Liked: The location was decent, nice area, close to the metro so easy access to the rest of London. Safe and clean.

Disliked: The walls were thin so it was hard to sleep at times. The colour scheme was hard on the eyes.

Liked: The location is in the "Piccadily Line", so it's good to go to attractions :D and staffs were good, breakfast was also good, and.. if you are active person, and wanna meet friends, you will love this hostel :D

Disliked: smoke area was outside of hostel, there was always noisy.. even after 12.. but If you are active person, and will go to bar in the hostel or come back to hostel late, it doesn't matter at all :D

Liked: Basics were there, didn't need to worry about safety.

Disliked: There was nothing extra except the basics. Showers were bad and the closest ones were under repair. Breakfast was cereal + toast. The place is good if you need a bed and nothing more.

Liked: The location is great and a welcome drink 1+1 is always nice... ;))

Disliked: The interier design of the hostel is quite horrible.... Blue - red - white - maybe royal colours but still a horrid combination to have all over the walls and doors and everything!

Liked: Located close to Russel Square Station, nice place to sleep and meet other people.

Disliked: There is no internet in the rooms, you have to stay in the common area to use it. It is only free if used from your own computer, and you have to get tickets for every hour. Also, it gets very slow when many people are using it.

Liked: the generator has a really good atmosphere. the staff are friendly and always there to help. the rooms are clean and the beds are quite comfy especially for hostel beds! there is cages to put your belongings in so you have security, just remember to get a lock for them. I have stayed at the generator many times before and so whenever i head to london the generator is the first place i check for availability. if your travelling alone its also great to meet people as they have plenty of common areas including a bar that always has happy hour every night.

Disliked: the one and only thing i would have to say that isnt the best is even though you get a continental breakfast included in the price, which is great, expect jam on your toast everyday unless you are prepared and have something else a bit more interesting to put on it!
