The beds don't even have a curtain, showers and toilets very small and impractical but clean. Very friendly staff. At night it's impossible not to be woken up, people turn on the light, talk etc. Quite close to the metro so practical. Cuisine accessible to everyone.
Very good hostel all the staff very welcoming and warm, I highly recommend
Nice atmosphere, great location, sociable people, clean plece. Good place for everyone who wants to spend a couple of days in London. I'd definitely recommend it.
The hotel was under renovation when I went, the staff is friendly. Everything went well.
