Stayed here for 1 day before going to Belgium for Tomorrowland. I picked a random hostel and I chose this one. I do like the nearby cafe but it’s about 10-15m walk from the London Eye and Big Ben. The room value was cheap but you have to rent your own towel to shower. Fairly decent bed as I’m usually used to 4-5 star hotels like Hilton, Hyatt, Conrad, Shangri-La, Marriott but I had to prep myself for camping at Tomorrowland. If I was definitely on a budget, as London is fairly expensive id stay here again BUT make sure you get some noise cancellation as it gets noisy from others trying to open the door.

訪訪客Really good place to stay. Bed, Shower and all were good. Rooms were silent and no-one was making any unnecessary noises or anything. Staff was really cooperating. Wifi and charging points were goood.
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
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. :)
