Britannia on William

Fine for one night. Great location, but otherwise pretty sub par. Not any great common spaces/hang out spots. The bed I was on had 2 broken springs which were loud and uncomfortable and the upper bunk did not have a railing, which seemed a little sketchy. They did offer 24 hour check in, which I was grateful for after a very delayed flight!

Kitchen and bathrooms really dirty, didn’t feel comfortable

Everything is very basic. The hostel is huge though. I found that the crowd tended to be in their late 20s/early 30s, mostly males, but there were also several older people too. It seemed like most people lived there for long periods of time. Weekends were loud with lots of partying. Carpets in the rooms were always dirty and most of the storage lockers were broken. You can hear everything going on in the halls, so be aware if you're a light sleeper. Location and staff are good though.
