Cheap accommodation for singles/duos

The neighborhood is convenient for taking the tube/underground and for finding snacks/conveniences, but it's confusing at night and kind of sketchy. They also have a cafe and bar inside the hostel, but it's not the coolest place to hang out if you have a choice.

Great Location, friendly staff

The staff was very friendly, they help carry bags inside and always check key-cards for security. Checking in was very easy and they were very helpful as this was my first time in an hostel. Common areas were not too social and there was a fair amount of families / old people...

Party hostel

There was a bar in the hostel that ran specials and events in the night, if you were travelling alone a good place to try to meet people. Also there were lockers in the rooms that you didn't have to pay for. All you need is a lock.

Everything feels new

Everything seemed new and not run down. There is a full bathroom for each room which is nice because they stay clean. they provde sheets and a blanket for free which is great as well. The location isnt too bad but its not the best. Its close to many metros and has many food places near it but if you are looking for a crazy night out you will have to take the metro or a cab or be prepared to walk about 30 minutes. The decorations are lovely and they have free wifi and computers to use whichj is great. the staff helps out when asked questions and if they dont know they answer they will be happy to look it up on the computer for you. The only big downside about this hostel is that there is not a bar in it and not many people hang out in the lobby area unless its to use the computers.

I had a lot of fun at this hostel which has a great bar and lots of chances to meet other travelers, However it is far from the sights.

Massive bar area which goes off every night. Glad our rooms were at the other end of the hostel or could have been noisy.
