As a taxi driver, I took an Indian guest who arrived from Heathrow. I didn't speak his language and he didnt speak English. It was close to a farce. I spent an hour with him at midnight trying to find the place. If it wasn't for locals, we'd still be standing there wondering where it is.It is the first door on the left (one way street) and the PIN code on your booking form is NOT the PIN that'll open the door. You have to Whattsapp them for that. The neighbours told us this. Stay here at your peril. It's not a great place for tourists and the management are hugely unhelpful.

It’s good, that the hostel is cheap, just like the area around. And it’s relatively central. But when it comes to the hostel it self, our experience was terrible. We checked out one night before we had to because we felt really unsafe. …

I booked here because of the location, close to Whitechapel and the Elizabeth line.This place does not lie with its name - it is budget.Come prepared, bring your own towel, I wasn't expecting that.When you arrive, the building has no signage.You need to enter your own unique 4 digit code into a door panel.The 4 digit code will be in an email sent to you shortly before you arrive.So check your email before you get there!My mobile was almost flat, on international roaming, was stressful getting inside.When you know the procedure, it's fine. So arrive prepared.Then you can enjoy the super convenient location!

The place was OK for staying one night, the room was nice and modern. However, the walls were really thin, so you could hear the noise from inside and outside. Also, they gave us a unique towell for two people. The neighbourhood looked quite dangerous in a Saturday night.

We were woken up at 5am by a guy trying to break in in our room. He must have had the entry code himself, since he was inside the building. …
