Good night

Was very good value for a quick overnight stop, surprisingly quiet, room was extremely hot so if possible take a portable fan

Excellent Location

The location is just perfect. However, the 12 person room with bunkbeds were just not for me. If you can tolerate that than this hostel would be perfect for you.

The hostel is conveniently located, within walking distance to theaters, museums and many tourist attraction sites. Will recommend to others.

10/10 Exceptional

This was cheap and cheerful. Excellent value for money stay in a set of bunk beds with en-suite for less £100 in the centre of London near tube station and walking distance to all the attractions. Thank you

Great

It was really great. The staff was really nice and it was really inn. The location is the best only 15 minutes by foot to the center amazing ! The only flat was that it was really hot on the room.

Standard dorm

Hostels always appear on my searches, so thought I'd hive one a go. It's what you would expect from a hostel, toilet and shower shared between the 9 of us in the dorm. Ladder up maybe could be better, lockers where very large, could do with some more hooks for towels (don't forget to bring your own) and better shoe storage. No food allowed in the room, although some ignored that. Note that it's age restricted to 18-45 years old only.

6/10 Good

Beds are too congested and small. reception guy will not let you seat in reception area unless you check-in.. found so rude behaviour..

6/10 Good

Like many other reviewers, I have to complain about the metal drawers at the bottom of the bunk beds. I thought I'd be ok with it because I usually wear earplugs. But those noises are unavoidable unless you put on shooting ear mufflers. I constantly woke up at night due to that noise and wasn't able to sleep well during my 3 day stay there. Although they offered the cheapest price for a great location, I would have picked a different place where I can at least sleep through the night.
