HORRIBLE PLACE. Do not stay here. WE HAD TO WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT by a man telling us we had to leave the room (at 2AM!!!) because staff was not well informed on the dates of our stay. Of course, no refund was provided, even though it was their mistake. Plus, the place is dirty and noisy as I have never seen before. WORSE STAY EVER. I honestly advise you not to book any night in this hostel.

The place was horrible! First, it was so hard for us to check-in as no body picked up the phone. We waited for almost 1,5 hours outside with the winter wind! Second, the place is super dirty! There were 2 plastic bags inside the toilet with poo and shits! It is like living with animals in the house! It stinks really bad. We send the email to the hostel but they did not response at all! The third, The check out time was crap as well as they did not mention anything in the email and suddenly at 10 am they asked us to leave the place. The place is crap so dont book this hostel. It is really horrible sleeping with the smell of the shit all around the place!

Dirty bathrooms, already used bedsheets and a sickening smell. Nice staff but I strongly suggest, avoiding false economies by cutting corners.

Well, it's not a bad place. it's in a good position but it's not an hostel as it is meant. It's a house where there are more bedrooms and you can be transferred in another place if tehre isn't any there. Bathroom are quite clean but really small and actually everything it's quite small... We staied there only to sleep and we didn't have the possibility to socialize a lot but I guess it's quite impossibile there. They do not have lot of plugs so we had problem to recharge all our laptops and mobile phones.

We ended up in a different location than booked. Ofc it was further away from the metro. Also it took them a long time to pick us up.

Was nothing like we were told. Up side was that we got a 4 person room when we paid for a 6. People there were nice.

Hostel is newly refurbished, bathrooms and kitchens are really nice which is something I always look for!
About 20 mins from central London, hostel is about a 6 minute walk from station.
Met some really nice people who have been staying here for a while, it has a friendly, relaxed 'homely' atmosphere. Not a party hostel. Staff are mostly Aussie/Kiwi, and are really friendly. They offer a free pick up service from the station when you arrive which is really good when the area is not familar. I'd reccommend it.
