The room was impressive in terms of size and comfort, much better than other hostels I’ve tried. Two people could comfortably share the room. Location is great for kings cross, Ruston, and convent garden

The hostel is very centrally located, with convenient access to public transportation, shops, and restaurants. It’s definitely a great spot if you want to be in the heart of the city. However, I was assigned a room in the basement, which had poor ventilation and a noticeable damp, moldy smell. Unfortunately, this made the stay less comfortable. To make things worse, one of the lights in the room couldn’t be turned off at night, which affected my sleep quality. It’s a convenient place in terms of location, but the room conditions definitely need improvement.

Enjoyed my stay here, rooms are clean and the hostel provide alot of facilities and activities. My downside is there are no stairs to go up to the hostel which can be troublesome for tourist with big luggage. However, staffs are really friendly and even offer to help carry my luggage up the stairs. Thank you

Excellent location, friendly staff. The room was very small for 4 beds, no ventilation. The shower was surprisingly nice.
