I like the location. it's nice to sleep in a four person room as well
they don't have a fridge or cooking facilities.
I like its location and its price.
I asked for a room with 4 beds and got a room with 6 beds.
Liked the rooms location in the building.

I liked that it was clean and that there was free breakfast. I wish there was an elevator. Staff were friendly, some more so than others. I had an overall positive experience. Some staff even helped me lift my luggage up the stairs, which was super helpful.
You get what you pay for when you stay in this property. It is a hostel so there is no maid service or towels but you have cheep, convenient and clean accommodation. The best tip I can give is to take ear plugs as it can be noisy at night with people coming and going.
It was a bit confusing because I was expecting it to be a hotel as advertised when it was actually a hostel. Breakfast is very poor and of low quality food. Shower area should be cleaner.
No beating around the bush- this place is horrendous in standards, I’d like to know how it passes inspections etc. However, for the price it is, in Central London, you can grin and bear it.
This place is very Run down!!!! It seems very nice in pictures but is not clean well, bathrooms are dirty and No toilet paper in bathrooms...i always had to walk to the front DESK in the middle of the night to ask for toilet paper!!! just needs to be maintained... Other than that is very closed to everything such as Metroo, restaurants, super market!!!

Nice location but some downfalls.
The eating room had a nice TV but only a microwave and no plates or cutlery and no access to sink to wash up. Was expecting better than this for a nice area of London.
One toilet on my floor had an overflowing sink. I reported it but it wasn't seen to straightaway.
This place is terrible in all sense of the word. The staff is rude especially the guy who does the night shift. They made a mistake with my booking and didn’t offer an apology and instead of helping me find another place to stay the two individuals who do the night shift sat there like two idiots. The guy told me to find another place and didn’t even care that I had payed money already. That guy is so rude he doesn’t deserve to be working with people. If he doesn’t know how to work with people he needs to find another job.

Anmeldelse
Da vi ankom havde hostlet ikke vores bestilte værelse ledigt, og vi blev derfor sendt på 8-mands sovesal første nat. Derefter fik vi et andet værelse, men måtte betale 100 pund ekstra.
Hotellets morgenmad består af toast, der kan ristes og dertil gouda-ost og marmelade. Det er det.
Værelserne er ok, men der er kakerlakker samt mus og opsatte musefælder.
Beliggenheden er super.
Der Preis, die Lage und Umgebung waren gut, jedoch sind die Betten unbequem und quietschen bei jeder Bewegung. Die Toiletten und Duschen sind sehr klein und umständlich.
I couldn’t even stay at this hotel because it wasn’t what was advertised. The room smelled like death, was dirty, no bathroom like promised. Staff was rude and unwilling to offer a different room.
Il soggiorno è stato tranquillo, ma era necessaria una pulizia maggiore per i servzi igienici in stanza e qualche accessorio tipo un tavolino, un armadietto e un phon. Nel complesso giudizio positivo, anche per la zona residenziale ricca di servizi e trasporti. Ci ritorneremo
Really big hostel (almost got lost going to my room) in a nice, quiet and pretty neighborhood. Room was nice and almost every bed had a plug for charging. Further the 8 bed room had mirrors and hairdryers making it easy to get ready at the same time.
