Very nice atmosphere and an extremely helpful and kind staff. Their description of the place is a little bit wrong. No laundry facilities or airport transfer like it said. Also, they only accept cash for payment. Breakfast is included, but you pay for it. So that would not really mean breakfast is included...

I worked here for only a short time - you will soon understand why! It was a live in job. Every other place I have worked at charged me around 35 quid a week (this includes accommodation, an own room, washing, internet and meals).

This place is cheap because it's a $hit hole. Power was out in the toilet and shower for 2 days. Not recommended. The only thing good about it was the friendly one eared cat outside. Even when the workers know you are staying there they are still dodgy. There was a homeless lady living there who wondered the halls at... More

Stayed here with girlfriend for the London marathon. This is not a hostel or a hotel, it is two bars (one a pub, one more a club), which has rooms above and beside, you must enter through the club to get to your room, a bit odd. Arove to a fight going on outside the place which the bouncers were... More
