£19 for a night in central London — and I slept 13 hours straight. 4-bed dorm, only one other guest. Clean bed, fresh linen, en-suite bathroom, warm, quiet. No complaints, simply - just sleep. In an era where a pack of cigarettes costs more than a bed in Zone 1, some people still find reasons to complain. I found reasons to be grateful. This place does exactly what it promises. Nothing more, nothing less. And sometimes that is everything.

Second stay, same result: exactly what you need and nothing you don’t. Dorm to yourself practically, spotless room, proper bathroom, good sleep. Zone 1 London for the price of a night out - if you’re smart about travel, this place makes sense. No drama, no nonsense. Booked again already. A quick word on the atmosphere: despite being a hostel, it’s not chaotic. The staff are efficient and the common areas are actually functional if you need to catch up on some reading or emails. It’s rare to find a budget spot that doesn't feel draining. Still very happy with my choice.

Gross. The window would not close all the way. Very loud and noisy. Heard sirens and horns all night long. Could not sleep a minute here. They make you rent a towel for 5 pounds and don't even provide soap! Not even hand soap! The matress was less than 2" thick and was basically a cot. Don't stay here if you actually want to sleep.
