One of the best hostels I ever stayed! It has everything what you need, nothing more nothing less. Good value for money, simple but good breakfast, clean bathrooms, nice bar, some privacy in dorms with curtains aside beds, easy access from Swiss Cottage tube station.

I liked that the property had a lively atmosphere and free wi-fi which helps tremendously when trying to keep in touch with friends and family.

It's clean, civilised, and the curtains and lamps in the beds are wonderful for privacy and reading late at night / early a.m. This is the only hostel in London I will stay in instead of a hotel. Only one minor suggestion: could there be a hot water pot available at night for guests to make tea (and not the tea in the machine, which is awful?) thanks.

I really liked the hospitality and the atmosphere, everyone was so nice and friendly. It is a very safe hostel, you know that everyone respect each other and they won't steal from you, great feeling! It is a perfect place to meet new people; in the bar, your dorm or in the entrance, everyone talks and likes to to be social, perfect place to meet new friends to explore London with.

Good location staff and facilities. Breakfast included in price, dinner at restaurant about 5 pounds, only down side is lack of self-catering facilities although there is a fridge, microwave and kettle - be creative! Good atmosphere in chapel bar and decent prices. Great place to stay

Hostel centrally located close to finchley road tube station. Hostel looks great from the outsite as well as from the inside, traditional English style. Toilets/ showers are very clean. Breakfast basic but good!

Bar/pub in the basement had £1.50 beers and had a lot of friendly people. Spent more time at that pub than the real ones because no one was a stranger there. Had a very nice time.

Overall a nice hostel, the 28 bed dorm is fairly cramped though, and your experience of this hostel may depend on whether your neighbours are nice or not! The food in the restaurant was very nice. Loads of Aussies staying there, this may or may not be what you want so bear it in mind!

Everything was just fine. The beds were quite comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and hygenic. Would come back or recommend the hostel to others.

24 hour help desk, no curfew, great neighborhood even if it is off the beaten path, a variety of people stay there it isn't just college students so it is great for people who are older, couples, families, or people staying by themselves. This place is clearly set up for a variety of people with different backgrounds not just college students which it what makes it so attractive for people like me who are over the college scene.
