The staff was nice, the location is pretty cool near the underground and some shops, the beds are ok, curtain, little stand to charge and locker under the bed but tou ear a lot of noise from the hostel and outside. My bedroom was right in the entrance so you have to pass in front of it to go to the bathroom

This is my first solo trip since precovid and staying with the friendly staff and travellers was a great start! Thank you.
The location is super; I got to a play at the nearby theatre! A bonus!
By the way, If you find a pair of black socketts near BO2 bed L could you please hold them till my return on the 24th? 😀

Every room sleeps about 18 people, so the hostel gets more money per room than the Hilton. Although we had a nice stay, it was extremely expensive for a hostel.

It was convenient for my needs and close to transport links. The accommodating staff and pleasant fellow guests made the stay enjoyable. The breakfast selection was excellent and plentiful.

This property is is well situated to both the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines, and it has great overground connections.
It bills itself as both a hostel and boutique hotel, which leads to confusion as the online FAQ are about the hostel, while the private rooms appear to have different, unwritten rules, but sometimes have the same rules?
For our private room, we were informed we would have to rent towels, then that towels were included. We were never told we couldn't eat or drink in the room, and there was a coffee/tea station in-room, but were stopped from bringing food and drink in as it was against the rules. So, there were some contradictions that hampered the ease of our stay.
Also good to know is that they don't allow check-in before 2PM even if the room is ready, making for a long queue at exactly 2PM. We found this out after a different staff member had said we could check-in, and another person was checking-in directly in-front of us at 12:45. But we weren't permitted to check-in. So. There are some communication challenges at this establishment.
The room was clean and comfortable though, and it was conveniently located.

I really loved this spot, I had a single room so I can't comment on the common sleeping areas. It was overall clean and welcoming. They had great common spaces to sit and relax. The only mini flaw is that the kitchen is really small and when the hostel is full, you may be waiting a while to use it, but at least there is a kitchen!! I would stay here again.

The check in was smooth thank you for making us feel welcome. The facilities were clean, in good working order and there was complimentary tea and coffee. The shower was pleasant, nice and hot. Slight drawbacks were lack of air conditioning. The fan they provide is powerful but noisy. Oh and the lights in the bathroom turn off automatically if it doesn’t sense movement. Problem is if you are showering for longer than five minutes it’s turns off. It’s only a minor issue though

Great building, beds are super clea, always. Sheets always smell fresh, despite the fact that the turnover of traffic is huge. Never experienced this anywhere else.

I booked an all female 8 bed room, and had I known it would be in basement, which was by far the least updated and most dirty of the floors, I would have booked at another location! The bathrooms were filthy, and the doors were so heavy, you heard everyones coming and goings throughout the night- and with a pub on the basement level, that was frequent! Overall this was not an enjoyable stay, and I feel completely bamboozled having been placed in the basement, which isn't clear in the pictures and I will note that the pictures that are on the listing page for the property of the basement rooms look SIGNIFICANTLY better than the room I was actually placed into. The only reason this isn't a one star rating is because the location was good being close to two tube stations, but otherwise absolutely dreadful and I would NOT recommend!

A clean room and comfortable beds for reasonable fees in this beautiful and fascinating Victorian building. Breakfast in their restaurant was hearty and delicious and totally worth it. Location is close to Tube and buses, easy walks. All staff was friendly and helpful. That said the doors are all very substantial and you hear people opening and closing doors at all hours. Overall A- and I would definitely stay here again.

Very safe and clean experience- friendly welcome for reception desk every time I passed. Private curtains around bed plus huge storage drawer underneath that held my entire rucksack! Showers clean, hot and powerful. Lovely breakfast with fresh pastries and loads more choice in pleasant area. Recycling points everywhere. Lots of space in room. Women only room plus next door toilets/showers. Lovely hostel, the best I've stayed in!
