I had a great time in this place, wish I could've stayed for more than one night. Arek, the guy who runs the place, is hysterical. There's also a great cast of longterm lodgers who have great taste in music and are willing to show you around if they have the time.

The actual hostel would be nice if the regulars were not so messy and they were friendly. Also the all girls dorm that I was in was so cold that I could see my breath at night I had to sleep with three layers of clothes, a beenie, and a scarf to stay warm. I will not come back unless it is the only hostel with a vacancy.The actual hostel would be nice if the regulars were not so messy and they were friendly.

not bad, should have more table and chair for pp to use their laptop instead of sit on sofa and put the laptop on the leg, its inconvenient to me, personally. Common room shouldnt close in midnight, less table & chair & NO LAUNDRY else i may be extended my stay, tesco is so far away, few groceries shops near by anyway, room not that spacious, overall quite good & clean, toilet should have bigger mirror, easier for brushing and washing face, wifi quite sucks.not bad, should have more table and chair for pp to use their laptop instead of sit on sofa and put the laptop on the leg, its inconvenient to me, personally.

Standard cheap hostel. Good typical hostel breakfast; comfortable, clean beds; secure, coded doors to rooms and building (though tended to be noisy at night); mostly friendly staff. The tube station is about 15, 20 min walk. Night bus right outside but a mission to catch it from town! Only minus was check-in: took about half and hour and we were dead tired, stood in the bar with our luggage in a rush to get on with our evening.Standard cheap hostel.

the hostel had a great atmosphere. The kitchen was big but very messy. I was living in a eight room girl dorm and some of my room mates were messy. The bathrooms were clean, but the showers were very small for a 6\\\'1 230 pound woman. The area was great. About a five minute walk to the Brixton tube station or you can catch the 109 or 432 bus to get you to the station. There is also restaurants, internet cafe, and other odd in shops around the hostel. Nice cheap and ok for a few nights.the hostel had a great atmosphere. The kitchen was big but very messy. I was living in a eight room girl dorm and some of my room mates were messy.
