I'm used to the spanish/portuguese standards of hostels, then I got really surprised about the many extra charges that I had to pay, such as padlocks, plug adapter, also expensive soap and towel. It resulted in 30% more than predicted expenses. Good treatment from a few staffs, and bad from other ones. On the other hand, very clean place. And I couldn't say it isn't safe, though the paying for padlocks.

Great place

The hostel was good and the rooms were clean. Every bed had a reading light which is very good. The breakfast was good value for the money. The hostel was easy to find but rather far away from the city center.

The best value for money I've seen in London and top security. Not very comfortable beds, but a great hostel overall. I definitely recommend it.

the most expensive internet connection found in ages, and the only hostel found so far which make guests pay for leaving there longer (i.e. on the departure day) bags

Was actually very nice, beside one thing: Paying for the locker! Would be nice if the hostel would offer these for free.

For the price we paid, what we got was a really good deal. Security gates that you have to go through day and night to access the hostel. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was great, the beds were clean, the room was clean and we had a shared bathroom ensuite. Locker storage available after checkout, lockers also in the room. Was a little worried before I arrived due to reading mixed reviews but I would def recommend this hostel as a place to stay, big thumbs up!!
