Liked: Really friendly staff, nice facilities, it's clean! good & included breakfast (muesli, cereals, toast, etc), good showers (I always had a got shower), good free internet connection (but problems in peak times), cozy living room (which is mostly crowded). all in all, a really good (basic) hostel!

Disliked: the triple bunk bed is not the most comfortable, especially if you dont sleep on the top! (but luckily I slept on the top, so no reason to complain) you have to pay extra for the lockers (1GPB/Day for a Laptop-sized one), which are outside of your room.

Liked: Location and price were good.

Disliked: The 6 bed room we had was VERY small and cramped, Hostel wasn't the cleanest, and the showers were a bit strange. But if you are just looking for a cheap place to stay in Kings Cross then you cant really go wrong.

Liked: The computers were free to use, the kitchen was clean, the bunks had privacy screens and the common room was great

Disliked: there wasn't anywhere to change in the shower without having to open the door- which a bit awkward when you have a tiny travel towel

Liked: Great location, close to Kings Cross Station and within walking distance from central London. Very handy to have a supermarket across the road too.

Disliked: Rooms were very cramped, too many people crammed into a small space, with very little space for luggage (once you have 12 people into a room). Hostel in general was quite cramped for the number of people that were staying there (eg breakfast in the kitchen and common areas). Which was a bit of a shame as I think with a few less people crammed in there it could have been a lot more fun to stay at.

Liked: The place where the property is located is excellent: 3 blocks from King's Cross, so it's very easy to move to any other place. The staff is very helpful.

Disliked: May be it is not the cleaniest hostel. However, I think it's because of the travellers. And I had to had a shower with cold water once.
