Ok
It was friendly and excellent value
There were good social interactions between travellers, and the girls at the front desk, and the cleaning staff, are very nice.
It was close to a underground which made it easy to find.
Good price. Central location
Very good hostel, recommended for young people, nice atmosphere
Well
The staffs are communicative and helpful, the room is clean, the linen is white, and more importantly, the showers and the toilets are clean. Recommendation: I used the 9 bed and 15 bed room, and I can sleep well. But if you are light sleeper, choose less bed room. Choose second or bottom bunk, because it is dark after you close the curtain (no sudden light at midnight!). Choose the window faced bed, because it will smelled less and brighter. Use the toilet in the basement, because it is private. But use the shower on the second or third floor, because it's more private than the shower in the basement (the water is hotter too!). Use second floor one for stronger flow than third floor (the shower is only temperature-adjustable). For the hostel, can you provide bidet for the toilet? I will never get accustomed to clean butt using paper :D
Courtains on beds, new showers, free breakfast
Bed curtains were nice to have.
The Hostel is centrally located. The price was very good and breakfast is even included. You can check in 24 hours a day. Furthermore you can get earplugs and a map of London for free. The staff is really nice! You can even use the kitchen - Londons restaurants are very expensive so its very great to have the opportunity to prepare a meal. A supermarket is just around the corner. Also a tube station is just next to the hostel.
Friendly and helpful staff. 24h reception is great. Free breakfast (includes white bread, marmalade, Nutella, cereals, tea and juice). The location is really good, if you aren't afraid to walk a bit you can almost walk to all of londons sights.
It is a very gender fluid and trans friendly: mix dorms, common toilets with individual showers and WC.
Location and cleaniness
Perfect cleanliness and management, continuous improvements.
good location
They were very flexible for checking in and storing luggage. The rooms were very clean as well.
The location was great
Close to tube lines. A fair amount of showers and a large dining area.
Great location, easy to get to everything in Central London. Safe neighborhood, safe Hostel.
Location is fantastic. Right by the Russell Square tube station you are minutes from Piccadilly and Leicester Square. Good amounts of pubs and also grocery shops near by for eating out or eating in. Reasonably clean considering the number of people who stay there.
Great location, free breakfast, very reasonable prices!
Cheap and great location.
scam
Location, wifi picks up everywhere, the bathroom in the shared room was clean, the room was a bit hot but had a fan.
super well placed and personal listening
