  • I booked this hostel as a recommendation of Ryanair for my 4 day trip with my daughter. We were "not amused". OK, the staff was in a good mood. There was always music playing - if you like reggae, that's fine.

    Unfortunately we had a room beside the shower. So we heard everybody using the shower - first trying to shut the door, which was only possible with brute force, then having the water flow, sometimes the singing under the shower. If I would have wanted, I would have been able to look into the shower simply by putting my head out of the window. Speaking of the shower: The water was not really getting hot, but in summer that doesn't hurt. The plumbing was ancient.

    The sounds from the shower was not the only noise. The door to the stairs was slammed shut half the night. People were singing and shouting on the stairs.

    Continental breakfast in the basement was simple - very simple, we could hardly chew the rolls, but maybe that is English standard.

    The room was very small, there was only a bunk bed and a chair. It was nearly clean, only the window wasn't cleaned for ages.

    If I happen to visit London next time I will definitely not stay in this hostel.
