Great value, well-equipped place and convenient location for budget travellers. Within walking distance (10 minutes) to British Museum. Kitchen could be busy in meal time when cooking is needed. Fridge, hot water, small oven, microwave are also available. Grocery shops, cafe, pizza, underground station, bus stops are just nearby. Receptionists are helpful and friendly. Nothing to complaint!

Excellent Location

The location is just perfect. However, the 12 person room with bunkbeds were just not for me. If you can tolerate that than this hostel would be perfect for you.

It was really great. The staff was really nice and it was really inn. The location is the best only 15 minutes by foot to the center amazing ! The only flat was that it was really hot on the room.

Good place to stay in the middle of London.

It was a reasonably priced place to stay for a night or two, right where I needed to be. If you don’t plan on spending time in your lodgings, then this is a good choice as a place to sleep and store your belongings. I was in an 8 room dorm en suit, so my experience was dependent on my roommates, which was mostly ok. The bathroom shower/sink/toilet were clean, and there was an additional sink in room. The locker fit my stupidly overflowing suitcase, and the bunk was comfy enough. The only issue was the room itself was stifling with no airflow, which made the bunk feel claustrophobic and hot, despite there being a weak fan to circulate air by the bathroom. I imagine that’s not an issue during other times of the year. If you run hot when you sleep, bring a small usb fan, I wish I did lol. Keep in mind there’s no lift. That’s not a complaint, just a reminder. I was assigned to a dorm four flights up and have a bad knee, so that sucked. It didn’t occur to me to check about stairs beforehand. That’s my fault.

This was cheap and cheerful. Excellent value for money stay in a set of bunk beds with en-suite for less £100 in the centre of London near tube station and walking distance to all the attractions. Thank you

Standard dorm

Hostels always appear on my searches, so thought I'd hive one a go. It's what you would expect from a hostel, toilet and shower shared between the 9 of us in the dorm. Ladder up maybe could be better, lockers where very large, could do with some more hooks for towels (don't forget to bring your own) and better shoe storage. No food allowed in the room, although some ignored that. Note that it's age restricted to 18-45 years old only.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Like many other reviewers, I have to complain about the metal drawers at the bottom of the bunk beds. I thought I'd be ok with it because I usually wear earplugs. But those noises are unavoidable unless you put on shooting ear mufflers. I constantly woke up at night due to that noise and wasn't able to sleep well during my 3 day stay there. Although they offered the cheapest price for a great location, I would have picked a different place where I can at least sleep through the night.

It was great for the price and purpose. It was really just a place to crash in for the night for an early flight out of the city. Luggage storage, bed, quick shower.
