Liked: location- perfect. good well equipped kitchen
Disliked: not enough bathrooms. One male shower room for whole building and one other single toilet. Asked for photo ID on arrival which seemed odd as I'm a Brit. Never been asked in London so i don't carry it. They were ok in the end but seems a bit of an arsey rule.

Liked: Location was awesome! Ten seconds from the Mile and just minutes from everything else you'll want to see.
Disliked: Kitchen's kinda small and there always wasn't a lot of space to sit in the common room... but this is minor. I think I was there when this giant group of people were and we always were in those places at the same time.

Liked: It was in a nice location with lots of restaurants and shops around.
Disliked: The bathroom wasn't the greatest. Toilets always clogged up and it was hard to flush toilet paper down the toilet. There is no changing space for the showers. You had to leave your clothes outside of the shower and reach for them after you were done and just hoped that no one would see you naked. Also no ladders for the bunk beds.
