This hostel was very nice, the common room and kitchen was nice. The room was nice, I particularly liked the fact that each bed had its own light and power point! The elevator seemed a bit rickety but was still nice to not carry our bags up the stairs! The location was fantastic too. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

This is the best hostel I´ve ever stayed at! We had some friends who stayed at a pretty chep hotel and our hostel was better than theirs! Haha, staff is very friendly and helpful, there's a lounge with kitchen with CLEAN plates and so on. Everything is very fresh and they also cleaned our room! WONDERFUL!

Staff very friendly and helpful. Hostel very clean, good showers and toilet facilities. Rooms adequate but on the small side.

Very nice, practical hostel. Conveniently located with new/clean facilities and good level of security (large lockers are provided in the rooms). Friendly staff; will stay there again. The major downside was that internet is quite expensive to use if you don't have a laptop, whereas other hostels often offer this for free.

Paid wi-fi is abusive. Breakfast paid separate is also very negative. Would stay there again but only if there is no other hostel with fairer conditions.

Very, very noisy on the Friday night and as I was next to the bathroom I was woken up regularly when I eventually did get to sleep so had maybe 3 hours if I was lucky! Saturday night was much quieter thank god and I had a good night all told. Facilities were on the whole very clean although I did notice that between when I showered late Fri night and again Sun morning the same hairs were on the side of the shower! Breakfast was simple, but good value and all the staff are friendly and helpful!

Very satisfied indeed. Extra costs were unexpected though, such as the not-so-free wifi or the membership fee. Excellent location however. The facilities and the bathrooms were more than satisfactory. Recommended!

Very clean hostel, the rooms, bathrooms and common areas are all modern and nicely furnished. The location is excellent, just off Oxford Street, the main shopping street located in Soho in Central London. Only problem was wifi was not free.
