It's a noisy party hostel in the main building. There is a second building nearby as well that is more quiet. You might be able to move from one to the other if you don't like something if you ask the staff. The location is great, soho and the city are easily within walking distance.

The staff were helpful but not as communicative as I would have liked. Additionally, guests were extremely rude. Overall, the location and facilities, including the locker storage underneath the bunk beds, were all good, but my interactions with people negatively impacted my experience.

Great location, friendly atmosphere, engaging staff, big sized rooms, correct beds (what you'd expect from a youth hostel), very satisfying breakfast, sense of security. Two remarks maybe : general hygiene and cleanness, while satisfying overall, could be improved (air circulation from the kitchen to the top floors most notably) ; while the staff could indicate to travellers that lights should be switched off in the rooms after a certain hour, to allow those who want to rest not to be disturbed

Only a couple outlets in a 12-bed room. Wifi was decent and worked in my 2nd floor room.

I only stayed there for one night. All in all it was OK but there were a few things that did annoy me. The room I stayed in was really overheated and full of loud and noisy people (which can happen in any dorm room I guess). But I think it is quite a 'party' hostel so if you want to get some sleep make sure you bring some ear plugs, an eye mask and something to fend off drunks (last one not necessary).

A group of us just stayed the one night - the beds were super comfy, breakfast was good and it was in an AMAZING location for the price per bed. I would definitely recommend staying in the hostel.

Very good place. I've been here 2 years ago and I returned. I think, that's the real result of good service =) Thank you!

The staff are very welcoming. The breakfast is the most generous that I've seen so far (juice, milk, cereals, bread, jams, honey, yogurt, even Nuttela!) but try to wake early to catch them all. The hostel let you leave your bag in their luggage (with no charge) during the day where you look for another hostel - if you can't book for another day ' so that really helped me a lot. I'm coming back soon and I don't have doubt that I'll search for them again.

Excellent location and kind staff, the price is also very good and it includes breakfast. The only bad thing is that the rooms are not clean and the cleanness in the bathrooms and in the hostel in general is poor

the location is great and the staff were very friendly. our room (4 bed mixed dorm) was clean and the beds comfortable. the bathrooms were clean and we never had to wait to use the shower. the free wifi worked great in our room on the second floor, but the free breakfast was underwhelming with an offering of cold cereal, toast, coffee and tea. i had read reviews that mentioned that you could hear street noise from rooms facing the street, but not that bad. never heard the other guests.

Of the 5 Hostels we stayed in, this one was the least up to date. One the good side it had great internet access and great/friendly staff and the building had a lot of character. Some of the things that it lacked or needed fixing: the window treatment in our room was broken/ the beds were older and some of the lockers attached were old and rusty or not working at all. The door to the room was in poor condition which I had to fix. For a four story building, it lacked an elevator.

When they said, they're located right next to the British Museum, they did not lie! Well connected to Tube and bus, too. Staff was helpful and super nice, breakfast room is a very nice huge kitchen, and you'll find everything you need. I enjoyed my stay and I think I'll come back when visiting London again.. (They do have free wifi, and old fashioned folks like me who don't bring their own smartphone/laptop/etc. can the reception's pc.) As I said, very nice of them!
