17 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Very clean. They have a luggage storage which is helpful. And they're right by King's Cross which is a great location.

Disliked: The 3 bunk system is a bit difficult to maneuver and everyone has their belongings on the floor so it's hard to even get to the bed. The basement was always super hot compared to the rest of the building.

10 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: internet was cheap and wifi was free. breakfast was okay, too.

Disliked: the room, being a 17 person dorm, is really tight. 3 piled bunk beds with curtains - reminded me of being on a ship with a bunch of sailors in a very small space. if you book the room, know that it's tight!

03 September 2010 Tessa would recommend this property

Liked: I liked the fact that it had a communal living area, lockers to keep possesions locked away for only £1 a day and the fact that we had free access to the kitchen which made it easy to prepare a cheap meal rather than eat outside! The atmospehere was totally chilled out and I felt at ease.

Disliked: The kitchen, although well equipt, was a bit grimy. After eating and using some bowls and cups I washed everything up straight away but a lot of people had just left stuff in the sink, I know that this isn't the hostels fault but I think it should be made more or a thing for people to clean up after themselves. Also I noticed a lot of flies around the kitchen and microwave area which worried me a bit!

24 August 2010 Leah would recommend this property

Liked: Out of all of the hostels I stayed at, this was the closest to a house, not a hostel, in terms of the layout and amenities. Great place for the price.

Disliked: A LOT of people. Kind of dirty, and not a great location.

22 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Busy and lively

Disliked: Not brilliantly clean. Staff messed up our booking so we had to stay in a dorm. Although this was given to us for free, it's not very impressive. How hard is it to keep a record of bookings?

18 August 2010

Liked: the location nr the big train stations

Disliked: the staff were fine. the rooms were way too small and the building was really ugly. maybe just good for 1 night if you're going to get the Eurostar. The only other hostels I've stayed in in London were Astor Victoria and one I can't remember the name of but they were way better. In terms of interior decoration and the rooms one of the worst hostels I've ever stayed in. Sorry!

24 July 2010 Daniel would recommend this property

Liked: The location, the common room, kitchen and the big, though common, bathroom in the cellar. It's also cozy with the 18 bed plus dorms, though this might be a personal preference. There was a broad variety of food for breakfast and cheap internet.

Disliked: Cold water showers, though we did seem to be the only ones suffering from this. Bad ventilation from the kitchen. The dorms were small compared to the people sleeping in the dorms, and the beds were rather small. The receptionists were somewhat missing out...

30 June 2010

Liked: Good location, within walking distance of King's Cross station which has many lines running through it.

Disliked: The 17-bed dorm was really cramped, with triple decker beds and not a lot of walking space. You might get easily woken up by your many neighbours. Also, you must be wary of your room mates, because my money got stolen by someone in the room. The security uses a pin code system, so it's not hard to break into a room.
