18 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: location and staff

Disliked: 6-bed room incredibly small. not even enough room for our luggage on the floor surface. building quite old, poorly kept. poor breakfast. but I'd still recommend the location if you only need a cheap place for sleeping. very good location in camden, 5minutes from/to tube station. I'd go there again if I should need it.

Liked: Location is perfect, you get what you pay for too. Basic but it is all you need for a short stay in London.

Disliked: Sockets in my room did not work so could not straighten my hair, minor inconvenience as there was a mirror and working socket in the hall but would have preferred to not have felt a nuisance standing in a small hallway messing around with my hair.

07 April 2011

Liked: The location is good for young people. Near the subway.

Disliked: The beds are short for me (1,86 m) the batroom was in another floor, so was the showers and they could be a bit cleaner. the breakfast could be a bit better. Sometimes the staff could be more welcoming. I didn´t have an outlet in my room because it was right behind somebodyelses bed, so it was useless, so I had to use the receptions outlet. A bit far to try to walk to the major places. So you spend a lot of money on transport.

Liked: particularly the polite and helpful staff, cleanliness was okay for a hostel, 24h opening times and 24h staff at the counter, brilliant location in the middle of Camden - great!

Disliked: the toilet next to our room (40) didn't flush properly, I wouldn't recommend using that one... that's why I ticked the box between 'average' and 'bad' on cleanliness. Otherwise nothing negative to say! Remember it's a hoStel, not a hotel.

Liked: It is a good time and fun place to meet people with an excellent location.

Disliked: The cleanliness is terrible, the doors are always sticky. The kitchen is disgusting and full of ants, good luck finding some clean dishes. Also the staff will shut down the common rooms if to many people start having fun and having a few drinks.
