I have stayed at several hostels here in London, some of whom have a really high rating, but the experience did not match the rating. This hostel though should definitely be rated higher than it is. It’s a good experience. Super Clean It's nice and clean. As an example, somebody went into the toilet and made a huge mess of the sink. Two seconds later housekeeping made the sink nice and clean again. They clean with bleach too which makes it smell nice. Professional Front Desk Front desk staff are super professional. If something does happen they are all over it and make it comfortable for you. It’s a safe place to stay. Continental Breakfast £6.50 The mini breakfast is good! It has porridge, pancakes, meats, cheeses, boiled eggs, breads for toast, cold cereal, tea, coffee, orange juice and apple juice. Vending Machine The prices are quite reasonable in their vending machines too £1 for a can of soda or £1.89 for a Monster. That’s so much more teas than other places that want £4 for an energy drink or £2.50 for a can of soda. All around this place is reasonably priced and a nice stay. The experience is quite pleasant. Thank you for that! You have a very nice experience at your hostel! :)

Perfect location for my surgery Perfect price as just needed a place to sleep didn't need anything else. Having a disability, the only thing that was a slight issue for me was alot of stair to get to room, no lift. But I managed it. Lockers available in room, had to buy a padlock for £4.50 which was worth it for safe keeping of personal items. Was able to leave and go out for dinner with no worries. Big room available with tables and chairs, also had kitchen area with fridge and I think microwave if I can remember which is great for self catering Location Perfect for shops and restaurants I would highly recommend to people that are looking for a hostel stay

One of the cleanest hostels i have ever been in! Staff working round the clock to make it clean. Done an amazing job for this. Constantly cleaning kitchens toilets showers you name it, they done it. Breakfast is a paid one but good selection for a hostel Its a good hostel! Great location, bit loud now and again and a bit awkward with the children but understand it is a hostel / hotel... Good sized lockers and really nice staff helping me when i was checking in giving me a free locker to store my stuff and another free locker when i had to check out to check back in. Stayed 9 days longer than planned cant fault them, its a good hostel!

Area location was great, close to everything. Reception staff were lovely. We could store our luggage in a locker before we checked in which was great. They also let us keep luggage in the hotel after checkout for a small fee (£4) which was much more convenient for our last day there. They sell bits in the hostel and you can rent towels. They have a laundry room and kitchen area which was really convenient. Ironing facilities as well. Beds were comfy but not alot of space, kept banging my head but what do you expect from bunk beds!

Kimberly

I loved the location, very close to the british museum, a beautiful park, the underground station both a sainsbury's and tesco (convenience stores). The city centre (Chinatown, Soho, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham palace, St James Park, BigBen..) is just a 15-20 min stroll away, it was just perfect. There's just enough room for you on your bunk bed and a curtain for privacy. Clean bathroom with a sink inside the small room if you're in need of a bidet substitute. mirrors and outside sink as well. Lockers.
