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.

It was a reasonably priced place to stay for a night or two, right where I needed to be. If you don’t plan on spending time in your lodgings, then this is a good choice as a place to sleep and store your belongings. I was in an 8 room dorm en suit, so my experience was dependent on my roommates, which was mostly ok. The bathroom shower/sink/toilet were clean, and there was an additional sink in room. The locker fit my stupidly overflowing suitcase, and the bunk was comfy enough. The only issue was the room itself was stifling with no airflow, which made the bunk feel claustrophobic and hot, despite there being a weak fan to circulate air by the bathroom. I imagine that’s not an issue during other times of the year. If you run hot when you sleep, bring a small usb fan, I wish I did lol. Keep in mind there’s no lift. That’s not a complaint, just a reminder. I was assigned to a dorm four flights up and have a bad knee, so that sucked. It didn’t occur to me to check about stairs beforehand. That’s my fault.

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
