Journeys King's Cross Hostel Reviews

breakfast was good,rooms nice and cool for sleeping.

Excellent location right next to Kings Cross station. Bathrooms were cleaned regularly but often were closed and you had to wait for a shower. Free basic cereal and toast breakfast was welcome but the larger of the 2 toasters was broken creating queues. Free WiFi was sporadic at best and atmosphere was lacking in the bunkerlike lounge. Beds were clean and comfortable with a personal light and power point for each (5 bed dorms). Recommended for location and price but not great for meeting people.

The location is really good! 5 min walk from the tube station and close to bars and supermarkets (Tesco is across the street). Very friendly staff.

Well, - They nearly dont have wifi in the hostel. Its amazingly slow. I asked them to fix this issue several times didn't work. - I checked out before my reservation ends in 3 days. The dont refunded my money back! - None of the showers they have on the second flour is working. Its dirty always. Same in toilets. - They dont have a quite common space to sit. They only have a room in the kitchen with lots of noise.

The location is good, right near kings cross station. Apart from that it is not worth it, the lockers are tiny and won't fit a backpackers bag, the shower pressure is a joke, the beds are tiny, uncomfortable and cramped. The staff are laid back but not very professional. Your better off finding somewhere else.

This hostel smelled bad, it was quite dirty (almost filthy). Dank. The wifi didn't really work that well but the atmosphere was pretty nice.

It's not worth for the money paid actually. The room is very small and the hostel is not clean enough.

You get what you pay for with this hostel. The showers were so tiny and awful pressure, the toilet didnt work half the time, the staff audibly complained about their jobs while cleaning the room in front of me. My iPod got stolen and it was unbelievably noisy. It is not worth the money. The location is the only plus.

Helpful staff

Great bar. cheapest for pints and doubles in the area. decent breakfast. Very good value for money

Pros: Excellent location. Good vibe. Good common areas (tho a little small). Free WiFi. Ordinary breakfast. Cons: Toilets flush less than half the time. Poor showers. Not enough toilets. FREEZING in basement rooms (deal-breaker). One of the WiFi connections didnt work. Can't sit upright on beds.

Nice and close to the tube and train stations. The tesco just across the road was handy aswell. Rooms were pretty tiny (painful if you had a bag any bigger than a small handbag) and we had to change 3 times in our 8 night stay. Kitchen was pretty useless if you want to cook your own meal, there's one pot and about 3 bowls and mugs. Breakfast was good though. Lots of 'herbal' remedies around aswell, if you're into that..

I travelled to many places around the world and I stayed at hostels most of the time. Journey's was way below my expectation and the level of cleanliness was no way near the Australian or the NZ standard. The place was small and tight, not so suitable for a long stay. Bunkers were not comfortable and a three-stack bunker was not to my liking.

I visit London once a year and I prefer to stay at Journeys King's Cross Hostel for two reasons. Firstly, for the excellent location near King's Cross St Pancras tube station, and secondly for the good value for money. Unfortunately, the Hostel from an aesthetic point of view is much undervalued, and they should ask the help of an Interior Designer. They should also change the colour of the walls inside the rooms. I hope the management of the Hostel, will kindly consider my comments.

I took a shower and almost got wet. Other than that, the place did the job, the staff were friendly, the bed was relatively comfortable and each pod had a powerpoint, which makes life infinitely easier. The lack of lockers in the rooms meant people left a lot more clutter around.

I absolutely loved it at the hostel! The staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to make sure my stay was good, and got to know my name. I felt very welcome here. The beds are extremely comfortable and there is always cleaning around the hostel, it's great to see. Great job :)

The staff were not there 24/7... during the morning around 7am we needed them but the reception was closed. You have to go to the 3rd floor to take a shower, the bathroom was clean, but takes some minutes to get hot water, and just few water. The beds are noisy because they are made of metal. The location is very very good ... close to the main tube lines and st pancras station

You can't beat the location of Journeys King's Cross hostel as it's only a 5 minute walk from St. Pancras/King's Cross. The staff were very friendly and helpful and it was great to be able to leave our luggage stored there while we waited for check in time as we got there a bit early. The hostel was quite loud at night, with people running up and down the stairs and hallway at all hours so I wouldn't recommend it if you are a light sleeper or simply value your sleep.

In my opinion this hostel is one of the worst I have been into. I found a specially horrible detail the fact you have to pay for left your lugagge the day you do the check out. I slept in a room in the basement, I found that specially dangerous in case of emergency. My bedroom was not suitable for so many beds, many of them in ten centimetres above the floor. In Spanish we have a word for this: cutre.

when i checked in, my bed wasn't done. someone brought the sheets (after 20min of waiting) and made me do the bed myself. what's with that?
