It is a nice hostel. It's clean, the breakfast is good, the common areas are pretty comfortable and the staff is very helpful. The beds are a little bit small (and I'm not really tall), and despite the fact that they have lockers you better bring your own padlock, otherwise they'll charge you for that.

The hostel was very confortable, and the bathrooms/showers always were clean. Breakfast was crowded, with a long line to wait.

The curtains around the beds were great. It gave you the feeling of personal space and privacy in a busy dorm. Free breakfast was a plus, but note that it is just toast and cereal. Close to a tube station and a bus stop. Staff isn't overly friendly. Would be nice to have more bathrooms or even gender specific ones.

the atmosphere is rather nice. I like to have a drink in the interclub at night. and the breakfast included is delicious. to be mentioned, staffs are quite friendly and kind hearted. this is my second time to choose this hostel. i enjoy my trip. why not to offer a 4 bed room? next time, we have four people together, so i m confused about that....

The location is a bit away from city center but that is what makes it more affordable i think. I felt it was a bit smelly with curtain and overall cleanliness of the places. Otherwise, great character, nice atmosphere, good staff, all the facilities provided.

My suitcase was stolen from deposit due to lack of baggage security. Only one young lady tried to help me, rest of staff didn´t do anything.

The hostel was outside of the main center of town so we had to take the tube everyday. But it was really clean and had a very helpful staff. Also the decoration was awesome. I felt like I was staying in a Harry Potter movie.

Great location and beautiful place. The room is a bit dark and the bathroom is a bit small. But overall it's a nice place to explore London. Plus it offers a very very good breakfast every morning!

This hostel was the best place I've ever stayed at in London! I stayed in a 6 bed female dorm room and I thought it would be a bit loud, especially at night, but it was really okay. The people in my room were all very nice and I enjoyed talking to them. The breakfast was good and the bathroom was clean. Every room had its own wifi. The only thing I didn't quite like was the fact that on my last day a French school group checked in and they were really loud and ran around screaming all the time.

The dorms looked like something from Hogwarts. Each bed had individual curtains, which was awesome. I would definitely stay there again.

You should know there is NO kitchen that you can use, just a microwave in their restaurante that is hard to use to cook. they also close that space really early ( 10pm). You should also know IT IS NOT a regular hostel, it's crowded with groups from high schools that go there with their teachers, so you'll be sourrended by teenagers screaming and running over solo travellers in their twenties. There's wi-fi in the rooms (but it doesn't always work). Breakfast included.

Had a fabulous stay, the staff where great & handy for the tube station, only downside was people snoring in the room lol but that can't be helped in shared facilities. Will definitely recommend this hostel to anyone coming over from Ireland or where ever I may be. Well done guys
