I liked the location - it's the nearest place to the center that you could get for the price. But this is the only good point about it. The rooms are ridiciously small and you suppose to share it with others... I am glad we were four and got 4 bed dorm just for ourselves, otherwise it would be very unconfortable as you can not pass the room without bamping into eachother or somebody's locker. The room, sheets and showers were really clean, but the matresses and pillows seemed like they were used for centuries :))) Breakfast - not worth waking up between 7:30 to 9:30 :)) and check out at 10 a.m. is the worst... Recomendation - don't stay there alone, but if you are with group of friends and on low budget - go ahead, the location will compensate it all ;) ! P.S. Note, that the price does not include VAT...

Good location and good security. Beware of extra 15% VAT to pay when you get there, not sure why it isn't just upfront on this site to begin with instead of being in fine print.

Not much to be honest. It was cheap, thats all I can say, but i suppose you get what you pay for. When I arrived, I had to pay a £10 deposit for the key when when I went to pay, would only take cash, things like this could be mentioned on the site, as I rolled up expecting to pay the remainder on my card.

There was internet and Laundry but you had to pay extra, as was a locker. The kitchen/dining area was tiny, and couldn't accomadate much more than 10 people, even though the hostel had many more staying there. Grungy room, not clean when we checked in. We felt the need to wear shoes in the shower. Also they started painting while we were staying there so there was paintfumes everywhere

all stairs! showers are a bit dodgy, staff are not the best - renew your keycard every morning, tell you to take the wrong bus, forget to tell you that you are moving bedrooms, fairly blunt. ten pound deposit that they have a lot of terms on so they can keep it. good location as camden is a great area. breakfast is fairly average - toast and cornflakes.
