Overall a really good place to stay. Beds and sheets were very comfortable. Lockers were a fair size. Bathrooms and showers seemed to be kept up okay. Breakfast was very fair and offered a bit more then previous hostels. Not in the heart of the city but has a bus stop and underground stop very close. Right near the Victoria coach station.

The hostel is close to Victoria Coach Station which is very convenient. However, I wasn't happy with the staff/management. I was stuck in Paris before arriving in London due to a snow storm &wasn't able to arrive my first night I was supposed to stay & then after midnight the second night I was supposed to stay (check out was 7 hours after I arrived). They still made me pay in full for both nights which I found very unhelpful. The bathrooms were pretty gross but it was cheap so I can't complain.

This hostel had a fantastic location! Loved that it was so close to Victoria station and buckingham palace. The beds were super comfortable. I wish the lockers were bigger. Breakfast was nice. And it was cool that it was above a pub.

Don't stay here, the bathrooms are filthy, the water constantly cuts out, you either have scorching hot or ice cold. The common area for backpackers is closed at 8 pm, so if you want to use the kitchen to cook something you can't. Anyone has access to your room with the pass code, the lockers in the room don't lock even with a lock. The toilets don't flush and they leak. Stay away. Hostel world should do more homework on places they get paid to endorse, shame on you hostel world

Everything great, except for the showers. Really bad showers. The hostel is on top of a great bar, that will stay open all night if it has to, the staff were great, the room clean and warm and comfortable, the breakfast normal.

group of 4,we made 2 different bookings as we wanted to make a surprise to our friend.I have called your hostel and ask if you can make sure we will be in the same room and the answer was "no problem ".3 of us arrived around 4 pm. We check it.Our friend we were waiting for arrived very late around 2:30 am but unfortunately there was no more free beds in our room, so we couldn't stay together :(receptionist couldn't figured out why. So lack of communication is an issue.no enough staff on shift.

The three-tiered bunk bed structure works for the big room that they have, but it's a bit of a bother to climb all the way up and down one of those bunks. It's a good value for the money, though.

Beds are moving a lot with the other persons. You feel a bit seasick. I didn't know where to put my suitcase. The shower was cold. But very well located and good character.

I choose this hostel because it was so close to Victoria station. That and the breakfast were the best parts about the hostel. There was questionable cleanliness and security. I found leaves and dirt in my bed when I arrived and the lockers are only big enough to put small items so suitcases are left out, which made me a bit uncomfortable.

The hostel was pretty good; well-located and clean. There were a number of outlets, a perk hostels sometimes don't have! I'd definitely stay here again.

Nice little pub, and pretty good location. No wifi in the rooms, and the bunks are stacks of three, so if you're afraid of heights you may have a problem. Also the bathrooms weren't exactly pristine, but they weren't disgusting either.

bunk beds are quite wobbly, especially the upper ones. you notice every single movement of the guys beneath you. rooms are quite small, no tables or chairs and there's very little space for your luggage. facilities are ok, the slef catering kitchen is without a cooker, just a microwave. the hostel is located approx. 15 min from victoria station.

Many surprises which were not good. The room is clearly small for 15 people, you just have your bed and that's all, you have anywhere to put your luggage because the lockers are really small (and most of them are broken). The showers (5 for almost 80 people when the hostel is complete) are cleaned every day around 10 a.m but the water may have some issues to go away. The kitchen which is closed at 8p.m is a good idea but it's lacking of forks, knifes... I'm not sure I'll go there another time.

The showering facilities are not up to par, improve on that and the customers would definitely be happy

Great location, great atmosphere. Was definitely a fun place to be. The rooms were decent enough, but the bathrooms were disgusting, even by hostel standards. Also, while the security getting into the hostel and rooms was good, half the lockers in the rooms did not work and one of my roommates actually got robbed. Might be better to keep stuff in your bag.
