Hotel Overview
The location and price is what sells it!
OK, I have to say that the location is perfect, is about half a block from the Piccadilly Circus...

Know what you're getting into
If you're from the US and have never stayed in a hostel before, know that it's a little different than the Ritz. For example: upon check in they hand you sheets in which you put on the bed yourself. If you're up for an adventure and don't need luxury, it's great. If you're the type of person who doesn't like going camping, I wouldn't recommend staying here. The place was loud and people were there to party. It has the feel of a college dorm at a "party college". On my stay, I saw people ranging from age between 18-55. I'm 27 and didn't feel out of place at all. All in all, I would stay again. As far as the location, I don't know the area at all, so please disregard my rating..

The location and price is what sells it!
OK, I have to say that the location is perfect, is about half a block from the Piccadilly Circus which is a tourist area, with shops, clubs restaurants, pubs and walking distance to the London landmarks, specially the Buckingham Palace. Also half a block from the Piccadilly Underground (Train) station, which makes it a one train 45 minutes trip from the Heathrow Airport using de Piccadilly line. Also is decorated with art painted in the walls and with a young people environment. My cons are that the is not really customer service, the staff try to help you, but will no go the extra mile to do so, they will just give you the basics. Is an Hostel, you have to share the room and the bathroom, but the showers only have a small curtain and no place to put maybe you towel or clean cloths, even they don't recommend to leave your things unattended. But I think the worst was that they charge you for everything, including towels and the worst of all elevator broken, I was in a 6th floor Hhhmm! But was good enough to spend the night, leave you thing, participate in their activities and most important meet new people.

Didn't Get What I Was Owed/Expected
Good things: Good location and good security. Bad things: Many things not delivered. No tv in the "common rooms". Safe deposit box was wooden and no key provided. Very very noisy (from in and out) at certain times of the day. No towel provided unless you pay. NO furnitsure in the rooms other than 2 bunk beds. Hard to put on shoes, etc. They don't give you your linen till after 6 p.m.

Its super cheap, so dont expect
Its super cheap, so dont expect it to be clean. There are so many guests, all young people partying that you should take earplugs and a sleeping mask. Dont expect the staff to be too helpful. The location is perfect. If you are looking for anything else, pay the extra and try someplace else

Auberge pour ados fêtards
Tout est dans le titre. Chambre à partager avec 3 ados, 1 malade pas sorti de la chambre, les 2 autres sont rentrés vers 3h du mat complètement fraccassés ! celui du lit au dessus n'a pas réussi à monter et a dormi parterre. La chambre avait une odeur... no comment ! J'ai connu des lits à l'armée qui étaient grand luxe à côté de ceux là. Sinon les douches/toilettes à l'étage, j'ai pas osé me laver de tout le week-end et ai utilisé les wc des différents cafés où je suis allé. La situation est très centrique donc tout est cher, les économies de metro partent dans la nourriture. Si vous êtes ado et partez à plusieurs pour 1 nuit ou 2 ça peut être sympa, si vous avez 40ans même en n'étant pas difficile oubliez cette adresse, pour le même prix il y a de vrais hôtels + en retrait qui vous laisseront un souvenir de votre voyage à Londres plus sympathique.

Dining tip:
Short walk from hotel
A deux pas de cette porcherie il y a un sympathique restaurant où on y mange un excellent "Fish & Chips" et bière londonienne.

Si eres una familia o pretendes
Si eres una familia o pretendes salir de fin de semana con tu pareja, NUNCA vayáis a este hotel. Esta sucio, huele mal, ruidoso, pequeño, hay papeles en el suelo, el personal es bastante antipático y de poca ayuda. Para entrar parece una cárcel, y podría seguir así dos horas. Sólo es factible para jóvenes con ganas de fiesta a los que no les importara esta suciedad y falta de higiene ni la calidad.
