the locks of shower room were broken, the toilets are super small so our clothes touch everywhere, the lockers were either occupied or broken... honestly the worst experience ever I've stayed many hostels in London and *** around the world but this was the worst Never recommended, even if you are broke, you can find better ones

Very good location for a early start of a trip the next day. King‘s Cross Station is very near.

Twin room is very nice and offers privacy. The hostel location is in an upmarket central district. Close to shows, music, attractions, pubs - yet very tranquil. I strongly recommend it if price is right....the twin rooms can sometimes be expensive.

Great location, but there was only one washroom per floor, so it got manky quite quickly. Okay for one or two nights, but for longer I’d find somewhere else
