Great

Solo stay

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.

Stayed with friends

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.

It was okay. One of the travellers was somewhat hostile and seemed to have mental issues. It was very scary but luckily I was checking out next morning.

Solo stay

Not much space between the bunk beds meaning only 1 of the 4 sleepers can access the under the bed locker at the time. Only 2 hooks on the wall to hang jackets for 4 people. Beds very basic but comfortable. No privacy whatsoever! Other hostels deal with this with roller blinds… plug sockets away from the beds so bring a long cable (like a 2-3 meters one. Toilets and showers are at the very end of a long corridor so if you need a wee in the middle of the night get ready for an excursion. The gents toilets were either blocked, out of service or in a very bad state. None of the 5 toilet doors would close because the entire frame was out of place. The bar (although painfully slow) and the breakfast were good and the atmosphere was young and vibrant.
