Nice place to stay for the money
If you’re looking for a place to rest your head at night, then this place is perfect. There’s no thrills or frills but for the price it’s great.

All the staff were friendly and helpful. Our 4 bedroom dorm was very clean and the bunk beds were comfy.
Tube station across the road and a direct bus to Wembley stadium. Very convenient and good value for money.

Outside of tube station and next to day and night buses. Small park opposite and staff are very friendly.
Be prepared that there is no tables or safes in the dorm, there is wash basin, shower room and beds only. Toilets on every floor.
It’s a nice place to stay the nights. Consider kitchen non exist but you can use a kettle to boil water for your own bottle. Value for money, it suits me and I am happy

The toilets could be better supplied and clean on more regular basis.
The room was attended/ tidied up just once a week..! Unacceptable.

Great location and it’s exactly what you pay for
Stayed for a concert at Wembley and this was perfect location, easy to get to and from even late
I’m not sure what some of the people on here are moaning about, it’s less the £20 per person so it’s more there expectations that need adjusting then the hotel/hostel itself

The entire building was kept well-maintained and the environment was comfortable. There is security available 24 hours a day, so you can rest assured.
The kitchen is fully equipped and you can enjoy beautiful views of London.
