The door to the dorm room was dodgy so there for never closed properly, you were also charged for a locker if you wanted any security! The carpets were disgusting and there were holes on the walls. The place stank and the showers were not only dirty but no hot water!!! The worst thing though was the bed.....in the mattress all you could feel was metal, no 'sponginess' for comfort what so ever....I might as well have just slept on the bed frame. The worst hostel of my trip so far!!

This was probably one of the dirtiest hostels ive ever stayed in. It smelt awful in every room it was hot and stuffy and our room definitely had mold in it. I was the worst experience and I wanted to leave that hostel as soon as I got there. There was nothing good about that place.

This is an older style hostel in kings cross, There is a really good atmosphere here, that is all about having a good time, just head to the blue room (a place in the hostel u can drink) and its really easy to meet people. I only booked 1 nite but i actually stayed longer coz of the people here. The location is good, only 8 mins from the city. Staff are friendly, helpful. quite noisy coz in kings cross but good for party people, hostel old but still quite clean, but not for poshpackers!!!!

The best on the Hostel is the location! It is very close to King's Cross Metro Station and the city center. But the kitchen and bathrooms could be much cleaner! Also the community room make u not really want to enter it. Its dark, the TV is always on.. it doesnt really welcome u and u dont really get to know other people like that! Some of the staff are really nice and helpful than there are others that could be a bit more friendly and motivated!

Worst Hostel I have ever been! The showers didn't work, the water was only dropping on me and there was no hot water available when more then guest was having a shower! The kitchen and the rest of the hostel were very dirty! The room was very sticky and there was no air condition. If you wanna enjoy your holiday, don't stay in this hostel!

Now this is a review coming from a backpacker that has stayed in some pits before. This place was disgusting!! We paid a porting to stay over New Years and ended up leaving 3 days early loosing out on about $200! With no refund or any compensation. The main guy on the desk was extremely rude and unhelpful, he didnt mention anything about the facilities that were their for our use. We had to as another person who was very helpful! So much negative stuff to say about this plae! GIVE IT A MISS!!
