8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2026
Loved the location, that there's a grass area over the road with benches and a park. Quick entry as you have to buzz to get in, you get your own key with a refundable deposit. There's food facilities in the building and vending machines. I have to visit London regularly so will be definitely staying here again. It also had it's own toilet and shower in my room
Only thing i can say is that it was a bit cold and the heating wasn't put on and that the room i was in was near a main road so was a bit noisy hence the 8 stars.

Decent stay, did have 1 problem with the room (finding some undergarments that didn’t belong to us in the curtains 😂) but other than that it was okay for the money
The undergarments in the curtains and it was a bit noisy but you kinda expect that from a hostel i guess
