I arrived to be given a key to a room that had 3 people in it. I booked a private room for a reason. The guy at reception was very helpful but I am utterly shocked and disgusted with the service and I shall be taking matters further in the morning or on Monday. What a joke your company is. I want a full refund immediately or I shall be contacting the local authority and posting about this on social media. I am a woman alone at 3am and am trying to keep myself safe. My email is Lcm240307@gmail.com and contact number is 07421 474049. As I said the reception guy was amazing you were not x

Would not recommend

I am not one to often leave bad reviews. I have stayed here for 6 nights overall and it has not been pleasant. Despite there being '24 hour security' no one seems to be monitoring who comes and goes- someone could easily pretend to be a guest and access the sleeping corridors/ shared bathrooms. Lots of older men staying on their own- so as a young female I’ve had a lot of encounters feeling uncomfortable/ being stared at during my visit. The lift is broken/ not in use so have to haul suitcases up 4 flights of stairs. We were allocated a room on the 3rd floor where the whole corridor smelled of poo as apparently the plumbing was broken, and the room had not been cleaned. Moved to a room on the first floor which also did not smell good, there is no ventilation and old windows… mould on the ceiling of the bathroom, no drain cover in the shower. The shower temperature wouldn’t change due to limescale build up, sinks are so small you can barely lean to use it. There aren't many hostel amenities- no cooking facilities or even a kettle. Water is sometimes provided in a pitcher that tastes a day old. Only one or two hairdryers shared across the whole hostel you have to ask for to use. If you are looking for a cheap place with fairly easy access to central London and are only staying a night, this place might be for you. But as a female solo traveller I would not recommend it.

Not too bad.

It's a nice hostel. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the room itself was nice and tidy. There weren't any major issues, just no air conditioning that affected my sleep, but not a big deal. Overall, 8/10
