Liked: The location was great. Very convenient.

Disliked: The room was very dirty. There were stains all over the walls and on the bedding I used. And the breakfast was a joke, it was basically just toast.

Liked: Best deal I've ever seen for a place in central London.

Disliked: Lack of curtains made the room bright from sunrise (around 4:30 a.m. this time of year), nowhere safe to store luggage, had to pay for Internet, showers were disgusting, each floor only had one shower and one bathroom (they try to make it look like there are two showers, but I wouldn't share that room with anyone I didn't want to see me naked.

Liked: Its easy to get around on the tube from here but it is a little way out of central London.

Disliked: Only 1 shower on every floor (3 floors) And they put a fold out bed in the middle of the 12 bed dorm, so as to make it a 13 bed dorm. It was crammed and I couldn't access my luggage.
