Generally it was a nice hostel in the middle of the city near the tube station. They cooked a good quality evening meal each night which wasn´t advertised and everyone sat around and ate it. The only things I didn´t like were the showers. They were ridiculously tiny!

The hostel is very clean and I like that there is a female dorm. Also even after checking out, we could keep our bags at the hostel and we are still allowed to use the internet and the shower.

The lady at the desk was really lovely, helpful and friendly. Also loved that the showers and toilets were separate, so a loo was always free.

Good location - easy access to many of the sights. Staff were very helpful. The dorm rooms are incredibly hot in the middle of summer and the common areas are noisy due to traffic noise.

Friendly and VERY helpfull staff, perfect location and a good price, only the windows in the rooms could be bigger to let in some more air in the summer...

The staff were awesome, especially the owner. Always friendly, good location, fast although temperamental internet, hot showers, quite a small hostel though so not neccessarily the place to meet people to party but still a warm atmosphere.
