Liked: Great common room with TV and kitchen area. Lots of computers for the internet.

Disliked: Paying for the internet was really expensive! The bathroom on the first floor was pretty terrible - like a sweat box without ventilation and you could not change the water temperature in the showers. Although the bathrooms on all other floors were cleaner and newer.

18 August 2010 Elizabeth would recommend this property

Liked: Tv room with DVD's for hire. Well equiped kitchen and very clean. Was in a pretty good location, short stroll from Kings Cross St Pancras and easy walks to basically all central London if you don't want to Tube it. All in all very nice. All it needed was a bar and then socialising would have been better.

Disliked: Elizabeth left no negative feedback.

17 August 2010 Lauren would recommend this property

Liked: This place is awesome, the only thing letting it down is the bathrooms, which are being refurbished so hopefully soon this place will be a 9 instead of a 7! (The Bathrooms only had way to hot water in the shower and were quite old).The only other thing is the kitchen- could use a few more pots and some tea towels! Otherwise funky, cheap, helpful staff, everything you could want in a hostel!

Disliked: Lauren left no negative feedback.
