I stayed for 3 nights. Towels are available for a fee. Check-in was a breeze thanks to the kiosk terminal. I ordered the fish and chips at the restaurant, and they were delicious.

Enjoyed this stay and particularly wanted to shout out Gerard who went above and beyond to make it a fun stay for us and our friends! Great location, good stay, as always easy check in and checkout. Would recommend!

The location was great, only about a 7-minute walk from the nearest station. However, the shower room didn't have a changing area, so it was a bit inconvenient having to get somewhat ready in the room beforehand. Also, since it's a 5-story building with only one elevator, it was quite crowded, and I mostly ended up using the stairs. Despite that, the staff were friendly, and overall, I was satisfied! Thank you! :)

Convenient location. 10 minutes walk to King’s Cross. Need to pay extra for towels and other amenities. Check out time is so early at 10am.

Very disappointing stay.The shower temperature control was broken,so the water was constantly too hot and could not be adjusted.More importantly, there was a strong sewage smell coming from the bathroom drain.The odor was not limited to the bathroom-it spread into the room and was noticeable throughout the stay.It made the room feel unpleasant and significantly affected the overall comfort of the accommodation.opo

The hostel offers good value for money, and its location is excellent for commuting. However, my experience at check-in was less positive. The receptionist who welcomed me came across as intolerant, short-tempered, and impatient, which made the arrival experience feel somewhat unwelcoming.
