訪訪客Such a Great Location & the Staff is Amazing! It’s located right next to Kings Cross & Coal Drop Yards which is convenient. Check in is simple & they even let you leave your luggage for free if you get their early & after your check out. The staff is so kind, to the front desk, Maintenance, Cleaning Crew & Management. I love how the beds you can change the color of the Lighting. There are plugs for your phone & a locker to store your stuff. Also a bar to hang socks or a Towel. They have a huge lounge area where you can chill or work & a kitchen. Pretty big kitchen, great way to save $ while traveling! Bathrooms are always clean & always hot water. They have events throughout the week which is great for connecting with new people. You can tell the staff is like family here & genuine souls! Definitely suggest checking out this Hostel when traveling to London! My next trip into London, I’ll definitely be staying here. 💚
訪訪客OK, I have to be careful not to totally slate this place, because it's basically a fair enough hostel for the price. However... The entire cardkey entry system was down for 4 days - meaning everyone left the dorms open 24/7, rather than go downstairs and get the poor bugger on reception to come up & open the door every time someone needed to take a piss. That's not great for security. I switched dorms mid-stay. No problem with the dorms, it was just they didn't have a bed available in the same dorm for a whole week. The lockers in both dorms were too small to put much in and the locks on both my designated lockers were broken, as were about half the others. This didn't stop someone using mine for a couple of days and putting a padlock on it, even though twisting the lock open - padlock or not - would have been easy. I was only putting my shoes & coat in there anyway. I stuck them on the end of my bed! On the plus side, there are some excellent lockers in the basement Chill Out Room, available for £2.50 per day on a coin-operated machine. You can get two proper backpacks in them. That's good value, though having to trek to the basement is a ball-ache. The dorms were very cramped. I don't expect an army barracks style of comfort: my bar at hostels is the standard set for Aussie and Pommie prisons these days! Spacewise, the dorms were well short of my bar! There are lots of old court and police station buildings where people aren't allowed to be held overnight nowadays because the cells are so small they violate Yooman Rights! The two dorms I was in fell short of that! Less than a metre between the two rows of bunks in the bigger dorm and about 2 feet between the bunk and a projecting bit of wall in the smaller one. The bigger dorm had a sink just inside the door, opposite the (broken) lockers, but the space inside the door - between the sink & (broken) lockers and before the bunks - wasn't much more than a square metre... and you're obviously in the way of anyone going in or out as you stand in front of the (broken) lockers. The smaller (6-bed) dorm had a sink by the window, which was more practical. Also... The website pic showed 2-bed bunks as the set-up when I booked online. The actual set-up in both dorms was 3-bed bunks. That's a bit cheeky. I was in the middle bunk in both dorms. I didn't have a tape measure handy, but the space between the middle and top bunk was significantly short of 2 shoe lengths - and I'm not Shaquille O'Neal in foot size. Well short of 60cm. If you fancy a career in the submarine corps, or if you're a method actor about to play a Silesian coal miner in a film set in the 1800s, this is fine. As it is if you're 1.40m tall. For anyone else, it's a mite cramped. There was no pillow on my bed on the first night, though one appeared on the second day. Beds were pretty comfortable, though the mattresses had squeaky plastic exteriors - can't whinge there: Poms aren't good with holding alcohol and I can imagine acci
訪訪客Amazingly rude front desk - twice over have felt the need to bang bang on about rules and basically make you feel like you are in the wrong Kind of a strange welcome both times Not sure what they are expecting of their well meaning guests but it does come across as pretty rude when all you want is a decent night’s sleep If a sweet welcome is what you’re after then go elsewhere
VVzaiI chose this hotel for my family vacation based on the Comfort Inn name. We have always enjoyed the quality of Comfort Inn hotels in our previous travels. This particular hotel does NOT live up to the Comfort Inn name. It didn't feel structurally sound nor safe. The floor felt like it was crumbling under our feet in certain areas of the room. It sounded like people walking above us were going to come through the ceiling. The carpet was filthy. We could not see out or open the window -- it appeared to be nailed shut and there was something hanging over it on the outside. Breakfast options were extremely limited. So disappointed! BTW, we stayed in room 101.
訪訪客用戶We first checked in with Mohammed who greeted us with a smile and made sure to make us feel welcome with lots of sweets and lollipops! He made sure to let us know that we were welcome to come for some tea and biscuits whenever we wanted! Top bloke. The room was pretty nice with a surprising amount of amenities that we weren’t expecting (fridge, tv and a nice modern shower). On the way out we bumped into Toqil too and he was a very friendly guy also. He offered to take our keys so we didn’t have to walk back to reception to drop them off which was nice. The room was nicer than we were expecting for the cheap price and both the members of staff we met were a testament to their profession!! We would love to come again. :)
