Very nice, brand new and very clean hostel. Extremely useful if you need a place where to sleep and have a shower. Much cleaner than the average UK 40GBP hotels...

Great location as in fairly central to lots of night life attractions (cheap cab ride away), however a little bit of a strange neighbourhood, lots of people wandering the streets at night, I felt a little unsafe as a single female walking in the surrounding blocks.

The staff are friendly and very helpful! But, the internet connection is bit too pricey, i.e. £3/hour while i can get £1/hour in the city center!

The location was really good and easy to get to from the airport. We were in a four room dorm and the shower was absolutely freezing and smelt really horrible. Apart from that, it was a good hostel.

The best hostel I have ever been to. The staff were very helpful, the building is new and well equipped, the dorms are clean and comfortable. The lounge is spacious and has a great atmosphere. I will definitely stay there again!

Hostel was very clean. Check out was early compared to other hostels (10am). Based on the value, I would stay at other hostels in London with later check out and breakfast included.

Great value Wifi - spend £2 at the bar and get 24h 'free' wifi, and it reaches the room too. Nice to have the shower with the room, great location - easy walk to 3 different tube stations including Oxford Circus. Would definately return.

This hostel is very good, very well located, but I wouldn´t go there if I was traveling alone. I spent 2 nights there and I´ve only met people that actually worked in the hostel. Very family oriented.

THE BEST hostel I have ever stayed at. Very chic, flawless in design, atmosphere, not to mention the location! 4* hostel with a chic-boutique feel about it and what's more, prices are cheap. Met some staff; they were cool, helpful and funny. Will definitely stay at this gaff again and I urge you...

Very nice hostel, good location, very clean. There are 2 underground stations around, as well as convenience shops open 24hs. In the lobby there is wi-fi internet too. Just missed the bedlights, which were broken and not fixed during our stay.

Great hostel, very clean, friendly staff, comfortable beds... only draw back is the residential location and relative abundance* of family and older travellers. *relative abundance for a hostel, as they are not common in hostels

The staff make a huge difference to a hostel just be being friendly and approachable - and everyone here was!! TIP: Could be great to have some shower mates in the bathrooms and the floors get soaked!!... more I've been travelling for four months staying in hostels and this has definately been the best.

Would be nice if you would let people know beforehand of the additional YHA membership fee over & beyond the daily rate. I was caught off guard by having to pay extra 7 pounds for the 2 nights I stayed. Also, most places don't charge for the locks, instead a deposit is taken.

Very impressed with our private room - it reminded us of halls at uni. The hostel is very new-feeling and had all the facilities we wanted from a weekend hooking up with old friends in central London. Recommended!
