Pleasantly surprised ! We had a private room which was great, had a full size fridge and good size bathroom. There was a cold water refiller which is always nice at a hostel. Kitchen only had 2 bowls other than that we had a great stay !

The rooms themselves are nice and clean (we stayed in a private double) however it was let down by its poor communication and lack of staff. Prior to arriving we rang and emailed multiple times about instructions for late check in but no reply until we chased. Also no-one told us when we stored our bags that you would not be able to access them between 12-2pm! We had a bus at 1pm and the receptionist had not told us about this when storing the bag, plus there are no signs about this anywhere! This was very stressful and AGAIN no-one picked up the phone when ringing the out of hours number.

Great for solo travellers

A great affordable option. 10-15 minute walk to the Strand and Ferry with convenient bus routes nearby. The kitchen, laundry and social areas are well kept up and had everything I needed for my stay. My only complaint was the construction work that was going on at the time, which wasn’t mentioned online before I booked my stay, and resulted in several bathrooms being unavailable and I had a circular saw running right outside my window as early as 7 in the morning multiple days. Check in and out were easy and the AC in the rooms was more than sufficient. Overall great if travelling by yourself when you don’t want to cash out for an expensive hotel
