Journeys King's Cross Hostel Reviews

Cramped, loud, filthy. I stayed on the top floor, and could hear people partying in the basement until 5 AM!! There are only 2 working showers and only very small lockers, so in a 12-bed dorm, there are bags EVERYWHERE. Will happily NEVER return and encourage you not to go anywhere near it!

I had my mp3 stolen, someone else in the room had cash stolen and someone else had parfum stolen. No lockers in the room.

More or less what you would expect for the price. The room was clean and tidy but also small and cramped. There were too few bathrooms and the common areas stank of cigarette smoke. One of the staff members was completely unhelpful but the rest were quite good. The lockers were handy but didn’t really give you total confidence in their security. Overall it was alright for a cheap weekend but I wouldn't want to stay there for an extended period of time.

very dirty hotel as the room as bathroom,

If you travel with your computer, either keep it with you all the time or get a locker. Mine was stolen from my bag, which was slightly hidden behind a curtain on my bed.

I have stayed at many hostels all over the world. Most of them are dirty. This one was very clean and they even had a cleaner in the evening. Staff were very friendly and helpfull. The only problem was hot water.... barely warm, could not shave with water that temperature. Basins should have plugs as well. Otherwise fantastic! Highly recommended.

bedding wasnt changed,found a bottle and a book in the alocated bed, and absolutely filthy around and behind the bed disgusting. - no pillow case and every body was hyper, after the police visit - laptop theft. however staff tried to rectify the situation. I should have been compensated with at least 1/2 nights free -

Rooms are very small, other people haf the code to our room and kept coming. Security is not good at all. We were kept awake by really load people until 3.30. Security again should have atopped this. However when we spoke to reception staff in the morning they were very helpful and they moved pur room. MUch better in the new room. Also my froend was very poorly on our second night and reception staff was very helpful. Not too bad but security really needs to be stepped up.

Great location and I guess its worth it for what you pay but the staff were not happy to help and were not welcoming at all.

Apart from kitchen not so clean, and they forgot to clean our room before our arrival, afterwards the hostel was not too bad. A little disappointed at the arrival, but not too bad by the end of the day. Interesting experience. Very warm rooms however, we slept very well!

Cold water in the showers two of three days...

I'd suggest cleaning the bathrooms/showers. The water was more often than not cold so shower quickly. One thing I must say is this is an absolute perfect location!!

I was disappointed with my recent stay there - thank goodness it was only short. Whilst the location is good, there are other better hotels in a similar location. It was very loud at all hours of the morning, even with earplugs. The kitchen facilities, bathrooms were poor, and the showers consistently didn't have hot water. Some staff were helpful, others were just plain rude. I normally say one gets what they pay for, but it wasn't worth it this time.

Nice location, helpful staff the rooms were hot and a little cramped but you get what you pay for.

really good located, fun area. staff is very helpful. a bit noisy, but would recommend hostel to other travellers!

Se si cerca l comfort meglio lasciar stare, ma come comodità buona posizione!

The magic of meeting people is what make travelling a way of life. Here, in Journey´s, you will find kindly and very interesting people, also staff, who are always ready to help. Amazing, really, thanks for everything

Location is superb as it is close to kings cross st pancras station; tesco metro just opposite the hostel. Staffs are friendly. However room quality is average mainly due to poor heating at night (as well as the non consistency of hot shower), water dripping from the roof, and some random stuffs below the bed (cleanliness?), also the smell from the construction site close to the room. Overall, it still provides a good shelter for travellers who need a place to stay

Best value for the little amount of money.

Our female dormitory was terrible : 12 bunks in such a small space, the door could hardly be opened and there wasn't even a washbasin. We had a cold shower . The breakfast room was too small: not a chance of having a seat for a cup of coffee. Only 1 toaster working. The luggage room smelt rotten. A definite feeling of being squeezed all throughout the stay. In fact we spent 2 very unconfortable nights with the street noise very audible in the dormitory. I suggest you take it off your list.
