We only stayed there 3 nights but that was enough for us to realize how well located, well equipped (the bathrooms and toilets are perfect), and warm this hostel is, including a Netflix area. and Chill, great for meeting people.
Really does the job, the location is really good and the price is quite low. I recommend!
Shower a little less clean downstairs than upstairs but more than sufficient, very pleasant staff and comfortable bed
Dormitories with 20 mixed bunk beds with people of all ages. A pleasant experience. The people we met, whether in our dormitory or in the hostel, were friendly. The hostel upon arrival and departure was clean. Good welcome and friendly staff too. On the other hand, the corridor to go to the reception is small, which can make it difficult to move around with suitcases (depending on the time you arrive).
Very well placed. The breakfast at the top but the comfort is very basic. The walls facing the street are very thin. We could hear people whispering outside. Too noisy for me. The big highlight is that from this place all the endemic places of London are within walking distance.
