This was a late night booking where I needed last minute accommodation. I appreciate that hostels have a time limit for check-ins, but if that is known, why allow the booking to be accepted? Paid for the room but was not allowed to check-in due to it being late at night; I accept partly that's on me, but was anxious to find somewhere and not be left in the cold. Staff were sympathetic, but couldn't let me stay. Not impressed with the site at all and lost my money.

Good: great desk staff, and amenities like washer&dryer, toiletries and snacks for sale. Great location near St. Pancreas/Kings Cross. Bad: You can barely fit your body between the rows on beds, back to back. If you are on a bottom bunk, you cannot even sit up in your room. Bathroom is so small and the shower is always dirty (from heavy use.) Literally no place to put on clothes or sit down to tie shoes. And very crowded even in October. I’m a 50yr old female who stayed in a mixed gender room. It basically smelled like feet, mostly from young men. I have stayed at many many hostels throughout my life. I don’t mind sharing space, but I need enough room to turn around and sit down. This hostel doesn’t meet that requirement. I will not stay again.

Small bed, my feet hung off. Very public if you're on top bunk. Very hard to get into top bunk, when someone is, it shakes the entire row of beds. Sounds wasn't an issue with plugs. Shower nice. EVERYTHING is an optional extra : towel, shampoo, padlock for locker.. etc.

Great stay in a fun and clean hostel environment. Clean common areas including bathrooms and showers, free luggage storage when we left on a side trip for a couple days. We, as 2 adults and our 10-year old, stayed in the 4-bunk private room during both stays. The room was cramped and we kept hitting our heads from the lower bunks, and it didn’t have AC (did have a fan). Regardless, I would stay here again and look to stay at more hostels in the future.

Nice service. Friendly atmosphere. Pod gave me good intimacy, however, the bed was a bit hard and pillow too thin. A better air conditioning system is needed as it tends gets too hot in the pod in the summer. Shower floors were a bit dirty as well

Period and quirky; great age mix in clientelle - all over 18 appear to be welcomed and children if with supervising adult. Great bunch of staff, keen to make you feel at ease, with events, chats, social activity or equally keep a courteous distance if it looks like you want to be alone.

This might of been my 4th time staying at this hostel. Its very convenient place if you need to catch a early train. The station is only about a 2min walk from the hostel. There are plenty of good pubs and restaurants close to the hostel. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hostel is really affordable for the location.

Only stayed for one night so it was grand for what I wanted, but the pod was absolutely roasting. I had to have the little fan on the whole time but it wasn’t enough and I also had an issue with another guest complaining about the sound of the fan. Other than that, the pod was fairly spacious, two different lights, one for reading and one for ambience which was great! Staff were all extremely friendly and helpful too! The only thing that would keep me from staying here again is the heat issue

Reception staff was very friendly, I booked a eight beds dorm, the room too small for 8 person. Under heat wave without air con ( or good ventilation）was a nightmare, the room got one big fan only on the floor, and two small windows in the room. Bed so uncomfortable, had a low back pain next day. Door sound loud

It was an ok experience. bed was nice. the hostel has a good location.There were three showers. The first shower was in maintenance and the second one was cold. So there was only one proper shower.

If all you need is a basic bed for the night this place will do. Room felt a bit like a prison cell but its a hostel what else can you expect. Showers were clean but lack anywhere to put your clothes whilst showering.

Really unsafe. Rooms were poorly lit and ventilated. No proper air conditioning so was uncomfortably hot each night. Would not return again and do not recommend to anyone looking for a cheap stay you can find safer accommodation elsewhere.

The hostel is located right near Kings Cross station and the Russell square area. Which is a convenient part of London. The staff are helpful and hospitable. The hostel has a good kitchen and common area. Over all its definitely one of the better hostel in London that I've stay at over the years. I will be returning again soon.

I liked that it was affordable, within reasonable distance of almost anywhere you’d want to go, and seemed relatively safe. I liked that instead of key cards, you are given a code, which means one less thing to keep track of. I did not like, however, that showers were not in individual/lockable spaces, and within the shower cubicles there wasn’t much space to put clothing/toiletries/towels/etc without it getting drenched by the time you finish showering. But overall a good experience, better in most respects than many other hostels in the area.

The hostels is close to King's Cross and the location is really well-served day/night. I booked a room for girls (4 beds) and I tried the breakfast. The room was really small, only for sleep (no chairs, sofá, tables, wardrobe), no space for walking. Anyway, the hostels has a lovely kitchen and common area, where you can stay and relax instead of staying alone in the small bedroom. You can cook with other guests and make nice friends like I did. Staff was very nice and welcoming, cleaning is okay. This hostels is really cheap and nice if you travel alone. I was in the firsf floor and I think toilets and showers are not enough, too many people. The washing machine was out of service for all my stay, it means that I had to buy extra clothes because I couldn't wash mine ones.
