Fabrizio, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall the hostel was good; good service. The breakfast was decent enough, and the beds were comfortable. When checking out I did see that the duvet had a nasty brown stain (I dare not speculate what the stain was). I must have been clear that the spot when they did the bed prior to our visit. I would not mind going to this hostel again, but next time I will inspect the duvet before using it.

HAd a lovely 3 night stay. Room was clean and quiet. Good location. Can’t say much about the breakfast but that wasn’t important to me.
sydney, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Steps for top bunk are terrible and hurt my feet. I hate the bathroom in the room style with nothing else available on the entire floor so if someone is in the shower or toilet for a long time you can’t do anything about it if you need to get ready or use the loo. Front desk nice enough. Lounge area on basement floor is cool but loud. Good wifi. Ok location. Close to food but not in the best area safety wise. Lockers were in the middle of the room stacked. Never seen this or having the full bathroom in the room at a hostel. Horrible design because not only are they too small for anything more than a backpack but if you wanted to try to fit your suitcase on the top lockers you can’t if your bag is heavy.
Savannah, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

They overcharged my card by $1600 and wouldn’t answer any emails.

marie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I didnt received an email with £1 discount. Guy at the reception had no clue. Basically all guys at the reception had no knowlege and they seemed annoyed when I asked them for more info or help. Cleaning staff should work at the reception as they were very friendly and helpfull. It was too much noise in the dorm. Overall last year I had much better experience.

Room was clean but don’t forget ear plugs as I ended up in a dormitory with roommates who caused terrible night sleep. Limited breakfast choice for the price paid
Lindsay, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was the ideal hostel for me. Having built in curtains for each bed added a fantastic bit of privacy, plus a safe, outlet, and fan for each bed on top of the lockers was perfect.

Lina, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and the shower had great hot water and high pressure. The toilet was a bit finicky, though, and one of our faucets wouldn’t shut off all the way, so it was slowly dripping water. There are a few trains close by, making it easy to get farther away. The Tower Bridge and other attractions are an easy walk away.
Thomas, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Honestly the best hostel I have stayed at. If you are a single woman stay in the female 6 bedroom ensuite!! It’s so big and there is a separate counter with sink for you to do your makeup from the sink that’s inside with the shower. The toilet is also separate so it’s so convenient in the mornings when getting ready. The area is great about a 5 minute walk to the Tower hill tube line. You also have tower bridge and the Tower of London within a 5 minute walk!
