Location was good , in the heart of the city , no parking there , restaurants outside everywhere. Subway is waking distance, buses as well.
Cozy place to stay in.

Great location close to a lot of awesome things in London! The breakfast was great.

The vibes in the hostel are great. The staff is really attentive and a lot of fun. The room is very functional, but well laid out. The bed was pretty comfortable. Bathroom was good, shower pressure great. Everything was a bit worn, but OK.
The big downside was the limited ventilation available, limiting sleep. Granted, we were there during a heatwave, and the whole building (except the lobby and restaurant), got very hot. The windows could only be cracked open with two inches.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
Location, World Cup was showing, room was pleasant, met some nice people.
Oh water provided during the heatwave conditions.
Too many outsider groups, lots of kids of all age groups, was a bit uncomfortable when they were walking around 10pm-1am in nightwear.
Didn’t like there was no kitchen to make your own breakfast/dinners or store food.
Many areas for only guests not staying customers.
No A/C.. provided fan was not great.
