This hostel left me utterly disappointed. While there were a few positives, like the lovely kitchen staff, the overall experience was tarnished by dirty rooms, rude staff, and an uncomfortable atmosphere. I did find a great kitchen, but the value for money was severely lacking given the poor conditions.

Rooms
5.0
The room was cramped with narrow spaces between the bunk beds, making it hard to move around. I found dirty spots and the presence of mosquitos on my bed. It felt more like a nightmare than a sleeping arrangement.
Service
5.0
Service was not at all satisfactory; the reception staff was rude, and I struggled to find help when I needed it. I asked for a refund but was denied despite the conditions.
Location

The hostel is in a central area, which was convenient for accessing attractions. However, that wasn't enough to make my stay enjoyable.
Dining

Breakfast was incredibly basic and not worth the stay. There were no fruits or meaningful options for vegans. It felt like an afterthought.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the location is fantastic, just steps away from public transportation and several shops. However, my stay was marred by poor room conditions and a frustrating toilet situation. The breakfast left a lot to be desired, and overall, I didn't find it to be a good value for money.

Facilities were limited, and I was particularly frustrated by the lack of access to warm showers, which shouldn't be an issue in a hostel environment.

6.6/10

The hostel is conveniently located near Hyde Park and a tube station, making it easy to explore the city. The overall cleanliness was a bit lacking this time around, which was disappointing. On the upside, the staff was accommodating when I needed to change rooms, but the social atmosphere could definitely be improved. If you're looking for a lively hostel experience, this might not be the best fit.

The hostel has a clean environment and spacious common areas, but unfortunately, the sleeping arrangements were quite cramped with too many beds in a single room. While it's in a convenient location, the lack of a social atmosphere and inconsistent staff attentiveness left me feeling a bit uncomfortable during my stay.

6.4/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The staff was friendly and the location was convenient, but the room was cramped and the bathroom was tiny, making it uncomfortable. There were issues with noise at night and overall cleanliness, which detracted from my stay. If you're just looking for a short visit and a budget-friendly option, it might work for you, but I wouldn't recommend it for longer stays.

Rooms
