Ok but could be better

the family room (3 adults was so tiny that given one chair to sit on would have hardly left room for the luggage! The bedding was off and the mattress was very comfortable for a bunk bed. The toilets sinks and shower areas were clean but afforded little or no privacy.

The hostel is perfect for a 1 night stay. You get exactly what you pay for. The service was great, the lady at the front desk was polite and helpful. Of course its not a luxury hotel, but the room and bed sheets were clean, a bit dusty but for one night it did not bother me. The bathroom and toilets were also very clean. Everything is quite old and the walls are very thin so it is quite noisy, but, again, for 1 night it did not bother me. Overall, if I ever need a cheap one night stay again in London, I would not hesitate to book.

This property, while a first glance might have you thinking dissapointingly, is a very decent and perhaps great budget location in London to stay. It's in a nice part of London, and you're not far from the nearest station. The neighborhood feels pretty safe and there are restaraunts galore nearby. I thoroughly enjoyed coming back on the tube each night and settling in. The only problem I could think of with the property were the showers. The nozzles are far too close to the wall, so you really have to press up to wash your hair or face. Definitely book here if you want a cheap stay in London.

Although the hostel had a lot of guests they cleaned the restrooms just once per day. The cleaning staff did their best but when a lot of people stay there the restrooms need to cleaned up frequently. The dormitory was clean. It was also very loud during the night but the guests were not sensibilized to be quiet in the night. The staff on the reception were not so friendly and not interested in helping and supporting. The location is very good.

I've Stayed on and off for 2 weeks. Wonderful location at the boundary of NW and NE. You can go to London centre by tube or bus (I suggest upper deck of bus if you're not in hurry). Generally, it's a great hostel, no smell or small "animals/bugs". There's a low cost laundry at the end of the street if you need one. Just need to get used to the opening hours of the reception and kitchen. Cheers!

Don't stay there

The manager was friendly and welcoming but that was it. I don't mind basic, but it should be clean! Only the linen was clean,, dusty, dirty corners everywhere. Unfriendly warning notices about not keeping to your allocated bed etc (very strange). We couldn't open our window! The reception was dark and dingy - nothing like the picture and it was locked (only open 10-11 am and 6-9 pm). I won't be bringing my daughter there ever again!

Dirty & Smelly

The communication by Richard was excellent, however when I got there the outside was not overly welcoming, when I entered the building it was very tired and could do with a good clean and paint, there was a smell to it too. I was very fortunate to have been offered a room by myself, but I could not stay the night, the room was tiny with a triple bunk bed in, the room and corridor stank of weed and I just felt like it had not been cleaned, there was paint peeling off the ceiling, wall and a huge crack in the wall. The loo had used tissue paper on the floor and only half a loo roll left. The shower had an empty bottle on the floor, I just could not stay here, so had to change my plans and head home after the show I was seeing, plans for the next day had to be scrubbed. Its a shame through the quite time it was not deep cleaned and repainted. I would not recomend.

The room I booked the beds in was extremely small. Unless you're one for claustrophobia, I wouldn't recommend. The bedside light didn't work and there were holes in the sheet. Asked to know where the restrooms where and was made aware that there was only one toilet and one shower available for both males and females. The kitchen is decently sized, however isn't the most hygienic and the microwave was sitting in a pool of water when we tried to use it.
