what the heck? it wasn't a hostel at all, there was no name on the building. the reception lady didn't speak english, just italian, or a sort of. I didn't get any recipt, no key either. the location was on a arab/russian getto, pretty scary. not recommended at all.

I had a great stay at this place, with everything provided free of charge (wi-fi, phone, iron, kitchen use, etc), the night bus stop was conveniently located just 100m away and the underground was no more than a couple of minutes of walk, try the cheap pizza place just across the road, it's... more I had a great stay at this place, with everything provided free of charge (wi-fi, phone, iron, kitchen use, etc), the night bus stop was conveniently located just 100m away and the underground was no more than a couple of minutes of walk, try the cheap pizza place just across the road, it's probably the cheapest one in London (just a $ 1.50 !!!) and there are plenty of other ready to eat food for all tastes (chinese, indian, turkish, vietnamese, etc...), in a city so expansive it's vital to have budget under control, enjoy your trip!!!close

Avoid this place!! Its ad is full of lies. (awfull internet, slow as dial up, old computer, no iron, ironing board, nothing) The place is filthy, unsecure, and in an awful area.

(awfull internet, slow as dial up, old computer, no iron, ironing board, nothing) The place is filthy, unsecure, and in an awful area. The only reason I stayed for 5 days is because I had prepaid and the operator would not refund me my money (could not afford to loose 150 dollars). The only person taking care of the place does not even speak a word of english (just italian) and she smells and is digusting, and has no problem comming into your room unanounced at 3 in the morning, turning on the lights, to ask you something or to bring a new victim..err guest in. It was also real cold because they are so cheap and dont turn on the heat, and limited hot water. Oh, and two bathrooms for 14 people! I am actually going to formely petition hostelworld that they remove this guesthouse from thier lists. close

It seems as if it's a halfway house and there was one woman from America who I was supposed to room with that was crazy. She showed up a day later and started to throuw my stuff around and her verbal responses consisted of a series of grunts. I am not making this up.

She showed up a day later and started to throuw my stuff around and her verbal responses consisted of a series of grunts. I am not making this up. I switched to a room with three other people in it and was given back less the proper difference for the room downgrade. One person at the house said it was in the second worse neighborhood in the UK.close

The hostel is very nice at first sight, cosy atmosphere, very few people staying there - can be good fun. I don't recommend this hostel for females though due to problems that I have had with one guy molesting me at night - I had to leave, not him...

I don't recommend this hostel for females though due to problems that I have had with one guy molesting me at night - I had to leave, not him... The landlord has got another female-only hostel, which is very safe, but far less clean.close

Nice place once I found it! This is a private residence with some rooms converted into dorms so there are no external signs. Some staff members speak no English but this didn't really cause me any problems during my stay, as there were nice people staying who could help out with translating....

Althought Antonio, the landlord, is very kind; the location of the guest house is quite ex-centre from London. The DLR train railway is needed and it takes approx. 45 min to reach the city centre. The cleaning and the commodities were very poor. But you pay for what you get and the rate is... more Althought Antonio, the landlord, is very kind; the location of the guest house is quite ex-centre from London.

Still good opportunity to meet different travellers and chat with them.close
