4 the price i would not be alarmed of the location. It gave me a possibility to see and explore more. Remember its a hostel and not a five star Hotel. I sleeped good in the beds and liked my room, and the host is cool and sweet. Remember call the host of the hostel 1 hour before your arrival..!

For us the location was good, we walked to the subway, a fairly large room with a private bathroom, the only bad thing was that upon our arrival there was no one to greet us and it took a long time to arrive

I have no idea how this place can function. We made a reservation on Booking, we got to the address and no one opened the door, after contacting us by phone they told us to go to another address - for someone who is in London for the first time - a tragedy! 40 minutes on foot. Once there, we waited for over 30 minutes for someone to let us in, although I heard "5 minutes" on the phone, and then we waited for almost 30 minutes for them to clean the room! In the hostel's description on booking, check-in was from 4 p.m., and we got the room after 6 p.m....Ignoring the fact of ubiquitous dirt, but a hole in our advertising bag by some rodent is an exaggeration...

Arrival was around 10 pm as hostel was informed, clerk didn't respond to the calls or messages to confirm and once arrived couldn't enter. Called the clerk again and he (Tom) said that it's too late to check in , stopped answering again and cancelled the reservation for two nights and wrote " no-show" and therefore couldn't get the money back!!!Other guests coming out of the place were not satisfied by the clerk either ...Not recommended AT ALL!! Terrible host and rude and a scam....

Never ever sleep in this hostel in your life, our flight was delayed and we stood in front of a closed door, no employees who answered when we called, no reception, nothing at all, then stayed awake all night just to stay in another hotel. to check which one does have service. Do yourself and everyone you vacation with a favor and NEVER go here.
