Very busy when we arrived - took about 1½ hour to check in. I truly hope that they will upgrade their IT system soon :-) Didn't meet any homeless people only lovely staff - who even corrected our booking as hostelbookers.com lied about the room being "female only" I saw a cleaner every day and she actually did clean :-)...

God, this place is disgusting. the toilets were never cleaned and never Able to be flushed. rubbish was on the floors in bathrooms for the whole week I was there. The showers are ridiculous with no place to dress. The staff (except the LOvely Aussie girl) are really unfriendly and don't speak good English. The cleaners are appalling! The beds... More

Worst Hostel I've ever been! I have been to Marseille, Paris, Barcelona, Valencia, Granada, Madrid, Tarifa, Amsterdam and other London Hostels but this one is absolutely dirty, too expensive (30-50pounds/night) and there is not enough space in the rooms. The shower is totally disgusting and the rooms are smelly. Also the cheap Russian cleaners are very unfriendly and they don't... More

Just a place to stay, certainly not for a fussy person. Suites for a "party weekend stay", what means you will spend most part of your time outside the hotel. Big respect and thanx for the working team, especially cleaners, who's making this place look nice, neat and pretty, despite the very old and tragic facilities!!!

Apart from price and Location this was the low point of accommodation in Europe for me. We paid for a 3 bed private, dont be fooled, its a bunk with a double on the bottom (kinda funny, but check my photo) and very small room. Plus the stairs up there are horrendous. Only got 1 hour of Wifi per day,... More

The best thing about this hostel was great location, very close to Central Line. You could easily get anywhere around city. Nice people in reception. Room was really small. Two bunk beds squeezed in a very small space.Toilets and shower room need good clean up. You have to pay extra for locker. Deposit for key must be paid in cash... More

In 20+ years travelling the world for business and pleasure, this is one of the worst places I've ever stayed at. They packs in more beds per square feet than imaginable. As a result there's nowhere near enough space to accommodate all guest whom end up working and hanging out in hallways and staircases. Rooms are unbearably cramped, with twice... More

I stayed here for 2 weeks last fall. I have limited experience w/hostels in Europe, so keep that in mind. There were several aspects of this hostel that I appreciated. I met some really nice folks who were staying here and most of the staff was helpful. The cacoon- stacked beds were short (just long enough for me at 5'6")... More
