• Ggenius (10/5): -
• Williams (6/5): come on, you've already got enough information, That should allow you lot to sum it up yourselves. - neat and relatively tidy, very clean and staff are attentive when required. That's enough for now. cant think of anything, really.
• Akhere Paul (7/5): -
• amar (8/5): Honestly, I felt very comfortable there.❤️ - Their treatment is kind and pleasant And calm and clean.
• lemur (2/5): -
• Sarwar (4/5): - Price was reasonable It's a very grimey dirty hostel kitchen is laughable and showers are apalling. Beds don't have charging points or individual lights. Overall assessment avoid unless desperate. For a large building complex catering for the hostel business I expected much better standards.
• Adnane (10/5): Comfortable, friendly, and exactly what I was looking for. - I genuinely had a great experience staying here. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, which made it easy to feel comfortable right away. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always available when needed. The facilities were clean and well maintained, and everything was organised in a way that made the stay smooth and enjoyable. I also appreciated the social vibe, it was easy to meet people and feel part of a community. Overall, it exceeded my expectations. Honestly, there wasn’t anything significant that I didn’t like. If I had to mention something minor, it would just be small details that didn’t impact my overall experience. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
• Bella (8/5): -
• Were (7/5): - The food Unexpected payments
• Natalia (6/5): bueno y barato - tiene el metro a dos minutos del hostal, las camas limpias, es barato, no hay tanto ruido, baño bien te cobran 10 libras por llave, hay gente rara y de origen extraño hospedandose en el hostal, pocos enchufes en la habitacion
• Barey (10/5): -
• Zarin (1/5): -
• Oki (5/5): -
• Lloyd (1/5): A nightmare. I went to stay at my friends house. I will never go there again. - Nothing That the showers weren’t fit enough to wash in. It’s next to a graveyard which you can see when you go to the toilet, they charged me an extra £20 when I arrived, plus charged me £8 for a small towel and i ended up sharing a room with 3 other people.

• Alin Adrian (10/5): -
• Chinyel (9/5): Slept well and great cooking facilities - Great evening staff, very helpful and solved my queries. Clear walls would be calmer.
• Rosirene Alves (10/5): - Muito bom
• De Santis (7/5): I wish you a better luck than me with not mental issues people around - The room was clean. The room was on the 3rd floor and on the main street so there is noises all the time. The lighting was poor and the bunk beds are very close so the other person´s head was very close to mine. Mattresses are very worn out so not very comfortable. Next door there was a couple with the TV at a very high volume until 9pm, then they started arguing so I had to call for help to reception to make them quite as they mistreated me when I asked them for that. They didnt make silence until very late as they were playing knocking things or just talking loudly, for me they had mental issues for the way they were talking between them (a man and a woman). Reception told me to change room on the phone but after talking to them they didnt call me to do it and I did not bother. I had a really bad night in that room. Water in the shower was quite cold in the morning. The heater is off during the day so the room was cold but on at night and the room was better. Very late at night there was people arriving walking in corridors with big luggage making horrible noises.

• Ana Luíza (8/5): Cheaper and cheaper - The price The harmers of the room was not working at this time. I felt really cold and sick.
• Ana Luíza (8/5): Cheapest hostel ever - Cheapest hostel, better than sleep at the streets of London. The Old building withow light. If you don't care about fancy architecture it's going to be a great experience.

• Pires (1/5): - Nada, quarto fedia , muito ruim!
• Shakti (3/5): Despite my felliw residents being lovely J wouldn’t recommend the hostel. Dirty, showers not working on my floor so had - My room mate and the other residents, very friendly and gelpful. Dorm very comfortable Staff were VERY challenging, took a LOT of patient navigation to get even basic help. Very off putting especially after a long exhausting journey and stressful and sad situation (friend had life threatening surgery the day before and I was at hostel to attend another friend’s funeral tiday).

• Katalin (7/5): -
• HYACINTH (4/5): It okay could be better needs to Change more - Not much Not total clean, it needed a makeover a Funding to reshape the whole building and makeover the bedroom and kitchen ,Reception needs polishing up and organising well
• Billie (5/5): - Was told in no uncertain terms not to stay, it's a gang hostel and if your not liked by that gang don't stay. But at least they were honest enough to say. Nothing to do with actual hostel more to do with permanent residents The fact that I lost the money I had paid but at least they didn't make good on threats. Nothing to do with actual hostel
