Great place for the money. Shared bathrooms/shower rooms could be in better shape on some floors but overall the place is clean and tidy. The staff is very friendly and there are security guards on site at least during the nights to ensure the safety of the guests.

A very nice hostel situated just next to Kings Cross and Euston Railways and Tube stations. Best location in the heart of London, easy public transportation access, safe and clean and convenient, beds are very comfortable, staff are very friendly, shoutout to Prince, Carlos, Junior and Ainy (If I spelt it right) for being fantastic, use this hostel on all my travels to London.

Overall a very positive experience, very reasonably priced, helpful staff and plenty of amenities within the building to enjoy and take part in. Great for all ages, only complaint would be the Matresses are very tough to sleep on. Highly recommend otherwise.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

I stayed here on my own (40s female). The location is good, very close to stations. I had a king size room which was spacious, and it came with towels and a hairdryer which I didn't expect. The bed was comfy and the shower was hot and drained fine, and there was lots of space to put stuff. There were loads of students staying so I think your sleep probably depends on what room you have and where it is. I slept fine with earplugs and the windows shut. The bed was actually 2 single mattresses pushed together - not an issue for me but worth knowing. No air con but a fan had been left in so it was cool when I arrived (28+ degrees that day).
