Stayed here for 2 weeks with a friend of mine, our first time in London. Not knowing much about London, we picked here because it was cheap, had great reviews. We soon learnt that it's about a 30 min tube ride into central London, which is fine, except it starts to add up cost wise and would probably work out... More

I stayed here with my daughter for two nights. On arrival the man on the front desk asked me for two forms of ID; as a UK resident I hadn't thought of taking my passport with me, and had left my driving licence ID at home so it wouldn't get lost. He said that he wouldn't book me in without... More

We booked this place from NZ before leaving for the UK, were excited to arrive and start our adventure from somewhere as social as this appeared. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. The double room we paid for was tiny, with no window and no room for bags. The bed was uncomfortable and the walls paper thin. The showers in the... More

The staff is helpful and funny! Stayed here a few times, clean and only 20mins from city centre, the hostel is also only a 30 second walk from the underground station. I had good pints as well in there!

It was perfect for what we needed it: sleep after busy days in London. We stayed in a 18 bed dorm, so when the coming in and out of some of our dormmates got noisy, earplugs came in handy. The place is nice and clean, plus it comes with a free continental breakfast. It's only a 20 min tube ride... More

It is one of the cleanest hostels in London-- staff are efficient more than they are friendly. There is an attitude about some of the staff- I wrongly re-entered the place at 1am after staying there 3 nights before I was to stay another 3 nights having paid a deposit and booked again. the night staff saw me in common...

This hostel is very basic but is excellent value for what you pay. There is a very good kitchen area with great cooking facilities for those that don't have money to eat out all the time and those that are long term residents in the hostel. It is well ventelated in the summer and the kitchen/living and dorm rooms are... More
