They cancelled my multi-day stay the week before due to their own scheduling blunder. No apology, no attempt to work it out. Didn't refund my money until I went to the 3rd party site. They didn't care and was slow to reply which made me scramble to get replacement at high cost.

1 working shower between probably 25+ guests at the time I was staying. There were 3 more but they were in total disrepair and had obviously been that way for some timeUncooperative staff. For example setting out breakfast at the normal time but refusing to let any guests in because they'd arbitrarily decided that 31 Dec they were opening breakfast late even though staff were there at the normal time and could have allowed guests in to eat as normal. On checkout they were surprised we were checking out and scolded us for not announcing it to them the day before even though our booking was ending that day anyway. Was weirdWhen we arrived one of our bookings was mysteriously not on their system and we had to rebook it. Two days later we were discussing with another person in our dorm who had the identical situation, except one of his party was forced to find somewhere to stay in London at ultra short notice because Birds was fully bookedThe bunks themselves were fine but that was about the only thing about this place which was not rubbish!

Group of 10 of us went for our annual Christmas drink. We are used to a decent enough pint albeit a bit pricey. Yesterday’s beer was nothing short of shocking. Staff are lovely but beer such a let down

cheap price My pillow was dirty, people snore. There are no sockets in the room except sockets next to the bed, so it is not so convenient to charge large things. In short, you can find much better hostels at a more expensive price but still cheap in areas close to the center

Quaint. This side of town is small, yet rowdy.
