I have to admit, the lobby really surprised me—it’s stylish and has a nice vibe, which gave me a good first impression. The staff I met were pretty nice and polite throughout my stay, which I appreciated. The location is super convenient, and for the price I paid, it felt like a good deal at first. The bathroom was a bit cramped, but at least there was hot water, which was a relief.
But honestly, the negatives outweighed the positives for me
When I finally got to my room, I was shocked to see that the “mattress” was actually just a blue gymnastics mat—definitely not what I expected. Even though the sheets were clean, it was uncomfortable and I barely slept well the whole time.
It was summer during my stay and the room was absolutely boiling—over 30°C in the daytime. There was no air conditioning, not even a fan, and I felt like I was melting every night. Honestly, I dreaded going to bed. The soundproofing was terrible too; I could hear people shouting at night, which made it even harder to get any rest.
Another thing that annoyed me was that the website said there was a dryer available, but it was out of order—just like the elevator.
To be honest, the stylish lobby and friendly staff simply weren’t enough to make up for all these issues. I really wanted to like this place, but I left feeling tired and disappointed.

Considering the amount we paid, it was a good stay. It was easily accessible and the staff was also good.

A very basic hostel, but in a convenient location, and a building with a fascinating history. Plus, they do the basics well. Room and sheets were clean and the shower was warm. For its price, nothing to complain about.

The washroom is bad, with a malfunctioning flush button. No towel provided, unless you buy from them for 5 pounds. Staff is nice and the location is fine. But there are definately better choices for this price point.
