This was cheap and cheerful. Excellent value for money stay in a set of bunk beds with en-suite for less £100 in the centre of London near tube station and walking distance to all the attractions. Thank you

Disliked: Cleanliness
Like many other reviewers, I have to complain about the metal drawers at the bottom of the bunk beds. I thought I'd be ok with it because I usually wear earplugs. But those noises are unavoidable unless you put on shooting ear mufflers. I constantly woke up at night due to that noise and wasn't able to sleep well during my 3 day stay there. Although they offered the cheapest price for a great location, I would have picked a different place where I can at least sleep through the night.

It's a Hostel, you get what you pay for. The free breakfast was a nice little surprise. The private room met the needs of us both, although basic.

I was very impressed with my stay. The best feature (not seen elsewhere before) were the adjustable curtains to each bed! Great idea!
