The rooms are clean and showers are hot, and it is well located to get around the city. But if you have ANY problems with your booking do not expect them to give you any kind of money back and to change their policies around to avoid a refund. Also the room walls are so thin that you will EVERYTHING that goes on in your neighbors room.

very good the rooms; with the metro you can reach everything but it takes at least 20 minutes; no pans in the kitchen;

This is not a hostel this is a bording house. The whole place lacked atmosphere & staff weren't helpful at all, only gave us a map. Internet was very dear & very slow. Don't expect to sleep past 6am as they are doing renovations & are very loud. Construction workers would walk straight passed our window so no privacy or security. No hooks in bathroom to hang towels. Place looked new but very poorly finished (shower doors do not meet up, door handles very dodgy). Wouldn't stay here again.

The location was close to the tube station, which let out into a mall with a small grocery, coffee shops, and a couple of places to grab a quick bite. the front desk was very professional & kind. There was also a little spot to buy coffee & drinks & snacks. We had an ensuite room which had a great bathroom & very clean! They are currently doing some renovations so it looks like they are keeping things in good repair! The only thing that would be better is if they had free wifi! You had to pay!

Stayed there two nights and both nights were loud. There were multiple disputes between guests and the employees. Police were called to settle the disputes. Terrible service.

Firstly, I paid for a single room and got a whole double room to myself. It was clean, and bigger than I expected. The location of the hostel is good. The door on the room was terrible and hardly blocked any light or sound. The sound of anyone walking past the room or the lights turning on in the hallway would come straight into the room. It was like there was no door to the room at all. The kitchen was basic, but it had a microwave and oven. No cooking utensils or pots or pans.

I didn't really enjoy my stay at this hostel. For one thing, the place is a maze, I had to go via South Africa to find my room. The place is sterile and echoey, full of slamming doors and distant chatter. The building itself is nice, very modern, but it lacks atmosphere. I had to pay extra for wifi. The staff weren't particularly friendly and there is NO BREAKFAST. Having said all that, it was the cheapest place I could find in London, and is probably ok if you're only staying one night.

The bedroom was so old and had a dirty carpet and curtains. The bathrooms are shared between men and women, but are new and the cleanliness is ok. The hostel is near from an underground station. This station is good, because there are buses too, but this station is a little bit far from the main attractions. Something that I really didn't like was to pay for the wii-fi, besides there is no elevator to get the rooms. And we just can say the hostel is cheap because is in London.

Hi, The hostel was very noisy! We had a private room (number 20) ground floor. We spent 3 nights there and each time we heard poeple speaking loudly at about 2/3 A:M.... Anyway, the hostel is well situated just 2 minutes by walk from Hammersmith station which is on main line (Piccadilly line). 25 minutes to picadilly cicrus, 30mn to airport heathrow. cheers

I stayed for 2 nights in a twin room with shared bathroom. The Hostel has an old part (red doors, old floor) and an excellent made new part (glazed tiles, new kitchens, new bathrooms & showers, rooms with fridges and enough space for the luggage). My room was in the newer part and I def. can say it was worth the money. The only disadvantages were that payment by creditcard wasn't accepted by the staff and that they didn't had free internet. But I def. can recommend the stay.

It's very near the tube,lacation is good. It's just newly refurnished,everything is band new.If you get the shower within 3 minutes,you could get the water stop 6 times. The shower water automatically just run about 26 second and stop. You should push the button again and wait about 4 secnds for water. So you could get hot....cold.....hot...cold .....hot ..cold......?? . And there is no any hook to hang your clothing.Please improve.

Very clean place, looking more like a hotel than a hostel. Good value for the money as Tube station is close. Internet is not free. You can use the shared computers for 1 GBP / hour and log in multiple times. If you purchase some wifi code it will be available for only 1 hours since the first connection making it quite expansive.

Ideal. I'm staying there once or twice a week at the moment and have absolutely nothing bad to say. For value for money it takes some beating. Rooms are always clean and functional, staff have been great and I can't fault it. If you're after functional with great access either into London or out to heathrow, I'd highly recommend.

A very friendly, welcoming place in a great location. It's quiet...unless yr room is directly opposite a kitchen. The facilities are all newly renovated...though they could have thought of putting hooks in the showers or at least a shelf for yr soap etc. And...perhaps as we're older, we did find the ancient mattresses a bit of a trial. But, the area is fantastic.... close to transport and lots of cheap places to eat.

Very clean and newly renovated hostel. Situated near Tube station and buses in a nice neighbourhood. Quiet and with new beds, toilets, kitchens and bathrooms. I can only recommend it. Lotte from Denmark

Very nice hostel with good location. Just minutes away from Hammersmith Station on foot. Rooms and public areas very clean. Kitchen and shower facilities also very nice.

The bedrooms are good! The bathrooms looked very good but there are too less (big) mirrors and no brackets to put your clothes on! I also putted my clothes somewhere just afte the woman cleaned the bathroom, after that, there were big coloured places in my clothes because she used chlorine and after using she did not make the place dry! I complained about it and they gave me 5 pound for this problem. I prefer to sleep with only woman in a room and I think its able to realise this!

ottima posizione. servizi ridotti al minimo essenziale:stanze piccole, ma pulite. piuttosto rumoroso.
