The worst hotel we have ever stayed in. The owner is very rude and the room is unbelievable small. Not worth the money at all.

Well I just wanna say, it’s a good way to save money in London, There’s no reception, the room need a lot of maintenance, you have limited TV channels, slow Wifi Speed, Cups and plates dirty. But well I just paid for sleep and that’s it.

Staff wanted me to check out at 10:30 AM when the reservation states that check out was at 11:00 AM. The water in the showers wasn’t hot, just a bit warm. Wouldn’t recommend this hostel in the winter.

Do not stay here unless you really have to. There was mouse drippings on bed when we got there. The carpet floor was disgusting and felt like it hadn’t been vacuumed it months. The roof had stains all over it. Oddly enough the bathrooms were totally renovated but i they didn’t bother with the rooms. Also, the mattress may be 20 years old because we were both basically sinking to the bed frame. Maybe the worst place I’ve ever stayed…

Close to King’s Cross, was ok just a bit dated
Check in was easy, friendly staff and let us into our room early. The rooms are very dated could do with updating the beds and decor. The bathroom was nice and good shower. Close to King’s Cross which is what we wanted. It is what it is a budget option hotel but fine to get your head down for a night.
