Smart Russell Square Hostel

Brilliant

Liked: Great location and super helpful and friendly staff

Good

Passable

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: The bunkrooms very very cramped hot and poorly ventilated. These were not pictured on booking.com.The kitchen is closed twice a day. At these times we couldnt even get hot water for a drink. A drinking tap and kettle outside the kitchen would be big improvement.

Great value for money stay...

Very good

Liked: I liked that the bathrooms are really clean. They have lockers in the room downstairs you can fit a suitcase in it.

Won’t choose again

Liked: It was in London
Disliked: We were on what seemed like the 7th floor, all stairs (with heavy luggage), it was incredibly hot up there even with the window open and noisy fans going. None of us slept!

Superb
