Good stay!
The location of the hostel is perfect, right next to the Jubilee line and bus routes to the city center. Stayed in the 10-bed female room and it was perfect. The room is a bit on a smaller side but you have enough space for your belongings under your bed in a locker. Everything was spotless. I love the curtains on the bunk bed which gives you extra privacy. The room can get a bit stuffy during summer. Receptionists weren't very nice. If you want a different bed you have to pay an extra even though you have an injury and can't climb up the bed. If you have a room that's next to a bar it can get a bit noisy. A little bit more coordination at reception would not hurt anyone.

The worst night's sleep in London guaranteed
Overall the Hostel was clean & friendly - in particular the (unisex) sink/toilet/shower areas were cleaned regularly. The lounge area was excellent, really comfortable & relatively quiet. Free ear plugs & a free cup of coffee in the morning (downstairs) were a bonus. However my dorm room really stank of body odour & smelly feet (really bad). Also it contained 9 bunk beds all inter-connected within a wooden frame structure (mine was the top middle bunk room 105). As a result, at night if just one of the other 8 guests moved slightly in their bunk, I would feel the vibration directly in mine bed !! The result is that I was consistently woken up pretty much all night long. At the end of my 4 night stay I was so exhausted that I have had to check into a hotel to actually get some sleep!! Furthermore the space in the allocated lockers in the dorm itself was a joke - I couldn't even fit my small cabin bag in it. Instead I had to pay an additional £4 a night to rent a locker in the downstairs basement area. Overall this a good hostel - however I would only recommend it to people who are very deep sleepers and who don't mind the smell of stinky feet all night long.

Standard hostel
We booked an en-suite room but had been moved on arrival to one without. Hostel was fine overall just the staff were not very helpfully
