The staff that I originally interacted with was friendly but there were a couple staff members who seemed like they could care less when approached. The rooms were clean, but the showers were lackluster and right fitting. Having to use your key card everytime to access the nearest bathroom was a pain.
The best all around, no air conditioning wasn't great but still will come back and the people there are wonderful

It is what it is.
This is my third time staying here, but first time in the summer. I happened to stay during one of the heat waves, no AC, windows barely open, even after the temp cooled off outside it still remained uncomfortably hot inside the room. There’s a separate women’s only bathroom that was out of order that made the only one on the floor a lot busier than it should have been.
The neighbourhood was great, and proximity to the tube was perfect!
I guess at the end of the day you just need to know that you get what you pay for. A convenient place to sleep near transit, but lacks some creature comforts.
Excellent and friendly staff. Accomodation is cheap and you get what you paid for. The property is a cracker and in a great location for trains, buses or even walking as I did. The breakfast was terrific and reasonably priced .
Excellent location with just few minutes walk to Tube station. The hostel is beautiful, as well as the nice room and bed. Space is enough and staff are nice. Highly recommended.
This is a superb property. The location is great , just a 2 min walk from the tube station. I recommend you asking for a room on the 1st floor . The basement rooms can feel claustrophobic and there is no ac
The stay wa good overall.
A clean place, nice people, good breakfast.
The only thing I regret is that there was a roommate who was very noisy and even ate in bed while we wanted to sleep..
But that is not the fault of the hostel, so it was all barbarous in general lines. I will definitely return!
