Basic, toilets were passable however not in large enough numbers on each floor. Breakfast was most welcome as were beds being made on arrival.

Pretty good for the money. Nice atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Definitely stay in the smaller dorm than the larger ones.

Sadly got bites from bed bugs. First and last time here. The bunk bed was basic but creaked everytime the girl above moved. Couldn’t sleep because of this. I stayed here as I was going to a work event in the evening and just needed a place to lay my head. The bed bug bites were upsetting to say the least.

Cheap room, good location. Only one small fridge and pretty strict rules meant I had in-date food thrown out twice. Kitchen is also closed at meal times for staff to make food for guests. And when it opens back up is at the discretion of staff on the day, they dont follow the set times. Bathrooms often flooded, and missing toilet paper. Rooms dont have fans which is an issue in the summer. Lock boxes under the bed are too small for bags. Staff were ok. Polite and attentive, but not particularly friendly (to me anyway).

Friendly, helpful staff. Good hot free breakfasts and dinners. Didn’t like the fact that reception allowed homeless people with just a plastic bag of clothes book in at 2am in the morning. Two nights in a row the whole room was woken up by drunk residents. One was aggressive, the other was just inconsiderate. Otherwise, a great place to stay.

people at hostel very social. some people were weird, but that's everywhere. the female dorm was clean and the fellow stayers were extremely supportive. free breakfast was like reheated heinz beans, hotdog wieners boiled, eggs, pancakes, toast, cereal. 7pm dinner was free if you signed up early enough. there is a female only bathroom n shower. everything was clean. no mold. no laundry though. close to main attractions. wifi hit or miss lowkey. staff was sweet. very active and social at night. the age range was from 20s to 30s, but there were many older stayers as well. There is a cat, the cat was cute. make sure you have shower shoes. ask for the bottom bunk. clean plates and there is a fridge.

Not often stayed in a hostel with so many amenities and extras, like the free breakfast, evening meals and drinks. Didn’t have the best nights sleep but this was due to the people in the room, which the hostel can’t do anything about!

Friendly staff and perfect more thsn perfect Spaghetti Bolognese. The rest wasn't good. Loud everywhere and the doors very loud until ithe night and morning. I slept maximum 3 hours each night. Wash bassins only extreme hot water. Shower area to small. The "Power" in the bathrooms for shaving doesn' t work. No electricy. You have to buy an adapter for UK but that is not useable in the bathroom.

Overall, this was good value for the price and the hostel is in a great location - close to the tube and there is a grocery store and multiple restaurants down the street. My one complaint was that when I took a shower, the drain was clogged and I was immediately standing in 4 inches of dirty water. Future guests should note the following: - The all-female dorm is two floors above the all-female bathroom. All other bathrooms are any gender. - There are no privacy curtains on the bunks - Dorms do not have quiet/curtesy hours posted - The kitchen is small and closed when the staff are cooking dinner. Dinner is limited to the first 30 people who sign up each morning. So if you have plans to make your own dinner, you can’t use the kitchen during normal dinner hours - Guests are not allowed to store cooked food in the fridge, so you can’t keep leftovers - The communal area is pretty small for the number of guests that can fit into the hostel. The hostel was not at full capacity when I was there but I often couldn’t find a place to sit and eat. Although in the summer, there are many seats to sit out in the garden - Each bunk is assigned a lock box for your items that rolls under the bed. I liked this system and the boxes are fairly large. - My bunk did not have a bedside light or shelf
