Rispecchia lo spirito Inglese

Materassi quasi inesistenti si dormiva sulla tavola, e letti piccolissimi non riuscivo ad allungare le gambe e sono alto 176 cm. Docce con acqua fredda e lavandini microscopici. Camera piccolissima non ci si stava in due giù dai letti.

rapporto qualità-prezzo pessimo

La sala comune Abbastanza vicino a camden e al british museum

C’erano letti a castello a 3 piani. Mi hanno dato il più alto: un incubo. La notte non si riusciva a dormire tanto del caldo..ti sentivi soffocare perché i letti sono molto bassi…non riuscivo a stare seduta perché sbattevo la testa sul soffitto. Inoltre bisogna farsi il letto da solo: immagina farti il letto al 3 piano con una scala per salirci molto scomoda Il bagno piccolissimo Armadietti piccolissimi Durante il mio soggiorno una ragazza non trovava più i suoi soldi e ha iniziato ad accusare tutte quelle della camera, costringendo in particolare una ad aprire e guardare tra le sue cose in maniera aggressiva.

Alojamiento con buena ubicacion a un muy buen precio

La cercania, el precio y la tranquilidad del sitio hacen que sea una muy buena opción

Han disminuido un poco el higiene en los baños compartidos, ingrese a un baño recien lo estaban terminando de arreglar y estaba aun sucio.

Good place for spending a few nights in central London

Location is top-tier. You can reach most of London's sights by walking or with a short ride by bus. British museum is a few minutes walk. Many food points nearby. Supermarkets: Tesco express and Sunsbury. Buffet breakfast is simple but quite good (£6.50). They offer 10% discount for future bookings. They offer laundry service: £4 per wash or dry or £7.50 (afair) for both. They offer a website for auto check-in, but I didn't figure out how to use the QR for it (in email QR was damaged). During the check-in the website will ask for your bank card info (in case of additional charges). They have vending machines with drinks and snacks.

Common area is small and most its also dining area (tables with wooden benches). There are no variations in buffet breakfast. Some details are not well thought-out: too few surfaces to sit on or put your small stuff in bed (except holder for phone). When you climb on 2nd or 3rd level in bed there's no way to switch room lights off anymore from there. Sometimes water in showers is warm, sometimes not. I think bed linen is given out for your entire stay, but maybe you can ask to change it every few days. I don't feel much hospitality from this hostel overall, but maybe it's just my impression.

great location, but no space for relaxing.

own bed with curtains, good idea

Drawers are so loud and wake up anyone if you just unlock it. The only place to chill was a room with a very loud TV on all the time. Other spaces were like High school cafeteria, and SO loud when it was full. bathroom was somehow always wet on the floor.

Recomendado y volvería.

Muy buena ubicación. Estación de metro cercana y con tienda de alimentos las 24hrs. La habitación privada es cómoda para el precio.

No tiene ascensor, aunque es algo que informan en la publicación. Otra cosa es que costaba mucho regular la temperatura del agua de la ducha.

Man geht in ein Hostel, kein HOTEL

Super Lage, tolle Aufenthaltsräume

Es ist extrem laut. Man hört jeden Schritt, welcher draussen auf dem Flur gemacht wird oder im Zimmer oben oder neben an. Auch nachts um 1 Uhr werden laute Gäste nicht gemassregelt. Wasserdruck lässt zu wünschen übrig, Bett ist sehr kurz und schmal. Im Zimmer war es feucht.

Lo mejor es la ubicación, por el precio se entiende, bueno para sacar de un apuro o solo 1 o 2 noche

Tiene un comedor bastante agusto, tiene smart TV y juegos de mesa, conoces en su mayoría buenas personas y el personal es bueno. La ubicación es decente pero nada del otro mundo. Esta a unos minutos de la estación de trenes. Tiene maquinas expendedoras así que eso lo rescata bastante.

Las duchas no tienen nada de protección, es un cuadro con una cortina y el espacio es extremadamente reducido. No hay desnivel entre duchas así que todo el piso estaba muy mojado, sucio y resbaloso. No hay donde colocar pertenencias mientras uno se ducha. Las escaleras de madera están chuecas y rechinan bastante. Originalmente reservé 4 noches, preferí cambiarme a la 2da por algunas personas medio raras

Amazing location and a generous dining room, but this hostel falls a little short on basic amenities

location is really good. It is so close to a tube station, and a small shopping district so you can stock up on supplies. Breakfast is a bit strange, you're technically not allowed to go in the kitchen from 7am-10am because this is when the paid breakfast is...you can kind of go in anyway, but it's a bit awkward.

check-in was quick, but they didn't fully explain everything. room was poky. For taller people, will be difficult. Bathrooms are not the greatest. As a solo traveller I definitely wouldn't come here to party or meet people. Most of the guests were kids on group tours of London with their school.

It's a dirt cheap hostel: functional, but you get what you pay for.

Price and location.

Bathrooms were filthy, beds were uncomfortable. Top level bunks were open to the ceiling and light coming from others' lamps and from streetlights through the window.

Non lo consiglierei per soste più lunghe di uno-due notti. Io ho alloggiato per 4 notti in dormitorio ed è stato un po’

La posizione, la colazione per 6,50 sterline, ogni letto aveva la propria presa, lucina e tenda per privacy. Lavandino nella camerata ok, anche se in certi orari si potrebbe dare fastidio ai compagni di stanza.

Camera dormitorio piccola e TROPPO calda, inoltre un ricircolo di aria quasi inesistente e compagni di stanza tutti malati (riconosco che questo non è colpa dell’ostello). Nei bagni solo due lavandini, troppo pochi e prendersi un 10 minuti per lavarsi faccia, denti e truccarsi un minimo ti faceva sentire in colpa. Docce pensate un po’ male in termini di spazi e di comodità e non sono mai riuscita a lavarmi con l’acqua calda. L’asciugatore per le mani e quello per i capelli li ho trovati funzionanti solo una volta in 4 notti di soggiorno. Il giorno del check-out avevamo bisogno di un locker e siamo stati costretti ad andare a prelevare perché per qualche problema accettavano solo cash.

Carino ed economico.

Luogo carino ed economico in una zona centrale è vicino alla fermata della metropolitana, insomma un'ottima soluzione per chi non vuole spendere molto e avere lo stesso un discreto servizio.

Lo staff poco accogliente è freddino, c'era scritto che si parlava anche in italiano tra loro ma invece non era vero.

Loved it here, slept so well 🙌

Great hostel. Bed sheets were super clean and bed was really comfy. Facilities were clean, staff were friendly. And location is ideal for Euston, King’s Cross and for the nice bars and restaurants nearby. It’s a nice chilled crowd compared to other more party hostels nearby. I slept really well!

Bed and bathroom was a tad small, wouldn’t be suitable for someone really tall or who needs more space.

The spaces are not that big and the shower is a little uncomfortable, of course it is a hostel, for young people it is just fine.

Decent value for money

Having a kitchen was very useful. The location was very central and very close to the train station/food. Got good sleep in the beds.

The Hostel didn't meet my social expectations, felt very little social vibe. Just the vibe overall would be the reason I would try another hostel next time. The showers were cold!

Poor

I did not sleep well in the middle deck. The girl on upper deck pulled the curtains of lower deck at 1am. The girl at the lower deck shouted, 'what are you doing?!' after that the girl at the upper deck was making some noise, and the girl at the lower deck asked her to stfu. I was terrified throughout the night

Neat and convenient

Centralita located so it’s easy to get around the city. Rooms are fine, I stayed in a mixed dorm. There are rules posted around the hostel so they seem to run a tight ship, just retry sure it helps with keeping a nice environment. It’s not too loud but that would depend on your roommates. Communal showers are fine, they run with hot water. Facilities are cleaned routinely.

Bunks are a bit small. I’m of average height and I was almost too long for the bed.
