Good location, just a 5 minute walk from Kingscross Station.
I stayed in a room with 4 bunk beds lined up.
I think it was a relatively nice place.

Good service! very nice and kind 💯
But this hotel very original (truth)
You need to pay a deposit to check in, and there were cockroaches on the wall while I was sleeping.Environmental hygiene is very bad
「the people here are friendly and welcoming」This is very good

The atmosphere and service are very good. The hotel staff are very friendly and enthusiastic. The whole hotel has a good atmosphere. People are energetic. South American style. There will be South American music in the corridor and kitchen at night, and red wine will be opened. Summer beach style. The hotel is a little messy with some sundries. It is a little noisy outside the window when sleeping, but the atmosphere is good. It is near the subway entrance. I am still very satisfied.

This is my first time at the original backpacker.
Answer my phone call when I was late check-in, the guy was very polite.
Reception - very friendly and helpful show me around.
Location - convenience at King Cross with 2 supermarkets, food shop, shopping centre.
Friendly roommates with all women.
Other backpackers are very respectful. No noise after midnight.
I'll be back😊

I was there just to leave my luggage. The common space is small. Dinner is provided 3 times a week and they clean well, but the sheets are not changed well and there are too many cockroaches.
