Helt ok för priset

Helt ok! Ett plus för att våningssängarna ha gardiner. Vissa toaletter och badrum behövde städas och renoveras. Lätt att ta sig dit med Jubilee Line

No major issues, staff were friendly and helpful but I was there in February and the rooms were sweltering. The heat wouldn’t turn off? Aside from that, no issues.

Staff was always attentive and ready to help. The hostel was always being cleaned and maintained. I felt safe and cared for. Only caveat is the bar and restaurant on location was a lot more limited then I expected. But they are plenty of options close by and a guest kitchen mitigate this very minor issue.
