Liked: First of all, considering its good location and provided services, the price for dorm room bed and breakfast was very cheap and good. I also enjoyed wifi internet before breakfast and the staffs were very kind.

Disliked: The walls outside of bedrooms were little bit old and seems to need painting. The shower pressure of one bathroom was little bit weak.

Liked: The staff were very helpful when checking in and willing to give advice on your stay in London.

Disliked: The bathrooms were a bit grotty but they were being refurbished during the time of our stay so they may be a bit nicer now. Our room also was tiny but as we were out all the time and staying one night, it didn't really matter.
