apart. Had to go to the ATM and withdraw cash in the end, as she had no idea what to do, and she just sat there subtly placing the blame on me, without even bothering to seek a solution or help from other staff. Would have given my stay a higher rating, if not for this negative experience.

Really safe hostel for solo female travellers. The vibe is easy-going and I always meet interesting people when I stay here. Kitchen is well-stocked and toilets and other shared spaces are cleaned regularly. Very close to the tube station and located in a calm neighbourhood. Would recommend!

Unfortunately the shower in my room was not in a good shape (low water pressure and a blocked drain) so I used the other one on the hall

The staff is absolutely amazing and helped me a lot to solve some problems that I face in the city. The room was pretty comfortable for a hostel (silent, spacious and clean), the curtains in the bunkbed provided great privacy and cosiness, the closed shelves are very convenient and the cards to access the rooms makes me feel safer. That's not a party hostel, it's for people that look for a peaceful environment.

Hallways could do with an upgrade.

Everything is good for the price in London.

The hostel is located next to a bus stop and 5 min walk from the Mile End tube station (Zone2). The room is spacious and have curtain for privacy. Bed lamp and small locker with socket provided at each bed. The in-room bathroom is clean and handrub and soap is provided. Powerful shower with sustainable hot water. Equipped mini-kitchen for self-service.

The staffs are friendly, breakfast at £3., clean, as promised there is a parking for my motorbike. Nice location, short distance to town. Welcoming with smiling face. Good WiFi. The locker to keep belongings is beautifully designed. And there is bottom cabinet too. Very nice

Room was a bit stuffy. Could use some fresh air

Clean. Friendly staff. Designated areas for chilling out at and eating.

The bed was mostly very good, with a combined plug and cupboard for keeping vaulables/charging phone at night, also with a hole for a cord to come out - nice touch. Good lockers provided too, with no nonsense fee for using a lock. However, the bed wasn't pushed against the wall, so there was the risk of things falling down the side onto others below! An easy fix. The bathroom was fine but cramped and in need of better tidying - not dirty, but needs clutter removed.

The staff were great, and the location is very handy so close to Mile End tube and some supermarkets, cafes and kebab places. The beds are nice enough, though some small issues (see below). I arrived late for 1 night and left early the next morning, and it worked well for that especially given the location.

A lot of rules, posters like threats 😂. But I guess that's understandable with how many people are staying in the building. The receptionist is clearly a bouncer somewhere or was, and anything you forget they charge you for, which I imagine is pretty standard but just a heads up. Oh - I had a constant feeling or not being clean though, because of nine of us sleeping in one room, I sweated through by PJ's most nights, near the end I was starting to get the impression that there was mould somewhere in the room but in a place that couldn't be cleaned or something, everything constantly smelled damp and I don't usually shower everyday but I felt I had to because I couldn't work out if it was me or not. Also, the plug sockets and every bed - which is good, but you can hear the whirring through the night and (I was top bunk) I could see down the back of the bed to all the extension plugs plugged into the wall, there's no way that's fire safe, nine bed plugs to two wall sockets (I could only see one side of the room so I'm guessing the total). Felt worrying in the brain back burner but overall I didn't feel unsafe for my personal safety etc

Convenient location, showers and kitchen were regularly cleaned and communal area for eating and laptoping.

Common baths very clean, kitchen available( cleanliness depends on guests…),breakfast worth the price . Room ,private bath and linen perfect. Not really central but tube and busses very convenient

May need one more fan for the room. The location is not the greatest.

Staff was very friendly and attentive, I’ll give 5 stars just for their attitude. The room and the bathrooms were very clean .

Beds don't have railings on all sides. Using the laundry machine is only possible if you have exact change in specific coins. Though the tube is close, it still takes a long while to get to most places in the city.

This hostel has a nice, calm environment and affordable breakfast. beds are equipped with one large locker near the floor and one as a console on the bed itself. It seems like the bunks were custom made.

Gets very warm in the room when outside temperatures are high, no AC and fans were not very helpful.

Friendly staff, clean beds, safe storing of property provided free of charge.
