You get what you pay for when you stay in this property. It is a hostel so there is no maid service or towels but you have cheep, convenient and clean accommodation. The best tip I can give is to take ear plugs as it can be noisy at night with people coming and going.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This place is terrible in all sense of the word. The staff is rude especially the guy who does the night shift. They made a mistake with my booking and didn’t offer an apology and instead of helping me find another place to stay the two individuals who do the night shift sat there like two idiots. The guy told me to find another place and didn’t even care that I had payed money already. That guy is so rude he doesn’t deserve to be working with people. If he doesn’t know how to work with people he needs to find another job.

I liked that it was clean and that there was free breakfast. I wish there was an elevator. Staff were friendly, some more so than others. I had an overall positive experience. Some staff even helped me lift my luggage up the stairs, which was super helpful.

Ok stay but can improve lots
It was a bit confusing because I was expecting it to be a hotel as advertised when it was actually a hostel. Breakfast is very poor and of low quality food. Shower area should be cleaner.

I booked for a room stay for 4 people with private bathroom, towels & shower but we were split into two rooms and had to use shared bathroom with many others. We were given breakfast as a complimentary and for the inconvenience caused. Staff were very patience, friendly and helpful.

No beating around the bush- this place is horrendous in standards, I’d like to know how it passes inspections etc. However, for the price it is, in Central London, you can grin and bear it.

Nice location but some downfalls.
The eating room had a nice TV but only a microwave and no plates or cutlery and no access to sink to wash up. Was expecting better than this for a nice area of London. One toilet on my floor had an overflowing sink. I reported it but it wasn't seen to straightaway.
