Seriously, I have never met so many amazing people gathered together in such a random place. The staff, guests, and visitors were all great people and made my time there enjoyable.

Place to stay, sleep and lock your baggage. You'll find a better place than this one. Should be better. The staff, service and cleanliness are horrible.Place to stay, sleep and lock your baggage.

The reception smelled like vomiting. The room smelled bad as well since the windows wouldn't open and we were using a fun to ventilate the room. I was in the room were a of the few staff members were sleeping and their clothes were all over the floor.The breakfast was sad. The toilets were cleaner on the upper floor and the showers weren't clean as well. The Kennington area is very dangerous and boring.Not a safe place in general. The reception smelled like vomiting.

I stayed here before in another room, and it was really good. But the room for 9 people on top floor is terribly uncomfortable.I stayed here before in another room, and it was really good. But the room for 9 people on top floor is terribly uncomfortable....Close

very noisy. ceilings creak from people on the floor above, doors always slamming. showers were good but the toilets in need of cleaning. the bar downstairs is good, unless you are trying to sleep before 1am, then it can get annoying. the mattress and pillows were also quite uncomfortable. ear plugs are a must. very noisy. ceilings creak from people on the floor above, doors always slamming. showers were good but the toilets in need of cleaning. the bar downstairs is good, unless you are trying to sleep before 1am, then it can get annoying. the mattress and pillows were also quite uncomfortable. ear plugs are a must. ...Close   Read Owner Comments

The staff are excellent, this place's best asset and always helpful with directions or just a chat. Security could be improved as larger bags are stored in a cupboard in the foyer and you simply ask for access. The toilets and showers were clean. The beds are great with curtains and power point and light. Not much headroom if you're on the bottom or middle bunk though. Overall it was good, it gets very noisy on the weekends so if you want a party come here..otherwise you might not sleep much!The staff are excellent, this place's best asset and always helpful with directions or just a chat.

Good hostel, with everything you need. Very secure, and close to shops and the tube into the city. Would stay here again for sure, and probably will next week!Good hostel, with everything you need.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff are absolutely fantastic, there are lockers for your valuables and the cleanliness and proximity to the tube station are ace. Would recommend this to EVERYONE. One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in.

Good place to stay to meet other backpackers and have a laugh over a pint. The staff were very helpful and answered all of my questions very accurately.THe hostel is also walking distance from the train station and bus stop, so very handy to get around, plus you can hire bikes for 6 pound a day. the only down fall is that the dorms are very cramped,but hey thats backpacking i surpose.over all i would recommend staying there.Good place to stay to meet other backpackers and have a laugh over a pint.
