O hostel é bom. O staff é prestativo, o café da manhã muito bom. Os quartos são grandes e possuem camas confortáveis. Porém os banheiros são irritantes, você usa o toilet de um lado e precisa atravessar o andar para encontrar o chuveiro. Às vezes você tem que esperar para lavar a mão. No quarto não existem suportes para roupas, o espaço da luz na cama é pequeno e insuficiente para deixar alguns itens, o que também irrita bastante. A internet funciona bem mas não recomendo o espaço comum para trabalhar pois as cadeiras são horríveis para passar muito tempo. A hospedagem vale pelo custo benefício, metrô por perto, restaurantes, supermercados, drogaria mas por um curto tempo.

This is my first solo trip since precovid and staying with the friendly staff and travellers was a great start! Thank you. The location is super; I got to a play at the nearby theatre! A bonus! By the way, If you find a pair of black socketts near BO2 bed L could you please hold them till my return on the 24th? 😀

This property is is well situated to both the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines, and it has great overground connections. It bills itself as both a hostel and boutique hotel, which leads to confusion as the online FAQ are about the hostel, while the private rooms appear to have different, unwritten rules, but sometimes have the same rules? For our private room, we were informed we would have to rent towels, then that towels were included. We were never told we couldn't eat or drink in the room, and there was a coffee/tea station in-room, but were stopped from bringing food and drink in as it was against the rules. So, there were some contradictions that hampered the ease of our stay. Also good to know is that they don't allow check-in before 2PM even if the room is ready, making for a long queue at exactly 2PM. We found this out after a different staff member had said we could check-in, and another person was checking-in directly in-front of us at 12:45. But we weren't permitted to check-in. So. There are some communication challenges at this establishment. The room was clean and comfortable though, and it was conveniently located.
