Decent but will try elsewhere next time

Booked a room with fewer than 18 beds but was given a bed in an 18 person room. Toilet was pretty gross, dormitory room had a funky stale smell, but showers were clean and available, staff was good, location convenient.

Great helpful staff. This is not just for young people, it’s suitable for families and older age groups. Have stayed several times in females only room and although small it’s good value. Good location, walkable from Kings cross . Will be returning soon . Julie

Enjoyed my stay. Booked a pod bed, felt super private and cozy. Well lit inside and outlet was right there. Staff friendly and helpful. Towel rental not expensive. Locker big enough for small carryon and bag. Quick walk to train, bus stop right in front. Probably got lucky with other guests in the shared room - everyone was quiet and respectful. Only issue was substandard wifi. Would book again.

What you expect for budget

Reception staff just sat on phones chatting with each other, beds not comfy, toilets on top floor were grim. Also heating on full all night. Was a good stay

The hostel is about a 5 min walk to St Pancras and Kings Cross Stations. As a solo female traveller I felt safe walking to and from the stations and hostel. There’s a small co op right beside the hostel and a costa coffee on the other side, a Salisbury grocery is only 3 minutes walk away. There are a lot of dining options within a few minutes walk from the hostel. I stayed in a 4 bed female only dorm. At 5ft 10 the bunks were too short for me and the mattresses were absolutely terrible. Huge divot in the middle of the mattress. Very tight space. There was a ton of hair all over the floor when I first checked in. I’m not sure if that was because I was first to check in and did early check in and the housekeeping staff didn’t fully clean it? Slightly run down but all in all it’s not terrible. If the mattress was even halfway decent I’d have given the hostel a higher rating. Good atmosphere.
