Safe neighbour hood

House keeping staff are attentative and detauled when cleaning rooms. Has curtain on bunk beds. The pantry is very small and unable to cater more than 1 person if they are cooking. Fridge is extremely packed and food often get stolen even with name/bed number on. Has lift. Safe and quiet area

This is a superb property. The location is great , just a 2 min walk from the tube station. I recommend you asking for a room on the 1st floor . The basement rooms can feel claustrophobic and there is no ac
Shaun, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The stay wa good overall. A clean place, nice people, good breakfast. The only thing I regret is that there was a roommate who was very noisy and even ate in bed while we wanted to sleep.. But that is not the fault of the hostel, so it was all barbarous in general lines. I will definitely return!

The place was under construction this should have been mentioned before booking.
ellen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It is what it is.

This is my third time staying here, but first time in the summer. I happened to stay during one of the heat waves, no AC, windows barely open, even after the temp cooled off outside it still remained uncomfortably hot inside the room. There’s a separate women’s only bathroom that was out of order that made the only one on the floor a lot busier than it should have been. The neighbourhood was great, and proximity to the tube was perfect! I guess at the end of the day you just need to know that you get what you pay for. A convenient place to sleep near transit, but lacks some creature comforts.
