The air is not well ventilated, filled with the smell of decay, and the room is very hot.
Everything else requires a fee, including luggage storage. In normal, storage the luggage should be free for guests, but here is charging fee.
Besides, The cabinets in the room are free to use, but you must buy their locks at the reception to use them. They cost 4.5 pounds each, and the actual cost is just 1 pound. These details should be noted before the guests to booking the room.

The ceiling of the bunk bed is incredibly low. FYI the beds are stacked in three, in a narrow room. You’ll feel every movement of your upper-bed roommates. Not so comfortable.
Location is superb. Common room is quite big and nice, you can work there.

Firstly I'll say that the location of this hostel is fantastic. Unfortunately, the room itself was a big disappointment. I was in the 12 bed dorm behind the reception. I've stayed in lots of different hostels before but this is one of the worse nights sleep I've had in any of them. Beds are really small and uncomfortable. There are so many noise issues, whenever anyone moves slightly in a bed, people just walking in the room (creaking floorboards) and even noise from the staff on reception during the night!! Definitely won't stay here again in future.

The main advantage is location and kitchen. But in general needs renovation. Smell in rooms is not good even with open windows. Also very popular among school groups so can be overcrowded with loud kids :)

This hostel was well located, had ideal staff, and had clean facilities. However, the only complaint I had was against the other guests (which is a negative mark, which can be temperamental). To be clear, the other guests kept to themselves, were clean, and generally polite when interacting with them. The issue was their unusual sleep schedule, which often meant that I was being woken up in the early morning hours.

The location is perfect for travelers. The bedding and facilities are really clean. They have lockers available if you want to leave your stuffs while going around even after check out. Will definitely choose it again if I travel to London!
