Thanks for writing a review. We have our cleaners go through our hostel multiple times a day to ensure that our bathrooms and the rest of the hostel are clean and ready for the guests. We're sorry to hear you didn't find our bathrooms clean enough for you, but we will continue to try and improve and hope you'll try staying with us again.

Thanks for continuing to stay with us. We like to see guests return to the hostel as it's a good sign that we're a great place to stay! We look forward to you staying with us again soon.

Apart from some inane guitarist who thinks he is God's gift and whine's on until midnight scaring all the chics away .... the hostel is superb. Friendly and helpful staff. Kitchen very clean. Showers/toilets clean. Good value. Good breakfast. Really friendly atmosphere.

They are Great people. It was my first time in a hostel and I must admit it's been a much better experience than I expected. Lockers are secure and in front of reception, but they are a bit small for my taste, although they work perfect for laptops and things like that. Free wifi could work fairly better though.

Thanks for the kind words, we all appreciate hearing positive comments, especially with our staff. It's also nice to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. We do our best to make you feel like comfortable while you're here, and hopefully we succeed. The lockers are very helpful for guests looking to secure valuable items. We're looking into ways to improve our free wifi at the moment, and hope to have an even faster system in place the next time you come to stay with us!

Thanks for staying. Our location is fantastic for seeing many sights through central London, but as you stated it's also very helpful for catching a bus to the airport or anywhere else. We feel our hostel is a fantastic place to meet people though. It may be quiet at times, but sometimes all it takes is one person to say "Where are you from?" and a large conversation has started. Try it next time you stay with us!

I was disappointed that wifi was not offered in the rooms. There was little space to sit in the common areas.

Excellent location, decent size lockers/cages under the beds but they make so much noise! Free breakfast is good. Good common areas but might be better if there were games/activities on some or all nights. Its swipe card access to rooms but anyone from the street can get through the front door and walk around. Never had to wait for showers which were decent.

It is a busy noisy party hostel, especially on weekends. The staff always seemed annoyed when asked any questions, they were not very friendly. The bathrooms and showers could have been cleaner. It is in a great location for London. And the kitchen facilities were awesome.

when we were checking-in at 7-8pm, a long queue waiting ,only becoz the reception staff were handing over and counting the cash...rooms r fine. kitchen enough for cooking simple things.and big laudry place. only problem is the bed is too low .i'm only 155 cm, when sitting on the lower bunk, still bump head to the top all the time.and cant sit straightly on the lowerbunk. bending over all the time. no locker in room,only a big iron cage under bed for each one.

Clean and secure, with helpful staff. Very close to Pimlico tube. I would recommend it.


69%

Very thankful to have washer/dryer available! I'd definitely recommend taking the tube to Pimlico and walking from there instead of trying to go from Victoria Station. It was a bit frustrating to not have wifi available in the room and only on the 1st floor. Breakfast was nothing to write home about. Clean for the most part, but they should clean the showers every hour during the morning because they get disgusting.
