The rooms are very basic and small, not clean - I saw silverfish in my room, the room had very limited airflow, and VERY hot to the point I was feeling sick, even though I left my windows open the whole time (and it was very cold when i visited), after complaining they changed my room but even then, I wouldn't recommend staying here.

6/10 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

2/10 Poor

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.

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.

This hostel was everything my husband and I needed it to be; a cheap, clean, nice place to stay in London. There’s even a bus stop right outside the building, so using public transportation was also easy and saved us a lot of money.
