By far the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The beds were larger than I expected, and the comforter was thick and warm. The breakfast was good. The staff were friendly and helpful—particularly Adi. She went out of her way to ask how I was doing, and we had some lovely conversations. If I come back to London, I’ll probably return here.

Cheap and good value - if you get it at the right price. We paid around £60 for a night, twin bunks ensuite. Acceptable for London - not too far from the centre. Beds really uncomfortable and noisy if you're a light sleeper

Room was in good condition. Private bathroom was very small and could have been cleaner. Lockers were expensive to rent considering that you could only place items in them one time (if you wanted to put more stuff in it would cost you an additional £5). Had a good stay Staff were all very helpful and nice.
