We had a very pleasant stay in this hostel, the only thing we didn't like that much is that we payed for a membercard but we never got it.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel! The staff was very friendly, you can ask them anything. The location is also very good! The rooms are small, but modern. The showers and toilets are very clean. There is a kitchen, and you can cook with a lot of people at the same time. Next time i'm in London, I will definitely stay here again!!

The hostel is in a great location and the staff is very nice. It´s also good to buy tickets for the attractions there with a discount. But the breakfast was a bit strange, since you didn´t serve yourself and the rooms are a bi small. But since ondon is so expensive in general, a comfortable hostel in a great location is worth it. If you don´t like the breakfast there, youi can go to the Starbucks or Pret a Manger near by

Everything (Cleanliness, situation, value for money) was really good... except that in our Check-in my friends & I had to pay 10 pounds each one for a YHA Card (WE DIDN`T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT!!!). Our feeling about that was that we were being cheated

Great hostel, very clean and very well located! I was pleasantly surprised by what this hostel looked like. Although we had to pay for almost everything - breakfast, internet, lockers- it was still worth it. Highly recommended if you're looking for a trendy well spotted place in London.

The biggest advantage of the hostel is its location; Oxford street is situated just around the corner. The staff is nice and willing to help you. At the reception you can buy cheaper tickets for tourist attractions as well as for some cultural events. As it is youth hostel, WIFI should be free of charge – in the hostel there are plenty of extra fees (for example for left luggage if you are leaving after check-out etc.). It would be also good if a cleaning lady do her job properly each day.

Staff were friendly and helpful, lots of information were available out front too, I wish I'd spent my whole trip there, instead of just the last day of a too short visit to London.

The local of the hostel its amazing and ALL the staff were specially nice. Unfortunetly you have to paid extra for absolutly everything, which is kind of tirying. Be prepared to pay at least 20extra pounds just for details like internet, towel, adaptor etc. Don't think u'll find such a good value for a the money in London tough.

I would not recomend this hostel. It had no charecter, it felt like a cheap hotel, the staff wern't there to have a laugh with you and hang out. they treat it like a job. Everything was charged additionally. You have to play 3 pounds a night membership, 3 pounds for a locker, 5 pounds for internet, 3 pounds to leave your stuff after check out. not a hostel feeling.

Great price, but I really wish the elevator went up all the floors. I had a couple super large suitcases and it was a pain. The rooms were clean, comfy but the green light that shone all night long was hard to take. Liked the locker and the common room, but it would have been nice to be able to change the channel. Also for the price, free wifi would be appreciated.

Amazing location, incredibly clean, lovely to stay at- especially when you first arrive in London. Some of the staff were incredibly helpful, some were slightly less so. They rotate through and you get to know who you should direct your questions at! Really excellent place to stay, definitely recommended.

Wonderful hostel, I don't regret a second I've stayed there. Really well located - close to Oxford Street, Underground Stations, touristic sights, restaurants/coffees, nightclubs... Also impressively clean, the room was very comfortable and the staff, always nice and helpful. I definitely wanna stay there again when I go back to London. And I totally recommend it.
