No safe place to store your belongings, no where to store clothing, no soap in bathrooms, no toilet paper in toilets some days, no kitchen or washing machine and no nearby laundromat. Poorly sound insulated, and very noisy dorm. Close to city center and transport.

Excellent, the waiting/reception area is full of people making the place feel vibrant and the mattress, linens, and pillows were all clean. I gave it 4/5 stars because some of the bathrooms were pretty dirty. People would leave trash out of the bins and or leave clothes around without picking up after themselves. Perhaps not a reflection of the staff themselves, but I wish something could’ve been done there. Otherwise the reception/hosts were incredibly receiving and very friendly.

I want a full refund immediately or I shall be contacting the local authority and posting about this on social media. I am a woman alone at 3am and am trying to keep myself safe.

A decent effort had been invested in to keeping a decent standard, a little more attention to the shower would help, it breaks/ cuts off occasionally. And you have to keep pushing the shower button while you have soap in your eyes-- it is very uncomfortable and annoying. Shower should be free flowing not cutting off !

A very large bright and breezy hostel. Focused happy and helpful staff. The building is a conversion not purpose built but you get everything you need. A good comfortable bed. Clean bedding. The third floor was a building site. A good place to hostel, near to the city. I walked to the river in 40 mins though buses were running at 5am .

The staff on my checking sat night was unpolity, no even good evening,or hello! I stated it was my first time in this hostel and I didn't the way around, He ignored me and didn't give instructions to get in the room ( another customer helped me), and most of all,he didn't give a lower bed as requested weeks ago in my booking. I explained a have mobility issues and can't clime the ladder to the top bed. I asked to this member of staff and he rudely said he could not do anything as the accomodation was fully booked however,when I awake this morning I noticed that there was a lower bed which was free all night. Not very nice.staff not very helpful,very unwelcome!!

Extremely disappointing experience. I booked a 4-bed female-only dorm, but after taking a shower, I came back to find a man in the room. Turns out they had put me in a mixed dorm by mistake. When I raised this with the staff, they moved me to a 5-bed room — essentially a downgrade, which I did not agree to. The bed was extremely high and difficult to climb into, the bathroom was dirty, and the whole experience felt careless and unprofessional. I also requested a refund, but so far have received no response. Would not recommend this place based on how poorly they handled a basic booking and guest safety concern.

Horrible

We booked a room with a bathroom, upon arrival I told reception that there was no light in the bathroom and they said yes, we'll see. When I arrived at night there was no light in the bathroom and at reception they told me, there's no one around now to check on that, the hostel is a dirty mess, all the rubbish on the ceilings, if you want towels you have to pay £5, they gave me a room on the fourth floor without an elevator, I understand it's a hostel but at almost £80 for a room with a bathroom in these conditions, and super far from everything, an experience that I don't recommend anyone go through.

There no privacy in my room, no curtains. No light (or lamp), no power (electric) outlets near bedside. The light at the shower room was automatically turned off when there is no movement which i understood. But the light was off in the middle of the shower and it is co-ed,i can't go out turned the light on. The washroom on the second floor was flooded once, no toilet papers available. Everyone gathered around the lobby to charge his electronics. In addition, i asked on of the staff for beer drinking inside this building, he said 'No'. But someone drink beer which they bought from the store just acrosss the street. The only good thing I 5say is there is a LEBO restaurant across the street and it is very famous. I bought half boneless chicken with rice, it id only 8 pound, which is very good price compare crazy price in London. I am not sure to go back to London, however, i will not stay this hostel for sure.
