25 July 2011

Liked: The staff were friendly and fairly helpful.

Disliked: It wasn't very clean (the showers or the dorm rooms) and the door to the room didn't lock once you closed it. It was quite hot downstairs and fairly cramped for the number of people staying there. The power points in the dorm didn't work which meant I couldn't recharge anything at night

18 July 2011

Liked: Well priced, perfect location. Not too overcrowded. Good breakfast and showers.

Disliked: It was very noisy in the hostel. The room I was in backed onto a second reception room, and the door of it screeched and slammed (really loudly) throughout the whole night. My sleep was interrupted throughout as a result and I felt really rough upon checking out.

09 July 2011 Lina would recommend this property

Liked: They've done a good job with a relativly small space. Nice colours and design. I really liked that you have curtains around your bed for privacy and you felt safe because of all the codes that one has to have to get in to the hostel itself and to the dorms. The location is also good. Right next to the pub Millers, McDonalds, Starbucks and of course Kings Cross station. I would recomend this place and i could stay there again.

Disliked: It's a hostel, so it is very small and crowded, obvioulsy. The breakfast was a sad sight (toast and that's it) but it's good that they offer it for those who don't have the money to go to a Starbucks or something in the morning. People weren't very talkative and social, they just kept to their own groups so you didn't really get to know any new people at the hostel. And cold showers, but that was more of an experience than something bad. These are just small details. This is a good hostel all in all.

Liked: It is very close to the St Pancras and King's Cross. I needed to take an early train so it was nice that I just had to walk for like 5 minutes to get there.

Disliked: I stayed in a 17 bed room and I felt I was in an army bunk... The kitchen was dirty and full of drunk people.

Liked: It was good located, the staff was nice and the beds had a curtain so that you could have privacy if you want to. On the other side of the street there was a Tesco supermarket so that you can buy everything you need.

Liked: Good location, right by Kings Cross underground. Safe location. Nothing outstandingly great about this place, but cheap/good for its value if you're trying to find places under 30 USD

Disliked: We were in a 17-room and space was VERY cramped. We stayed at another hostel in London later which was a 21-room and they were very spacious. Staff weren't openly helpful.

10 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I needed an overnight at St Pancras between trains, and for ten quid this was a much better option than slumming it on a railway station floor! Clean and comfy bed, with privacy curtains, very well located for KX/StP.

Disliked: Very crowded dorm, narrow staircases, generally cramped.

Liked: It was very centrally located, great value for money, and clean.
