Badly spoken staff who can't speak English and can't understand traveller requirements. Was turfed out after midnight for trying to make a complaint. Would not use again! Please STAY CLEAR of this place.

Hi Abd, thank you for taking the time to write us a review. I'm sorry you felt like the language skills of our staff wasn't up to your level, hopefully next time they can pass you on to another staff member - we are very lucky to have a multinational staff with a broad knowledge on different languages! If you want to disclose more on the situation you tried to make a complaint about, don't hesitate to get in contact. Besides everything, I hope you still enjoyed London and will give us a second chance in the future!

Only consider if you are very poor.

Pros: It was clean. The front door staff were reasonably friendly. It was fairly close to St Pancras Station (although not as close as it said on ebookers)
Cons: 8 to a dormitory is just too many and i simply did not feel safe.Unisex shower room very embarrassing.More sinks and power sockets. Ladders to bunks.
Location: It's central London so you can find almost anything!
Just too basic even at £22 a night. Nowhere to dry towels. Nowhere to get shaved/washed apart from a tiny sink in the dorm and another in the (unisex) shower room.You need to bring an electric razor and charge it beforehand as there are few sockets. The shower cubicles are lockable but both men and women use them, so avoid staying if nervous of this No ladder to climb into top bunk, which is quite high, so you have to be agile enough to haul yourself up using the cutouts in the frame of the bunk. It would be easy to fall doing this, especially in the dark, and with suitcases lying everywhere. Injury is quite possible. Loads of suitcases were spread around the dormitory because so little storage. There are metal lockers, one per bed, but some had cases in front of them and presumably you had to hire a padlock - I used one from my case. BRING own towel (or pay £2.50 to hire) dressing gown, torch or smartphone with torch (because if you are leaving early a.m., you will wake everyone up putting on main room lights), earplugs, padlock. Be very organised about your packing because you will be living out of your case/rucksack and will need to find items easily in the dark. The guy below me snored loudly all night - even earplugs would not block it out - so that plus general sense of insecurity -and loud traffic noise - meant I got almost no sleep. With 8 to a room, windows have to be wide open to keep the air breathable, but this means lots of noise from traffic and nightlife.

Hôtel assez proche de tout. 30 min à pieds pour aller à Oxford street. Pour le prix dans Londres l’auberge est très correct, la salle de bain et les chambres sont propres.
