Pros (+) Without a doubt, one of my favorite hotels to stay at in London. The staff is always very friendly. It's very well located, close to King's Cross station and many tourist attractions.

Anonymous, Jul 2025
Pros (+) The decoration and interior design is really lovely, there's plenty of games and shuffleboard available. The staff were really lovely and there's 24/7 reception too.
Cons (-) There were rats and mice running around. The staff didn't seem to fazed by this as apparently it happens a lot. In regards to the bathrooms, there's not many. I could only find one per floor. If you want to shower there's nowhere for you to put your clothes, towel, phone etc whilst you shower. Lockers would be really good for this. As a result you have to leave your things outside and hope they do...

Pros (+) This the biggest hostel that I ever slept. There not a lot of showers or toilets but that didn’t bother me. I had only one person in my room of 4 and she was very respectful like me so sleeping was great. There is no cooling in the room , just the windows a little bit open. I bought my hand ventilator and it resolved the issue.

Przemyslaw, Jul 2025
Pros (+) At least no insects and clean linens (that’s all)
Cons (-) Disgusting, stinky carpet flooring in the corridors, disgusting shower cabins, stuff is totally arrogant and simply stupid (doesn’t understand simple things and questions)- probably they finished only elementary school. Difficult even for conversations; lockers (to leave your luggage before check-in) are paid and the system doesn’t work properly causing problems with payments and locking. I wouldn...
