Solo stay

Overall a very positive experience, very reasonably priced, helpful staff and plenty of amenities within the building to enjoy and take part in. Great for all ages, only complaint would be the Matresses are very tough to sleep on. Highly recommend otherwise.

Solo stay

A very nice hostel situated just next to Kings Cross and Euston Railways and Tube stations. Best location in the heart of London, easy public transportation access, safe and clean and convenient, beds are very comfortable, staff are very friendly, shoutout to Prince, Carlos, Junior and Ainy (If I spelt it right) for being fantastic, use this hostel on all my travels to London.

Have been here before, needed a night to crash after a late night in London. I've felt the place has got worse than I'd expected. Would prefer for example fast charching USB ports, privacy curtains and storage space with locks in rooms.

Fan in room was caked in dust and there were stains on some of the sheets and duvets. Staff were very helpful and the public space was nice.
