    A small downside is the pillows—they're not very comfortable.

    I've stayed here three times and always feel safe and comfortable. It's important to remember that this is a hostel, so don't expect hotel standards, but for the price, it's fantastic. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the lobby is cozy. There are plenty of showers and toilets, so you never have to wait. The location is excellent.

    My dorm room was tiny even though it only had 4 bunks in it.

    Lovely hostel. Really cosy and homely. Wonderful welcoming staff. Lovely communial kitchen/dining and chill out area. Close to several food options.

    The room didn't have enough space to organize luggage and belongins, and I feel like the cleanings of the shower could have been done more often.

    I loved the concept of staying in a woman only hostel, I felt very comfortable. The location is very close to metro and supermarkets as well. Staff was helpful.

    The storage cages under the bed were a little difficult to get into, but not a massive bother. There were some things around the property that needed a little TLC: both a shelf and a bench broke while I was there. But staff were responsive and most things looked to be in good condition.

    I really appreciated how clean and quiet this place was! Everyone was respectful, and the property set good expectations around things like quiet hours. They had people cleaning the kitchens every morning, so it was in pristine condition. Dormitory rooms always feel like a bit of a squeeze, but these were really good value for the money, the beds were comfortable, and there were plentiful bathrooms. It's also a very short distance to the tube station so it was very easy to get around the city, and it's even walkable to some places if you're a big walker like I am. The neighbourhood has fantastic food options also.

    There are a lot of girls, but there are few mirrors and good lighting for makeup. I recommend adding this in the hallways. Replace metal curtain rings with plastic ones so that they don't make noise.

    The room was not extremely clean, but the main problem was the light that came in from the windows. The shades don’t really do their job and I woke up because of the light before 8am every morning.

    Best showers I’ve ever found in a hostel. Great location, close to the underground and different buss stops. Amazing that it is a women only hostel, made me feel extremely safe!

    No A/C in the entire property, so it can be hot and stuffy, and theres a pub next door, so it can be somehow noisy.

    The are is safe, and it’s near central London where most of the touristic sights and museums lie. The wifi connection was strong.

    Tiny room, couldn’t even open a suitcase/backpack if someone else was standing in the room (dorm of 4). It wasn’t comfortable. The storage drawers are not accessible. Bed was super squeaky, every time I moved it made awful amount of noise..

    Common area was great and the nightly activities a nice touch to allow socializing

    The lockers under the beds caused a lot of noise in the morning and evenings because they bump and rattle. I didn't like that the key card had all the information to get into the building and the room - I worried that if someone dropped their card and a stranger found it they would be able to get in. It would be better if the key cards didn't say the name of the hostel on. That way if someone loses it it doesn't matter.

    The beds were comfortable and private. I liked the space to work and eat and I liked that we had a fridge. The staff were really nice and the toilets and showers were clean. I had everything I needed there; they even provided period products in the bathrooms.

    This was going to be a 10 out of 10 review but unfortunately two things happened that spoilt that. My dri-towel, a gift from my daughter, was removed from my bunk by staff during cleaning, and not returned. My food was cleared out of the fridge on my first day, even though I had labeled it all correctly. This meant I had to replace it, causing me further expense. Everything else was perfect.

    I loved the vibe, woman only, what a great concept. The daily activities list, fantastic for solo travellers. I was not there long enough to take advantage of these.

    The rooms get a bit stuffy when the aircons are not switched on from time to time. One cannot sit upright in the bunk beds. The cages for locking away personal belongings are a bit impractical (you have to pull the whole cage out from underneath the beds in order to open them fully), but still functional. You can hear the trains rumble nearby from time to time, although this was not a huge bother.

    Very clean, well looked after, nicely decorated. Felt safe on the premises. People were respectful of eachother. Nice hostel activities every evening that guests could partake in (movie night, painting, dinner evening, etc.). Literally a block away from the central tube line! This was a huge bonus. The street has supermarkets and fast food restaurants. I was concerned by the neighbouring pubs, but they were not at all a bother. Lastly, I was concerned about the recent violence in the Bethnal Green area. I did feel like I had to watch my back from time to time, stayed in Bethnal Green for a week. But I was safe and sound, only going to the Hostelle, the trainstation and the nearest grocery store.

    I had one of my food items go missing in the fridge and it could get a bit messy as other guests didn't use containers for open food... I didn't have much space for shopping as we share only 1 fridge so I spent money on dry goods. 1 of the oven hobs was not working but the rest was fine they had a microwave and a mini oven which seemed a bit complicated to use at first. My room was 6 beds in a very small room it was impossible to pull out storage cage for each person so maybe they should make it 4beds instead so we all have space to store our stuff without overcrowding floor area. I wish the windows opened at the top and bottom so we had better airflow in summer for bedrooms.

    I liked that the kitchen linked to reception & TV area, they had outside benches to sit on which was good as I came in summer. The staff were very friendly and shops like Iceland and Tesco were within walking distance. The bed was super comfy and we had curtains for each bed. I liked that the showers were spacious and had shelves as other hostels don't often have this + most showers I have been in felt like a coffin. They had toilets separate from showers on my level which I liked and they had spare sanitation items on display in case any women needed to use, the main thing was in bedrooms and showers they had hooks to hang your towels or clothes etc. This made it easy to carry bath bag / cosmetic bag between rooms without leaving it on the floor or something like that.

    Best hostel I have stayed in for ages. I turned up at 2am after a long and difficult journey from Wembley. Staff were so great. It makes all the difference being women-only, I felt safe and everything was very clean. But, the BEDS! Seriously the best beds I've ever stayed in at a hostel. Curtains around them make all the difference, mattress, pillow and duvet were so comfortable! Also, incredible value! I will recommend this place for any women I know visiting London.
