    laundry was an issue (washer kept having a problem) and you can't book group rates over the internet and it never tells you to call if you have a group larger then 10 so we paid more then we had to.

    One complaint about the room is that if you're lucky enough to be in London when it's hot, you'll be unlucky to stay here as the room turns into a sauna. No air-con and the worlds smallest window. Not a good combination.

    We enjoyed our stay here the staff were all very accomodating and friendly able to assist with any questions we had spoke good english. Breakfast was good only downside was the construction work going on outside but we weren't about in the day anyhow. Close to the metro and resturants and cafes

    Not bad, All needs carted for, commutable. Not the most exiting ever but nothing major to complain about. Well some more storage space in kitchen for food I.e. fridge/curbed. Some people might find the trains a bit nosy.

    Perfect in every regard (very clean, conveniently located near Tube station, safe) - except that there was a very large group of 10-15 year old kids staying there for 2 of my 3 nights who were yelling and running around until the wee hours of the morning - really killed the experience for me.

    I guess it´s hard to find a relatively good hostel in London for a decent price... The beds are extremely loud and we did not feel like the hostel was clean, also it´s a 30 min tube ride to just about anywhere... I would recommend paying a little bit more for something cleaner and more...

    It was a quiet place and suprisingly cheap. Underground station was near, but it was in zone 2, so we had to pay zone 1,2 ticket every day. But still, that was ok. I can recommend this place! Breakfast was ok but it would have been available till 10 or 11 instead of 9.

    nice staff. decent bed. hard to find location though, I couldn't see the street sign for Gunterstone, so take a glance at a map if possible before heading out on the street. right out of tube stop onto north end road, when you take the first left you must take the fork on the right to be on...
