6/10 Okay

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

10/10 Excellent

It was well-cleaned and I had a comfortable stay.
SEITARO, 28-night trip

2/10 Terrible

This property is cheap for a reason. Initially I thought it was reasonable since I just needed a bed after a gig, nothing fancy. But the kitchen was really inadequate with the fridge in a lounge on the opposite side of the building. It's very unclean and very few utensils. I was in a dorm of six and there were only two plug sockets. The door locks felt like they might snap off. There's a sign when you enter saying "online bookings don't guarantee a place" so be careful with your plans. To top it all off I've come home covered in bites.

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.

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.

Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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
Jonathon, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is the cleanest hostel I have ever been in. They are cleaning night and day. The 24-hour reception is a real plus and will take packages for you and accommodate most requests. The adjacent Brazilian restaurant is great for when you need a hot meal without going out in the cold. Unfortunately they don't have a coffee machine, but there is a cafe whose hours in the off-season are erratic. Super polite and helpful staff always. The bus and subway are 30 metres away. Closest shop about 200 metres away. Supermarkets a short bus ride away. This is my second stay here. Fair warning, there is no lift so if you want something without stairs you'll need the ground floor, which is NOISY - not their fault, but cars, drunks, smokers, everyone makes noise outside your window. It's a price I'm prepared to pay for the convenience, cleanliness and friendliness, though.

Avoid at all costs.

Four bed dorm, two nights, and never again: two foot square shower in the room with absolutely no privacy; lift does not work, and the list could go on.

The room was stuffy when the windows were kept closed. I became ill and had to wear a mask because the room became so crowded. There were six of us in a four person room. There was only one usable kitchen and the refrigerator was kept downstairs.
