Staff were nice, other than that was pretty dire, I booked an 8 bed room and was put into a 10 bed, there was an en-suite but it had no toilet paper or hand soap or cold water so was pretty useless, was advertised as a plug and a reading light per bed, but were only 3 pairs of plugs and no lights

Julian

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Bunk bed was a total nightmare to get in to apparently being designed for prison use with a metal ladder with very thin rungs that caused acute pain to the bottom of my feet. Also staying in a four room dorm was a mistake as the three other users had stolen my bed as a luggage rack and had to get up to remove it when I arrived. Also they all got up together at 8am making it impossible for me to sleep on till 10pm. Bunk beds were also near impossible for a larger sized male to get in and out of due to unacceptably narrow opening to the torturingly uncomfortable metal ladder to reach the top bunk.

It was an okay stay. Great price for the location and being in London. The room was terribly small and the soundproofing was dreadful. We shared a floor with a group of students from France, and they spent multiple hours running around and shouting. We sent a complaint to reception, but nothing was really done.

There was a leak in the toilet, due to which water kept coming out in the room all night and the sweeper kept cleaning the water. I couldn't sleep all night, so I should get a refund.

Handy for the city of London

This hostel is in a good location, but really needs some money spending on it. Very run down, lots of broken fittings and facing an extremely noisy road. I couldn't stay here again. It isn't even that cheap.

It's a nice place for singles to be when waiting for the next flight abroad. The only problem is if the people in the room are snoring, your night would be sleepless. If I'm back in London, I'll probably consider this my first option.

This hostel was everything my husband and I needed it to be; a cheap, clean, nice place to stay in London. There’s even a bus stop right outside the building, so using public transportation was also easy and saved us a lot of money.

This was the worst stay i've ever had in a hostel. Kids/teens running through the halls, screaming, and slamming doors until 2 to 3 am, smoking in their rooms and setting off alarms at 1 am. The showers walls and floors are slimy and unclean. The toilets are always dirty with pee and poop including the pee being on the seats, walls, and floors (not an exaggeration). Horrible hostel with no chance of repeat business.
