Showers were barely warm and the drain made them smell disgusting, add to that the puddle that formed in the shower because the drain didn’t drain properly

Disliked: Amenities
It was an okay stay. Great price for the location and being in London. The room was terribly small and the soundproofing was dreadful. We shared a floor with a group of students from France, and they spent multiple hours running around and shouting. We sent a complaint to reception, but nothing was really done.

There was a leak in the toilet, due to which water kept coming out in the room all night and the sweeper kept cleaning the water. I couldn't sleep all night, so I should get a refund.

Handy for the city of London

This hostel is in a good location, but really needs some money spending on it. Very run down, lots of broken fittings and facing an extremely noisy road. I couldn't stay here again. It isn't even that cheap.

It's a nice place for singles to be when waiting for the next flight abroad. The only problem is if the people in the room are snoring, your night would be sleepless. If I'm back in London, I'll probably consider this my first option.

This hostel was everything my husband and I needed it to be; a cheap, clean, nice place to stay in London. There’s even a bus stop right outside the building, so using public transportation was also easy and saved us a lot of money.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was the worst stay i've ever had in a hostel. Kids/teens running through the halls, screaming, and slamming doors until 2 to 3 am, smoking in their rooms and setting off alarms at 1 am. The showers walls and floors are slimy and unclean. The toilets are always dirty with pee and poop including the pee being on the seats, walls, and floors (not an exaggeration). Horrible hostel with no chance of repeat business.
