Good for a night's stay

No frills hostel, but the bunk bed was comfortable and I slept well.

Not too bad.

It's a nice hostel. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the room itself was nice and tidy. There weren't any major issues, just no air conditioning that affected my sleep, but not a big deal. Overall, 8/10

Paying that bit extra for a hotel will be worth it

Was a very odd stay. The staff were not paying attention and there was also a lack of cleanliness in the public areas especially the bathrooms and showers. Rooms were also incredibly crammed and over heated!

The service provided by the staffs was very good but the comfort of the room was very poor, there was a window in the middle of the bed, that window was broken and couldn't be closed so during the night I have been caught by wind and noise.

Stupid payments

Had to pay to use the kitchen which is stupid?!?! Like ten pounds to use the kitchen facilities, also every time you open your locker it’s five pounds. Oh you left something in your bag? Cute, pay 5 pounds to get it out.
Elise, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Did the job for one night stay with friends, one issue was that in the communal bathrooms the signage wasn’t clearly in show meaning that men were going into the women’s bathroom and shower and women were going into the men’s,made me feel a little unsafe and uncomfortable but other than that the staff were amazing and it did the job for what we needed it for. :))

10/10 Exceptional

A very large bright and breezy hostel. Focused happy and helpful staff. The building is a conversion not purpose built but you get everything you need. A good comfortable bed. Clean bedding. The third floor was a building site. A good place to hostel, near to the city. I walked to the river in 40 mins though buses were running at 5am .

2/10 Poor

We book a private room, and private bathroom.

This is the worst accomadation,I have. We book a private room, and private bathroom. Booking this private bathroom, but booking private bathroom doesnt make sense. There is no towel, no cleaning stuff, nothing. Room is dirty and disgusting. Just waste of your money.
Samet, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Do not recommend unfortunately

This hostel looked nothing like the pictures online, and I don't even know were those pictures are taken! There's no lift, so you have to carry all your luggage up all the stairs (and it was not easy so find that information). The staff was nice enough, but too many in the reception area, and only one in the breakfast area. The breakfast room was dirty and messy, there were no clean cutleries or plates when we came (1 hour before closing), there were cheese and ham, some egg salad and strawberry jam in a big bowl. There also was a big container with hot water, some tea and instant coffee. This was far too expensive, and I really regretted buiyng it as there are quite a few other good options nearby! As we were tourist we didn't bring a towel, so we had to rent that (hard to find information about that, too), but as we had our own bathroom I was surprised it wasn't included. The rooms... The mattresses was about 3 cm thick. There were no hooks for jackets, no chairs, nothing more than the bunk bed. In this hostel you get what you pay for, and nothing more! Would I stay there again? No!! Plus for having a luggage room!
Matilde, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Couldn’t stay the night

When arriving at this hostel with my daughter we felt very unsafe in the lobby and community area. Our room was several floors up - there were people loitering in corridors and security patrolling. Our room felt like a prison cell - very small, it smelt and contained a rickety bunk bed that had a very thin mattress that would have offered no comfort. We decided to leave and found another place to stay. When we checked out we were offered another room but we felt too unsafe to stay. The hostel would not refund our money.
Sarah, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible

We booked a room with a bathroom, upon arrival I told reception that there was no light in the bathroom and they said yes, we'll see. When I arrived at night there was no light in the bathroom and at reception they told me, there's no one around now to check on that, the hostel is a dirty mess, all the rubbish on the ceilings, if you want towels you have to pay £5, they gave me a room on the fourth floor without an elevator, I understand it's a hostel but at almost £80 for a room with a bathroom in these conditions, and super far from everything, an experience that I don't recommend anyone go through.
Ana Lis, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Would not recommend

I am not one to often leave bad reviews. I have stayed here for 6 nights overall and it has not been pleasant. Despite there being '24 hour security' no one seems to be monitoring who comes and goes- someone could easily pretend to be a guest and access the sleeping corridors/ shared bathrooms. Lots of older men staying on their own- so as a young female I’ve had a lot of encounters feeling uncomfortable/ being stared at during my visit. The lift is broken/ not in use so have to haul suitcases up 4 flights of stairs. We were allocated a room on the 3rd floor where the whole corridor smelled of poo as apparently the plumbing was broken, and the room had not been cleaned. Moved to a room on the first floor which also did not smell good, there is no ventilation and old windows… mould on the ceiling of the bathroom, no drain cover in the shower. The shower temperature wouldn’t change due to limescale build up, sinks are so small you can barely lean to use it. There aren't many hostel amenities- no cooking facilities or even a kettle. Water is sometimes provided in a pitcher that tastes a day old. Only one or two hairdryers shared across the whole hostel you have to ask for to use. If you are looking for a cheap place with fairly easy access to central London and are only staying a night, this place might be for you. But as a female solo traveller I would not recommend it.
3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful, pretty cheap but some issues.

It's a hostel. Going into that is important to remember. I'm not comparing to a hotel level service. The good: the staff all seemed pleasant and helpful even when they couldn't give me what was promised. The building is beautiful and common areas are decorated very cute. Breakfast smelled good though we woke too later for it. There's outdoor space and a park next door which is rare for London. Once you get through the gate there's a pretty safe feeling. It's walkable from the tower bridge and plenty of public transport options. Now, the bad. The room was full of black specks on the clean white bed upon arrival which seemed to duplicate no matter what we did. Turns out the window was rusted away at the bottom of the window sill, which would explain the constant draft. The specks appeared to be from a mix of rust and bird excrement and feathers. We came in April, which is still rather cold some days and the radiator did nothing, so my guess is the boiler was turned off already. The deadbolt didn't prevent the door from being accessed from the outside. They charged me for towel rental before checking that they didn't have enough towels to give me. I don't know how many issues could have been fixed if we had asked for another room or more assistance. We ended up only staying 1.5 days & checking out and moving to another hotel. This morning (my original checkout day), I received a notice to checkout while aboard my plane. Remains to be seen if I'm actually checked out or not.
