    • Its ok. I like about the canteen being inside the hostel, for a quick snack. Can be pricey sometimes. But good thing to have. Instead of walking for miles to get stuff.
    • Heater was working
    • The staff are brilliant there and the facilities are excellent. Tv room to watch sports and play pool. Spacious and guests are friendly. Coffee room also available.

    Cons -

    • the room had not been cleaned. I had to change my own sheets! The trash can was overflowing, there was no cleaning done. It was extremely loud all hours of the day and night, I was never able to get any sleep. Stay away!!
    • Not much to say. But it can be better.
    • Their staff hmmmm especially the female staff there jon Saturday morning very rude

    The team is amazing. They really care about your well-being, listen to your queries, and make you feel supported, even while handling millions of queries at the same time

    The cleaning team are really working hard to keep the premises clean

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Close to tube station, overground and buses.

    Not very clean and not all the showers worked

    1KurdoPosted on: 1-6-2026

    The shower.

    The fact that I messaged the Managers and they never got back to me and when I prebooked and paid the money upfront I gave a time I was arriving it got approved then at front desk got told to come later, then it just was not the one in Amsterdam it was funn worth the money and experience here not so much

    Amazing and very close to a train station and bus stop Not far from central london

    10ShafiqaPosted on: 12-18-2025

    This hostel is very clean, affordable, and well-maintained. The staff are polite and helpful, and the beds are comfortable and tidy. However, the rooms could use some improvement.

    no heaters

    4KamaraPosted on: 12-18-2025

    The cemetery because the dead dont talk, dont gorge, dont discriminate and dont attack, or provoke aggression.

    the staff/security will approached you each time asking if you live there etc, this same staff, so-called security, are very, very rude with intimidation tactics.The security are very, very ghetto and will be hanging, drinking and smoking with guests, etc

    10DomingasPosted on: 12-17-2025

    The price for the bed

    Some people that stay there long term think the place belongs to them, and are very rude and disgusting.

    10IntiPosted on: 12-8-2025

    I was in a female 4 bed dorm with 3nsuite bathroom. The room was very clean and so was the bathroom. There were only tourists in my room and no longterm residents like last time and that made a big difference. I would stay again but only with an ensuite toilet

    10AncaPosted on: 12-8-2025

    Anca is A M A Z I N G . Thanks to her I had an amazing stay, the place is clean and supportive staff members are there to help. Anca is a very sharp, intelligent human being and very professional . Thank you Anca. Also the place has a pool table and Dj nights - great areas to chill and cook if the need be. Place is 2 min from underground tube which really helps. Also I met Ian who has helped me diffuse confusion and helped with my needs whilst I was navigating dark times. Thank you Joshua who made sure on his shift I felt protected and safe .Amazing teamThank you guys, may God bless youKindness and respect,Anca A Dolinschi
