HOSTEL - NOT a hotel. No amenities. No WiFi except for in the tiny office area. Paper-thin walls, loud slamming doors on rooms, squeaking springs/hinges, etc. SO LOUD. Decaying shower and toilet rooms. Tiny rooms with no lamps and broken everything. No mattress covers (gross); lumpy, weird mattresses and pillows (only 1). Windows thin and barely functioning, curtains old and falling apart. Everything pretty unpleasant and cheap and old. IF you are fine with a funky youth hostel, and you can sleep through anything, then cool! If not, pay the extra £50 to stay elsewhere. I don’t know how they get away with being classified as a “2-star hotel”. The small Indian restaurant seems really popular = the only place that anyone is enjoying themselves in this building. Good thing: Hostel staff were nice.

Although I accept that you get what you pay for there were a few things that I thought should be fixed. There was a tap in the bathroom that was broken, there were many tiles that were broken, a door to the bath that wouldn't open fully and made access difficult. As for the bedroom, I had a pillow that appeared to have a spot of blood on it. The rest of the stay was generally ok and just gave me a place to lay my head.

The best thing about this property is the location. A mere stones throw from most attractions BUT the question is would i stay again and honest answer is no. I understood its a hostel but the condition of the property is in dire need of a lot of TLC . We had no heating, not hot water, tbh the tap barely worked at all. The mattress was aweful as was the door slamming all through the night. Reception was friendly and were accommodating but that was it. Id suggest getting a room at the back of the property to avoid street noise.

I was very pleased with the place, especially the cleanliness and kindness of staff. The bed had a fantastic mattress, i had a great night's sleep. Lovely breakfast, served in a beautiful room!! The only down point was the fact that i was on the top floor, so A LOT of stairs to climbe!! Great value for money, I'm well pleased and would go back certainly!!!

Unfortunately were disappointed by our experience at this hotel, as they had accepted our booking with 2 of the 3 rooms placed 'on hold' as they didn't actually have the space. They didn't inform us until we arrived and so I had to scramble and arrange alternative accomadation instead of enjoying our reunion after the pandemic. Friendly enough service just not an efficient operation, can't comment on the rooms etc as we never saw them.

Location was great, in the middle of town and next to the river, easy to get to the Underground. The Hostel was terrible, dirty, run down and outdated.

Location, location, location! And the price was definitely right. That said, will look elsewhere next time. I can accept older, a bit run down etc. But there are little things a property can do that are very simple and costs hardly anything. The shower had one tiny hook in the room. The bunk beds were cheap and rickety. Every movement heard and felt. The only mirror is in the room, nothing in shower room. Makes shaving difficult when you’re trying to respect sleeping roommates. No hooks in room either. Small shared closet though so that was ok. Public areas were charming, however for a period in the evening it’s unclear if you’re welcomed there as it becomes a busy bar for street traffic. So awkward place if you just needed to relax a bit and use the wi-fi. Very nice staff and the included breakfast, although basic, was appreciated.

The only thing this hostel has going for it is the location, but still can NOT RECOMMEND! Here are the issues I had: - Difficult to find, poor signage and unfriendly check in - gave feedback to reception that there weren't even any signs so you're not sure if you're going in to a hotel, hostel or Indian restaurant. They said the Indian owners didn't want to add signs as they have an Indian restaurant on the second level. - No lift. 5 levels of stairs if your room is at the top - that is a LOT of stairs with your luggage in a narrow, short stepped staircase. - The mattress I had was saggy and needs to be replaced. I could feel the spring in my back. - I was bitten by bed bugs! - Poor security - the door locks are key operated and don't work properly. It can literally take 5 minutes to open by jiggling the key which is not normal. So some people just don't bother locking the door because it's too difficult to unlock! I gave feedback to reception and they said 'you just have to jiggle it and keep trying'. Very unhelpful. - many toilets and showers were out of order. So I had one shower and one toiled for the whole level to use! That's just not enough. And the shower had a big puddle of disgusting water pooled between the shower and the door, so you have to step in it to get out of the shower when you're clean. I'd like to see the staff and owners of this place stay here themselves and see how they feel about the experience everyone has to go through.

I stayed here 3 nights with my 17 year old son. We were very well received. Friendly and helpfull staff. Svarede bath and toilet were nice and clean. No problems at all. Comlpementary shampoo, shower gel and handsoap. The room was small but fairly clean. On the downside: You can hear every sound from the surrounding rooms and from the downstairs India Club. The location is excellent. We will stay here next time we visit London.

This is probably the worst place to stay in London. The whole floor share one dirty, extra-small bathroom and two smelly toilet which stuck often and did not get any fix within the three days I stayed. They painted the door at the morning I left and put no notification, sign or warning so I got paint all over my coat and backpack. Seriously, avoid this hotel if you can.
