This is the cleanest hostel I have ever been in. They are cleaning night and day. The 24-hour reception is a real plus and will take packages for you and accommodate most requests. The adjacent Brazilian restaurant is great for when you need a hot meal without going out in the cold. Unfortunately they don't have a coffee machine, but there is a cafe whose hours in the off-season are erratic. Super polite and helpful staff always. The bus and subway are 30 metres away. Closest shop about 200 metres away. Supermarkets a short bus ride away. This is my second stay here. Fair warning, there is no lift so if you want something without stairs you'll need the ground floor, which is NOISY - not their fault, but cars, drunks, smokers, everyone makes noise outside your window. It's a price I'm prepared to pay for the convenience, cleanliness and friendliness, though.

The toilets were always filthy early in the morning, on all floors 1st , 2nd 3rd floors.
Often there are no antibacterial hand washes, no toilet roll in the cubicles, the corridors are freezing cold.
The toilets on the 4th floor were well looked after as it belongs to the staff who work on the premises and also live there.
Quite frankly this hostel needs to be inspected by Health Inspectors, it is just a matter of time before there would be health scare or major disease outbreak!
There grown men who use the loo and just walk out without washing their hands! And walk through 3 -5 doors to get to their rooms touching the door knobs and even going straight to the kitchen!
Can you imagine this ? It is shocking!
The Security is inefficient, as anyone Tom, Dick and Harry walks in & out without being challenged.
You have to make sure your rooms are locked at all times , or else your belongings might be stolen

Outside of tube station and next to day and night buses. Small park opposite and staff are very friendly.
Be prepared that there is no tables or safes in the dorm, there is wash basin, shower room and beds only. Toilets on every floor.
It’s a nice place to stay the nights. Consider kitchen non exist but you can use a kettle to boil water for your own bottle. Value for money, it suits me and I am happy

The toilets could be better supplied and clean on more regular basis.
The room was attended/ tidied up just once a week..! Unacceptable.

This property is cheap for a reason. Initially I thought it was reasonable since I just needed a bed after a gig, nothing fancy.
But the kitchen was really inadequate with the fridge in a lounge on the opposite side of the building. It's very unclean and very few utensils.
I was in a dorm of six and there were only two plug sockets.
The door locks felt like they might snap off.
There's a sign when you enter saying "online bookings don't guarantee a place" so be careful with your plans.
To top it all off I've come home covered in bites.

I liked how there was someone there 24/7, i love how every day there was cleaners that gave a quick wipe down in the bathroom and sweep of floor. The beds where spacious and comfortable especially as a bigger size female and alot of space in the room to store suitcases and bags under bed with small table and mirror in the room. The shower was excellent as you're able to turn it on and adjust the heating and shower head. There are some power sockets in the room I was staying there was two point by door and another two by the bed opposite me.
Honestly for the amount i paid it's the best room and best place i've stayed while being down near wembley. I would stay again if i'm still in the age bracket as sadly im quite close to the cut off but i would recommend it for anyone.

All the staff were friendly and helpful. Our 4 bedroom dorm was very clean and the bunk beds were comfy.
Tube station across the road and a direct bus to Wembley stadium. Very convenient and good value for money.
