"The hostels is close to King's Cross and the location is really well-served day/night. I booked a room for girls (4 beds) and I tried the breakfast. The room was really small, only for sleep (no chairs, sofá, tables, wardrobe), no space for walking. Anyway, the hostels has a lovely kitchen and common area, where you can stay and relax instead of staying alone in the small bedroom. You can cook with other guests and make nice friends like I did. Staff was very nice and welcoming, cleaning is okay. This hostels is really cheap and nice if you travel alone."

"It is a nice place overall, though a little bit controversial. I am definitely glad to stay there - the location is amazing, breakfast is nutritious and surprisingly diverse! But the rooms are very dense, too many people and lack of free space. Very noisy because of groups. But still - highly recommended in terms of value for money!"

"My boots were taken from me by staff while I was sleeping. When I asked them to call the cops, they found my boots in the office claiming that I need to lock them in a specific locker, that matches the bed number, with a padlock because they said people get entire suitcases left behind. The kitchen was super clean and of restaurant quality. Free tea. Hot showers. Laundry. Great location. I'd definitely stay here again. It's worth it if you lock up your valuables and sleep with your keys inside your clothes. Thanks Clink ."

"Honestly, I give this place five stars because when you’re paying £20 for somewhere to stay for a night in central London, you get what you pay for. I honestly didn’t mind this place at all, and actually enjoyed the stay more than I expected I would. The lounge spaces were big, with lots of charging ports, and upstairs in the room it was pretty tidy, along with the bathrooms and showers. The staff were really nice and talkative during check-in, so I’d definitely be willing to stay here again. However, just in case this is your first time using a youth hostel, there’s a couple things I would note. The windows in the hostel were open all night, which meant noise was let in, however there is an expectation that this will be the case. Being in a room with 10 people, with Covid, I expected this would happen so bought ear plugs with me and I would recommend you do too as it was a great help. Considering that it is winter, I actually woke up in the night feeling quite warm, so the windows didn’t affect the temperature at all. The lockers to keep your things in our downstairs near reception, so remember a padlock, but during the night I actually kept my bag on my bed for convenience. I had no issues here whatsoever, maybe my only thing would be if I could have an extra few pillows on the bed as that wasn’t particularly comfy. But perhaps this is something you can ask for. Overall, it was decent for what you’re paying for."

"Nice hostel, stayed for one night in a private twin room with a bunk bed. Clean toilets and showers, friendly staff, accommodations for luggage were great and we were able to check in early for a small fee. Room was stuffy due to heat but a fan was provided. Overall good experience and would stay again, fine for the price if you don’t need many amenities"
