Good hostel

Liked: Central, affordable, great bar area.
Disliked: Very stuffy on hot days (no A/C), windows only open a few cm. Water pressure doesn't reach top floor (but showers in basement worked). Beds with plastic sheets.

Great location, busy, ok place...

Liked: Great location, beds pretty comfortable.
Disliked: It was incredibly hot in the room and a bit noisy. Staff were ok but didn't quite rank as friendly.

It is what it is,...

Liked: Cheap and close to St. Pancras. Was ok to crash for one night but would not stay longer.
Disliked: Check in experience is confusing. Was supposed to receive a QR code which I did not get even after prompting their support twice. Staff on site is non-existent and there seems to be no due diligence. Was able to check in unattended with my 13 year old daughter, no questions asked. I did not break any house rules and had the appropriate documentation - but anyone with lesser intentions would have had little issues getting a private room here either.

Poor

Liked: Quick Check in and check out, not very like but not bad.
Disliked: Living in a 6-bed room in basement with no windows and no air conditioning. The room is stuffy and hot with no ventilation, and the bed seems like it hasn't been made up. My blanket appears to have been used before, but considering the indoor temperature, I didn't use the blanket.

Pleasant

Liked: It was a very good location, communal ground floor was fun and the staff were very friendly.
Disliked: Bathrooms were could’ve been cleaner, there didn’t seem to be enough toilets and showers for the amount of people using them. There was no aircon though they did provide a small fan.

Friendly and great location, hostel...

Liked: Well located, friendly, lots of people which is fun
Disliked: I like the idea of shared bathroom and efficiency but bathroom weren’t that clean or convenient. Rooms are ok but getting a bit old.
