Pleasant

Liked: Location was good
Disliked: Disabled bathroom had 2 inches of water in it for at least 2 days. I didn't check the 3rd day.I was allocated a bed that had been used with dirty bedding on it. Had to go to reception and tell them.Lift was not working and had not been working for a week or more. Had to use the staff lift.Was woken up the last night to find a staff member in the room querying an occupants bunk no. This went on for a good while.

A Mixed Bag in a...

Liked: The hostel boasts a prime location, which is a significant advantage for exploring London. This was definitely a highlight and made getting around very easy.The sleeping capsule was a unique experience and provided a level of privacy that's a significant improvement over traditional bunk beds. This was a welcome feature in a hostel setting. The shower area was decent and perfectly adequate for my needs.
Disliked: Unfortunately, there were some notable downsides. The toilets were consistently dirty, often with fecal matter splattered on the seats. This is a major hygiene issue that needs to be addressed with much more frequent and thorough cleaning. Furthermore, while the breakfast itself was decent, it was unfortunately plagued by numerous flies, which made for an unpleasant start to the day.

Noisy hostel with a club....

Liked: The bed is good, nice to charge the phone and other electronics at the same time (there are a USB charger and also a regular socket); good mattress, and the linen was clean.
Disliked: First of all, it's the first time in my life i see a hostel with a club on the ground floor. For me, it's unreasonable to manage these two types of enterprises together, since, when you go to bed, the whole building is shaking. So, if you want to sleep, find another place (I booked the pod to have a proper night of sleep but didn't read the reviews, otherwise i would have chosen another quiet hostel).Second, there was only one toilet for around 30 pods (there were two other cabins that were closed during the whole night i stayed there). I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't use it since there was someone taking a long shower there. In the morning, there was no toilet paper and it was full and extremely dirty since the flush was broken.The shower drain didn't drain the water properly, so you would have a shower soaking your feet in dirty water.

Liked: The lockage room was outside of rooms, which makes it so much easier to go through luggage without making noise for the rest of the people in the room
