Great location, close to station. Rooms a little warm but visited during a heatwave. Windows only opened a little. Amazing kitchen area and hangout area. I wish there were more social events. Pub crawl, walking tour, trivia or karaoke. A lot of amenities but pretty quiet. Super clean! Beautiful common areas. Helpful staff!!!!

Great hostel option. Nice to have bar on site as well as the breakfast and kitchen. Easy location for walking to the Tube station. It proved to be an economical option for our family of six (all adults).

Would stay again! I think breakfast is a little expensive for what you get but everything was amazing. You get a small fan in your bed so that is amazing

You have to iron your clothes in the lobby and the front desk guys were literally boxing each other with boxing gloves 5 feet away from us with a hot iron… there was no A/C (of course), dust bunnies everywhere in the room, you have 2 medium towels (no hand towels or wash cloths) and have to pay for more towels, can’t leave your bags at the front desk if you arrive early (you have to pay for lockers), no early check-in (we waited in the lobby for 5 hours), and they wouldn’t let us refund our breakfast tickets for our last day that we couldn’t use since we had to leave to catch our flight before breakfast was even open. There’s also no water fountain, and sometimes no water in the vending machine. We went to bed thirsty a couple nights. The front desk guys were so rude and unprofessional, we overheard them making fun of guests for not having water… The breakfast was ham and cheese sandwich, yogurt, fruit cup, and toast with jam. You have to pay for juice, and if you wake up late you might not even get cold water because they only fill up one water jug with ice for some reason. You have to sort all your dishes onto a rack after breakfast, and take your sheets and towels down to the front desk on checkout. The WiFi was horrible, couldn’t load videos. You also have to walk through some sketchy areas to get to the trains, so we didn’t feel safe staying out late. Overall, this was the worst stay we’ve ever had. It wasn’t even cheap, I can’t believe how much we paid for this…

Best value and great location to tour London. Boomers….no need to pay excessively for not being in your room except for sleep. This full of younger folks place is alive with energy and seeking newness that you may have forgotten. Very organized, clean rooms, à la cart offerings, you flexibly pay for what you need. At 8.5 pounds the breakfast works well. Easily walkable to tube and Tower Bridge as well as in a safe area. Staff available at the desk 24/7. Hostel or private room with bath, the garden, common areas, and pub all have character and enrich your experience. At age 68 and 75, we loved being around the younger energy at 1/2 to 1/3 cost of more traditional hotels.
