Jacob, July 2025
Pros (+) It did have a good atmosphere
Cons (-) These hostels need to start supplying some shelving or hooks to place your gear while having a shower instead of expecting you to place your belongings on the wet floors .Some heating and cooling would be good

Pros (+) Without a doubt, one of my favorite hotels to stay at in London. The staff is always very friendly. It's very well located, close to King's Cross station and many tourist attractions.

Anonymous, July 2025
Pros (+) The decoration and interior design is really lovely, there's plenty of games and shuffleboard available. The staff were really lovely and there's 24/7 reception too.
Cons (-) There were rats and mice running around. The staff didn't seem to fazed by this as apparently it happens a lot. In regards to the bathrooms, there's not many. I could only find one per floor. If you want to shower there's nowhere for you to put your clothes, towel, phone etc whilst you shower. Lockers would be really good for this. As a result you have to leave your things outside and hope they do...
