Clean room - perfect stay for catching the Eurostar train early in the morning - 5 min walk to St Pancras station. I don’t normally stay at hostels anymore but was truly pleasantly surprised and impressed by the cleanliness and hospitality. Would certainly recommend it and I would stay here again.

When you walk in it smells like a portapotty. Check in was easy and the staff was very nice. However the bathroom was so nasty. Ended up booking another hotel within 20 minutes of checking in.

Great location near restaurants, public transportation and Kings Cross / St Pancras train station. Good price / value for money. Friendly and helpful staff. Full kitchen. Fun “take a book / leave a book” library. Great communication before arrival. Need to empty rubbish bin inside sleeping room every day. No A/C and hot weather made it difficult to sleep.

Just a 5-minute walk from King's Cross and St. Pancras stations, the location was excellent. It’s one of the most convenient areas in London to stay at a reasonable price. The staff were friendly, and it’s a great choice for young travelers on a budget.
