Venture Hostel

Its fine for the price

Liked: I like that the location is near on everything i went. It's like a soundproof room. You can't hear anything outside the room. Transportations are perfect. Near busses near train
Disliked: I arrived late at night and when I came there's phone number on the bar but I couldn't contact it. The roomates are so noisy they're talking at the phone until 1 am, no respect at all. Oh, and there's no towels, so you have to bring your own.

Bad

Liked: entry card system
Disliked: dirty,showers broken,impractical,everything boshed together

Very good

Basic but clean with good...

Liked: Basic hostel, as the name says, it is a bed.There is no kitchen but there are a microwave, toaster, kettle and refrigerator for guest use, but NO silverware, dishes etc.The only lounge is the Pub on the ground floor but as they have a restaurant you can’t really take your own food to eat there.Although it is a pretty long way out of Central London if you use the DLR and the tube you can get to the Theatre District or shopping in Oxford St or n 40 minutes.Krima the young lady on the front desk/bar was a total Sweetheart, nothing was too much trouble to help a guest, always smiling she made my stay great.
Disliked: An actual kitchen and dining area for guests would be a big improvement.Most hostellers are on a tight budget and eating out every day is just not possible. We rely on eating breakfast and most dinners in our hostel.

Exceptional

Disappointing

Liked: The location is good, the price also.
Disliked: First, the lady at the bar downstairs isn't very welcoming. I didn't really feel comfortable in this hostel (and I've been to a few). It's not very clean. I wouldn't recommend. Maybe spend a bit more money and go somewhere else

Excellent customer service received thanks.

Liked: CLEAN ROOM, CARPETS, CURTAINS AND WINDOWS.

It passes for one or...

Liked: The lockers in the room are good. Bring you own lock.
Disliked: The mattresses aren't great. The bunk beds are flimsy. And, there is no ventilation outside of the room! The windows are locked shut!

Very poor ventilation!

Liked: Most of the employees are nice and helpful. The pillows are good.
Disliked: There's an Indian guy who cleans and walks around mumbling (to someone on the phone, I guess) all day long. He says he works from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (even though the cleaning hours are from 9-5), but he was there at 7 a.m. one day. Every time I went to the bathroom that day, he exited a barhroom stall when he heard the door open. And that happened often the other days, too. Besides all that, he stares at you with a weird smile on his face. Absolutely gave me the creeps; though, I have heard that that is common behavior in India.
