Nice room and staff. Clean room and thoughtful amenities. Only downside is the rather warm room. The Hostel addresses this and since it is an old building nothing much can be done. They do include fans in the rooms.

cheap, but you'll pay with your soul

honestly the worst hostel i stayed in europe. i wanted to go home by day two. the staff has one guy who acts like he’s regina george on mean girls. i interacted with him twice, then started avoiding him like the plague. the two brown girls and the brown guy who works in the mornings are the best. the dorm is terribly small and uncomfortable. the beds are weak and squeak. if you are at the bottom bed (my case), everytime someone above you moves it will feel like an earthquake. the toilet aren’t separated like in most hostels, so if one of your roommates decides to take a one hour long shower, you’ll have to wait one hour to pee. apparently kids are allowed in the hostel, and i have nothing against it but it wasn’t nice to be awakened by screaming children and parents who could not control them and make them respect other people’s sleep. the only redeeming qualities of this place are the great internet connection, the shared kitchen and the proximity to metro stations.

Gute Übernachtungsoption

Doppelzimmer zur Einzelnutzung. Kleiner Abzug für das bad, das einem Kreuzfahrtschiffbad ähnelte. Lage super - Hyde Park quasi vor der Tür und gute Anbindung an Öffis. Frühstück okay, nichts besonderes, vielleicht etwas wenig Auswahl. Für Londoner Verhältnisse eine gute und preislich faire Übernachtungsmöglichkeit.

Loistavavien kulkuyhteyksien lähellä

Siisti huone, hyvällä paikalla. Miinusta siitä, että vedenpaine oli huono mutta se lienee kaikkialla englannissa sama juttu hienommissakin hotelleissa. Hotellin ympäristö myös hyvä: kolme kauppaa, pubi ja ravintoloita.
