I liked it

Despite the pleasant nights, the hostel is in very bad condition .. Sleep at midnight, standing at 7am to avoid staying longer in this hostel. Breakfast is acceptable (fresh apple juice, milk ('' normal '' or soy), orange juice (it did not seem to be put a fridge ..), 4 cereals and toast toasts). I still wonder if one of the people who held the reception spoke English well .. Certainly we are not 100% bilingual but we used simple words, sentences simple story to make us understand but as soon as we spoke to him in English (gently and articulate well) we had to systematically repeat several times, see to mimic to make us understand (which is not nice when we want to make efforts in English .. We saw two other people to The hostel was very friendly, quiet and polite, however, the hostel is extremely well placed for easy walking to see Big Ben and the surrounding area, and transportation (bus and metro) is also 5 minutes away.

good welcome

Good reception, impeccable bedding and nice breakfast !!

Not far from the center, good reception and clean! Perfect for a short getaway to London

Pleasant stay for a few nights in London

The common area was nice! The coaches look infested with God knows what, but the tables and chairs are super nice!

good location and attractive price

The lobby area, we could choose a movie and just watch it on the coach when it started raining outside. There were also books, computers and a pool table. The price was very compatitible considering the location. We walked every day beside the river seeing Londons most popular attractions. The breakfast was included! We were served cereals, müsli, toast, tee and coffee, a great way to start a day! The Atmosphere was peaceful

Location ok for exploring London. Reading lights over beds.

Good location, cheaper than our other options

Good atmosphere.

brilliant location, it was simple but had everything you could possibly need!

General perception: TOP

There was almost always a free shower and toilet. The 15-bed room I stayed in had a wall in between, so that it didn't feel like it was TOO packed. Cool people staying there! (some played guitar in the kitchen in the evening) The location is ok, but not too close to the London Eye - check the map beforehand if this is a criterion for you.:)

Enough space and kind and social environment

Location and good showers.

The location was perfect and the staff were very friendly and very helpful, overall a very clean, friendly and safe place to stay.

Everything

The hostel is clean & have everything for the basic needs. It was affordable and cozy for backpackers and travellers who wanted the best for less. This hostel is more than I expected.

I did not like anything

Great location (5 min walk from the subway), the beds are cleans and comfy, the common room was good too. Quiet hostl.

To sleep take another hostel

Everyone staying in a hostel in a London needs to be aware that the standards are much lower than anywhere else and thus to have more modest expectations. In my twelve-bed dorm on the second floor at least, the triple bunks were much nicer than others that I have slept in in London. The sheets were white and clean, the beds were not too close (one along each wall) and with the window open the room was a comfortable temperature. The common room is not as sociable as that in hostels elsewhere, but it was quite large and better than others I have seen in London. The location is good for London: you can walk to the centre if you are not lazy. Although it could be larger and newer, the shower actually had good strength and temperature.

The fact that the staff were really friendly

Close to central London

Excellent staff and an all round great feel to the hostel. The staff were absolutely incredible, telling us what to do in the area, and were great to have a laugh with. Whilst breakfast was simple, it had everything you needed - a range of cereals and toast. At a great price, I would definitely go back again! P.S. Do the pub crawls they suggest, they were fantastic to say the least!
