Not a great stay. Four bed room was the smallest of any of that type that I have ever stayed in. Mattress protector had a stain on it. Showers in the third floor men's bathroom did not lock and they did not have the two-door dressing room as many hostel showers have. No hairdryers, only hand-dryers.

Pros: good place for a group, not far from the tube station, grocery store is the next block over and there’s a ton of restaurants nearby.
Cons: somewhat expensive, not a very social atmosphere unless you are in a group, a lot of underage kids staying there, no kitchen, no outside food and drink allowed, rooms were tiny, and food and drinks at the hostel bar were expensive.

I really liked my stay here the room was comfortable and some of the roommates were respectful.

However I paid an extra 5 pounds so that I can do a late check out for 1pm
A new person came at 12pm telling me she was assigned to my bed it wasn’t if I pay for extra time honor that
