24 November 2011 Kelly Lauren would recommend this property

Liked: I liked that it was close to where my friend lives in London. Close to the tube and pubs and bikes for hire. It was suitable just as a place to sleep and keep stuff locked up.

Disliked: Very Very small rooms, and mostly co-ed, I think its wrong to have to pay more for girls only....guys are gross, stinky and snor. The shower room on my floor was out of service, so the ones on adjacent floors always had line ups.

Liked: The bar inside and the atmosphere.

Disliked: Although the hostel advertises that most of privates rooms have a bathroom ensuit, I might got unluck because my room 441 doesn't have bathroom. Too late check in, due delay on cleanning I only could check in after 5pm.

Liked: We felt very safe because of the 24 hour-security in front of the house! Also there are nice shopping facilities arround the hostel, the tube is near and basic breakfast is free. The staff was really nice and helpfull at all times. Although the rooms are rather small and basic (they don't look very cosy or nice), you can't complain considering the very fair price. And everything was pretty clean, even the bathrooms even though they are used by so many people constantly.

Disliked: If you have a late flight back home, the hostel only allows you to store your luggage until 9pm, after that you have to pay 18 pounds (= 1 bed) for it!!

Liked: Close to metro station, nice room, friendly staff, they try to help you in any way. Club music was not too loud (as I expected it to be - but we were always too sleepy to care). I liked the group room with computers.

Disliked: Everything was too small - room, bathroom, diningroom... Shower cabins are not really hygienic (group drains ewww), breakfast is the same everyday - if you stay there for a week corn flakes and marmelade become your worst nightmare - some small alternatives wouldn't be too much to ask for. It would be useful if we could use computers to transfer pictures from camera to USB, not only for internet access.
