Bad matresses. Disgusting blankets (not clean, of course). No security. Dirty facilities (to the point that I had to clean them myself, what a shame!). Staff not very kind (especially the young girl who does the cleaning).

Yes, it's bad but then again what do you expect for such a cheap price!!! It's hardly going to be nice at £7 per night!

Stayed there 2 nights with a friend. Beds are a bit uncomfy, BUT (which is a huge but) bathrooms were CLEAN every time we used them. COFFEE and TEA is free (along with milk and sugar :)), rooms are not as small as I thought so it didn't feel crowded (stayed in a 8 bed dorm). LOCATION is awesome (about a 5 min walk from Hyde Park). Basically we had a lovely stay, and would definitely recommend and return next time!

WORST HOSTEL YOU CAN GET FOR YOUR MONEY! DON"T WAIST YOUR MONEY, MOVE ON. Beds aren't assigned and they don't clean the beds so you don't know where to sleep. I asked which bed and they said the only available bed so I slept in the only bed that was made and was rudely woken up by a pissed off Italian at 4am telling me I was in his bed. Internet was S!*t,mattresses were Sh!#, Beds are unsafe and missing all their screws, no fridge,limited kitchen,1 power plug for 8 people, staff was Sh!#, Clowns

I don't know how some of these London hostels can be so cheap in such an expensive city. Great value. I actually didn't even sleep there, I had an 8-hour layover, switching from Heathrow to Stansted, and originally I was going to store my bags at a train station, but then I realized it would be cheaper just to rent a room at this hostel and store them there while I was out enjoying the city. Haha. The guests seemed to all be Italians who had been there for quite a while. Fun place.

Great location to explore London,in a good Area.But the hostel was full of Polish people,who live there,Take over the Kitchen and TV room,and are Not the cleanest of people in the toilet,showers and dorms. I'm a seasoned traveller,and have never given a Bad Review on a hostel,and i've stayed in some Bad ones around the World,but i wouldn't recommend this excuse of a hostel,to any traveller.

look, you get what you pay for. for £6 a night the location is brilliant. i travel alot and it was fine for the budget traveller to get a cheap place to stay in a very central location. people who complain about this hostel need to increase there budget and stay in more expensive hostels. because this place is more than good enough. good hot water, beds are ok, free tea coffee and the people are very sociable around the hostel. recommend to budget traveller.
