    There was a lot of noise outside which made getting to sleep troublesome. There were no shops open close by to get some essentials.

    Staff were friendly. Food was nice.

    Points for improvement: Water pressure in the shower with hardly any cold water option. Pillow a little thicker or higher. Only one lift in operation, at certain times there was a wait to get to the top floor.

    Strengths: Quiet location with no traffic, residential area. The mattresses were very good, I never had any back pain. They have breakfast although it is not included and a small rest area with the option to have a drink.

    The breakfast before I checked out? The girl serving didn't understand English and was on her phone etc,not very helpful Hot drinks weren't labelled so I ended up having a fruit juice,not a breakfast I would try again, cafe opposite was a lot better and friendlier.

    The dinner in cafe when I got there was fantastic.

    It was in a residential area further than I cared to be from the center of London but it was a very nice, safe neighborhood. The windows could have opened more to allow in more air. It was a little warm in the room.

    Pretty much everything. It's very clean and organized, has a fully stocked shared kitchen and a living room with a tv. There's a bus stop almost right in front of the door.

    The bathroom was just a little bit dirty, but nothing exceptional.

    Was a really good experience there, the place is such beautiful (a little bit far, but London is easy to go for everywhere by public transport, so its doesn't matter), comfortable beds and a clean bedroom. I really felt safe there

    Check in was a bit slow, otherwise no issues.

    Good value for money. It exceeded our expectations as a clean and reasonably comfortable place to stay the night. We were pleased to have our own bathroom which we weren't expecting. Overall a decent YHA option.

    The heater in the room wasn't working and they couldn't fix it. Some of the staff were a bit rude. The trash wasn't taken out every day and the bathroom was a bit dirty.

    There is a bus stop in front and a metro nearby. There is an elevator and a shared kitchen. It is generally quiet.

    Great value for money. Friendly and accommodating staff. The room was clean and spacious and the private en suite was a big plus. The hostel is located in a nice and quiet area. It was easy to commute to the city centre. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely consider coming back!

    The room unfortunately had a little unpleasant smell due to the carpet probably, but apart from that it was a lovely stay.

    I stayed with my family for just one night and we especially liked the position of the place. It was a just 10 minutes walk to the underground and from there just two stops to reach the O2 Arena. We appreciated the staff, they were very warm and friendly. We arrived before the check in and we had the possibility to leave our luggage at their store. We felt safe there, our room was spacious and clean.

    I'd appreciate higher water pressure. It was a bit challenging to take a shower. Otherwise good.

    It's a good quality for such a low price. The people working there were really nice and helpful.

    There are no towels, toiletries, chair and table in the room. But for its price its acceptable since its a cheap room, otherwise the facilities are clean and staff are nice.

    Clean Room,hallway and elevator. Also I like that they let guests use the kitchen to cook.

    The location was good because busses come frequently which allows me very much to visit many places. Also Canada water station is accessiable. Supermarkets close to the hotel help us purchase fresh food.
