Not so clean, the rooms weren't nice at all, but it was a good location and good price. The staff was friendly, but the hole atmosphere was creepy.

Single room with no photo, when I checked in, the single room is just a bunk beds and let me take the whole room without sharing the other bed, the space in room is very very limited, my 28' luggage is hardly to open:( the floor is very noisy even there is only a man walking! the door can only be closed when pushing hardly which can also make big noise as well! hardly to sleep well because of the noise. showers and toilets are good the quantity of them is fine. the location is fair,

We stayed in a 15 bed mixed dorm and i liked how there were curtains around each bed and there was a sink in the room. Beds are quite small as are the bathrooms and breakfast is just cornflakes and toast and jam. Good social areas and you can buy a lot of essentials from reception. Overall, good value for money.

12 OR MAYBE 18 PEOPLE IN A REALLY SMALL ROOM? THAT WAS HORRIBLE AND NASTY, ROOM WAS THE DISGUSTING THING, THE REST WAS ALMOST EXCELLENT

The showers are in very poor condition - in the female showers did only 2 of 4 showers work and even these two had hardly any water, so it was impossible to wash hair etc. Furthermore there are no shelfs or anything to put your cloth on. The room was very hot - the heater was on full blast and apperently the staff couldn't turn it off.

Staff often unfreindly and inhospitable. Not into the spirit of things at all. Internet (wifi) poor quality. Kitchen tiny with lack of any utensils. Dorm crammed with bunks with absolutely no space just to put a suitcase.

The staff was ok, the hostel was cheap....BUT.... BUT.... IT WAS TOO CROWDED. I had to put my luggage in the luggage room for 2pound extra, because there was no space to move around with it. In my room it was packed with people trying to move to London with all their possesions and it filled the whole dorm-there was no walking space, because the floor is covered in luggage. It didnt help that the bunks were staked 3 beds high. A dorm that should have been at most 6 to 8 beds was 12 or 14 beds.

love this hostel!


73%

seems a lot nicer than when I stayed about 4 years ago. Still can be cramped though. All over, good. Free wi-fi and curtains on beds is a winner. Breakfast could do better (semi-skimmed milk), or not bother and reduce the price. Should recycle waste.

Not the best stay - the hostel did grow on us - the free wifi and the excellent location was probably the only good thing going for it.
