Strong point: clean, location, and value for price. Weak point: The dorm room doesn’t have curtains for a bit of privacy.

Access/Location: It's genuinely close to King's Cross, just a 5-minute walk away. Security: The property features secured access. Facilities & Cleanliness: With only one toilet and two showers/bathrooms per floor, it was quite inconvenient, to say the least. Furthermore, the overall cleanliness wasn't great, but then again, you get what you pay for. To make matters worse, the two days I stayed were incredibly hot, and there was only a very small fan available. Service: The front desk staff were quite good. Overall: Considering the price point, it was just about acceptable.

I stayed in a 4-bed female dorm. The room was quite small, but that's to be expected in London, especially for such a conveniently located place where space is at a premium. It gets fully booked every day during summer, so I'd strongly advise booking ahead. It's a pleasant 20-minute walk to the British Museum and just an 8-minute stroll to King's Cross Station.

This was my first hostel experience in London. The room was a bit small, but the cleanliness was decent. The shared bathroom was a little far.
