Room was clean and warm, staff very helpful and accommodating. Toilet on different floor to room (a few stairs away), shower on our level was clean. Great location.
Hostel made me feel like home. I arrived at night and the guy in reception was really friendly regardleas the time I arrived (2:30am) he was welcoming and cool, from London so gave the right spots to go. The place is clean, I had a chat with Flynn while having breakfast. The location is well connected to several tube lines. A good experience overall. 10/10
The accommodation was in a very convenient location and budget friendlh. The hostel had all the basic services and amenities. The staff were very friendly and helpful too
The hostel is right next to the British Museum, and close to many of the popular tourist sites. The staff is really helpful and friendly. I’ll definitely stay there again when I visit London in the future.
A very short 8 hour stay. 8 bed dorm was clean and spacious. Staff were friendly and welcoming.
I didnt get to try the leisure facilities due to lack of time.
I will be back

Liked: Staff & service
Had to pay an extra £90 for 2 night stay as extra fee since booked through Hotels.com. Hostel itself was fine, staff were great. Understand disclaimer that hotel may assess other fees. But didn’t expect 30-40% more.
The hostel was great. The reception lady and the manager were fantastic on check in. Very warm & welcoming. We had a 2-bed room a short stroll down the road. Room was clean, sheets were clean. Can't fault it for the price. A simple breakfast, but a perfect way to start the day. Good location to underground an small shop around the corner among other local attractions. I would use again if i were down in the capital!
