28 June 2010

Liked: It was available.

Disliked: Because the beds aren't assigned it's difficult to know who's where. It didnt look like the sheets of one of our beds had been changed from the last guest. The directions to the hostel from the tube were vague and not very helpful. 2 out of the 3 mornings we were there we had to wait 15-20 minutes in line for breakfast.

Liked: I paid £16 for B&B which was exceptional value for money. It is a bit off the beaten track but I think that actually made it better. Couldn't fault it for the price. Breakfast was filling and set me up for the day.

03 January 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It's a quieter hostel. No late nigh parties so it's easy to sleep. Although the rooms were a little tight, the beds offered a good nights sleep. The lockers are a great size and would fit most large rucksacks and have room left for more luggage which makes a change! The property is also secure and the area seems quite new and felt safe to walk around at night.

Liked: Directions to get there on the website are not 100% clear. Other than that it's not a cheap place to stay but it's a good price for London though. Breakfast is probably the best I have ever had at a hostel. It's worthy staying there!

The breakfast was excellent and there was plenty of space. If there was any comment of help, the kitchen self catering area could have been more accommodating for seating.
