The room was so tiny for 6 people. The reception lady is so rude. She wanted to charge me to store my luggage.She didn't accept cash payment. I don't recommend this place even for short staying.
By far the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The beds were larger than I expected, and the comforter was thick and warm. The breakfast was good. The staff were friendly and helpful—particularly Adi. She went out of her way to ask how I was doing, and we had some lovely conversations. If I come back to London, I’ll probably return here.

It was very cool into the nights sometimes.
Since one of the windows was open and could not be closed but besides that it was good
Cheap and good value - if you get it at the right price. We paid around £60 for a night, twin bunks ensuite. Acceptable for London - not too far from the centre. Beds really uncomfortable and noisy if you're a light sleeper

Disliked: Amenities
Room was in good condition. Private bathroom was very small and could have been cleaner. Lockers were expensive to rent considering that you could only place items in them one time (if you wanted to put more stuff in it would cost you an additional £5). Had a good stay Staff were all very helpful and nice.
Room was okay, however its noisy as the hostel is beside the main road and you can hear other people from other room talking and even banging the doors
