    The soundproofing of the rooms. Considering that the hoste is located just beside one pub, the noise is annoying (but how we were so tired after an entire day walking around, it was ok to sleep).

    The location is just perfect! Near of everything that we need as underground, bus stops, supermarkets and coffee shops. The kitchen is really well equipped, there are enough bathrooms and toilets for the amount of guests and they even offer free activities (what is really nice for solo travelers). The staff is incredible and very helpful.

    Bedroom doors were heavy and loud, and the code to unlock them could be simpler - you need to make sure you have the card they give you at check-in at hand whenever you leave the room.

    Very well located with the tube just around the corner and bus connections. Bed was comfortable with a nice duvet and pillow, bathroom was clean and lots of hooks in the shower area. It also felt very safe with only women in the building.

    The smell of the toilet bowls. It is not possible to clean against that smell.

    This is the second time I've stayed here. There was no shower maintenance this time, which was very nice to be able to stay on the same floor. Everything was cleaned properly and the staff is so friendly!

    The room was in the lower ground level and there was not lift, so you have to carry your luggage up and down the stairs. The location, I didn't feel safe in the surroundings of the hostel. It's a bit noisy.

    The bed was super comfortable! The matress, dunna and pillow, best I ever had in a hostel. The overall atmosphere in the hostel feels good.

    The two staff I interacted with on checkin/check out weren’t the most friendly and appeared to not want to be there. Also a bit of an odd smell in our room downstairs, had to sleep with the window open

    Great price, location and kitchen facilities! The hostel was responsive when I updated the about a late checkout.

    I dont like the storage for your luggages and belongings. It can be seen through and cannot fit my medium sized luggage.

    I like the bunk bed. It has several hooks that are convenient to hang your clothes because not all bunk bed has that.

    I know you have to take care of your things, but I left some pajamas under the pillow and it got lost just when they cleaned the bed, no one took care of it nor did I receive any help from the staff to get my things back.

    Be in an environment that generates security for women.

    • Bed in 4-Bed Female Dormitory Room

    Some maintenance is needed. In one shower handle was broken. My locker was not working and I couldn't lock it, so I switched to another one. They mentioned that they would fix it, but that didn't happy. Luck is that almost always there were only 3 girls in room and other lockers were working. In the upper floor (when I used before after checkout), toilet seat was broken. Pub is near, and some noise is coming from it.

    Check-in was simple. They let me leave my bags before as I arrived before check in. I was in basement room for 4 people (lollypop room). This room was ok, you could hear bar that is next door to the hostel but it wasn't too noisy. You have curtain around bed, so there is enough privacy. Next to you there is a small lamp (for reading), shelf to put some of your stuff. Under the bed there are big lockers, where even bigger suitcases can be placed. They make a bit of noise when dragged on the floor, but not to much (they have wheels). There are toilets and showers on this floor and they were not occupied, I always could find some free. They were mostly clean. In the kitchen area there is big fridge and there was enough space to store my food. Metro station is near.

    As mentioned in some other reviews,the shared facilities were a little small feeling (kitchen,lounge etc) This meant that there were times when they got a little crowded. Also as others mentioned the underbed lockers were loud and cumbersome to use,although i appreciated how large they were. A few little things here and there - my bunk was very creaky and there was no shelf on the wall like in others. Toilet seat in the bathroom on my floor was very loose. The laundry facilities unfortunately were not available while I was there (although laundrette 5 min walk away so not a very big deal).

    Great spot. The staff were all friendly and professional (although some may want to be aware that there were some male staff working during my stay. Not an issue for me personally but could be for others.) Everything was clean and it felt very safe there both in terms of myself and my belongings.The location was also great,very short walk to a tube station on the central line.The bed was comfortable and the pillow was better than ones I've had in many hotels. I definitely did not get party hostel vibes. There were planned activities for guests,however it did seem like most people kept to themselves. It was nice to see a great mix of ages,nationalities etc.

    The kitchen area didn’t have a kettle which was very inconvenient. The beds in my room were placed in a way that we could only access 4 out of 6 lockers under them, fortunately the room wasn’t full and no one needed to leave their luggage unsecured. My bed was also by the heater, which meant there was a sizeable gap between the bed and the wall, i was concerned my pillow or other things would fall down.

    The showers were very nice, and the bathrooms and overall rooms were clean. The beds were big enough and had multiple outlets.
