    The hostel staff was wonderful, friendly and welcoming. They managed the facility well. The location was convenient, only a 3-minute walk to a Tube station. The bar had a lively atmosphere with friendly customers and great staff. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast offered a variety of options.

    Nothing that I didn't like.

    The hostel is in a great location, with several tube stations and attractions within walking distance. The staff is friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to assist guests. The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. Additionally, guests receive a discount at the on-site bar, creating a vibrant atmosphere to relax and unwind.

    The location of this hostel is simply fantastic - just a few minutes' walk to major attractions like the London Eye and Big Ben. The bar area is also a fun and quirky space. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating, offering a discount on drinks. Fruit was available for breakfast and there was plenty of hot water.

    The showers could use some improvement - they were small, dirty, and had broken doors.

    The hostel had a great location, with key attractions like the London Eye just a short walk away. The proximity to the bus stop and metro made exploring the city very convenient. I also enjoyed the free breakfast, which included toast, cereal, fruit, and coffee.

    The noise from the nearby train station was quite bothersome, even with the windows closed. I had to use earplugs to sleep peacefully.
