It is within walking distance like 3-4 mins. I like the location of this hostel. It is really great , near to underground Russel Square (3-4 mins) within walking distance to Piccadilly and Leicester Square (15-20mins). When the sunset it is just nice stroll back passing two busy parks. The building of the hostel is beautiful. Everything is clean here. We have the private room, with a bathroom, small size but as expected and we slept just good. Sunday is abit busy and more noise in the morning but other days are ok. We were out and about everyday thus it doesn’t matter with the size. Basic breakfast served daily. I can grab a cup of coffee, toast and egg. At the back lane, there is a nice bakery shop with great latte and cinnamon rolls.

The hostel is located in a historic part of London, close to the British Museum, tube, store and many restaurants. The hostel is in a historical building and has a good historical atmosphere. The staff are good guys, but special thanks to the administrator Diler, who helped me to change after 2 - x nights room number 110 in which the beds were uncomfortably located and the room itself was very small, to room number 308, where everything was in its place. My advice to the manager of the hostel make everything normal as in room number 308, I mean the arrangement of beds 2 floors, not 3 floors as in room number 110.

Great location, very close to Russell Sq tube station and a Tesco local supermarket. The Hop-on-hop-off-bus had a stop at the end of the street. Typical backpackers decor and facilities. Rooms are small, and private ensuite in the 4 bed room was absolutely tiny, but did the job and the shower was hot and strong. Room was warm and clean, and surprisingly quiet. Earplugs are provided for free from reception. Communal kitchen well equipped, and tables to eat at.

The hostel is located very close to Russell Square metro station and the commercial area, meaning there's no shortage of shops and restaurants! Overall, the hostel is comfortable! For the price it is, it’s worth it. A reminder for future visitors: bring a lock with you. The rooms have drawers to store your luggage, but if you don't bring a padlock, you'll need to buy one at the reception. 😁

For a hostel the accommodation has been super clean (especially the kitchen rooms!). I had the feeling that there were always some cleaning ladies around, trying to keep everything clean and nice. The staff in general was super kind and friendly. Also the private bathroom in our dorm was always cleaned perfectly.
