4/10 Fair

At the end of the day, it is mainly a hostel aimed at younger travellers, so I can’t complain too much. However, I stayed in a family room with my children, and it’s probably not somewhere we would choose to stay again. There were no towels, soap or kettle provided in the room, which made it feel quite basic for a family stay. The walls were also extremely thin, and we were woken up several times during the night by noise from other rooms. It may suit younger travellers looking for a simple, budget-friendly place to stay, but it wasn’t quite right for us as a family.

2/10 Poor

Breakfast was okay but nothing to write home about. We did find it odd that it wasn’t consistent from day to day what was served. The room was literally terrible. Way too hot and small. Was rented as a double private room but the bed was super small so it barely fit me and my wife. Staff tho was super kind and helpful.

6/10 Good

While the staff was helpful, the property was not very well maintained and there were little to no amenities. The light in the bathroom was out, there was visible dirt in the rooms, the bathrooms smelled of mildew, and you have to pay five pound to rent a bath towel. Overall, not terrible for the price, but very minor adjustments could greatly improve the quality of the stay.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

£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.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

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.
