The staff was lovely. And you have access with the DLR to all central lines, and Westferry DLR station is of about 3 min walking distance. Good value for money. Would definitely recommend...

Unhelpful, unfriendly and unprofessional staff. Quite unavailable reception. The watchperson was actually sleeping and overhearing the door bell. Unhelpful with a reservation problem. Nice rooms, but my room wasn't cleaned and sheets not replaced when I moved in, i.e. unhygienic rooms.

Overall the hostel was pretty nice and the staff were very good. I was told the check out time was 10:30am, but at 9:30am the housekeeper was knocking on the door and telling me I had to get out so she could clean. I told her I would be gone by 10:30, but she told me she didn't have time to wait and come back to the room. The room also didn't appear to have been cleaned prior to my arrival. The sheets were dirty with spills and someone's hair all over them, so I had to wash the bedding first

Very good for the price, clean, comfortable, secure, good facilities, only downside is the £8 per night parking charge they dont hit you with till you arrive very expensive considering there was only one other car in the car park so they aren't exactly pushed for spaces... Other than that I highly recommend!

I stayed there two nights while I was looking for a house. The position was great for me, but it is not that convenient if you are a tourist visiting London. They ask you a £30 deposit for the key. Book it through Hostelworld, it is much more expensive if you do it directly.

The rooms are spacious, clean and have practical conveniences, little fridge, TV, large desk and above all, in my case I was like enough to find an en suite available. This in London is a blessing at the hostel´s price. I do recommend it strongly if you don´t mind being a bit far from the tourist´s madding crowd.
