The hostel was amazing. Nice environment with everyone sharing common areas. Place is respectful with noice policies. The area is not very safe to walk around, but you're close to principal attractions so it compensates one with the other one.

Rooms are spacious and tidy however, they ask you to check out at 10am which is way too early compared to check-in time of 2pm. Also the luggage compartments are too narrow to put in a bag.

It was a pleasant stay in the hostel. All facilities are clean and well maintained. I stayed in a 4-bed dorm which was very quiet. The roommates are very respectful. The area is nice and very close to a nice walking trail along the river and quay. The bad side is the property is close to a railway which could be noisy before 12am.

I was here for a very short one night. The property was beautiful I felt very safe. The location was good you are about 10min walk or less from 2 train stations and maybe 15-20 from the Crown Jewels. The room was nice I was in a 6 bed room girls. You get a bed and a locker that is opened and closed with your key card. The are curtains on the bed and a personal fan inside each bed as well as an additional safe. I like the design of the bathrooms as well. Two sinks one inside a closed door sharing space with a shower and the other in the open space. And additional door leads to the bathroom. I bumped the rating down for things I probably should not blame them for but I am. It was very hot in there. I didn’t use my personal fan because it was covered in dust and I already struggle with allergies. The “Luggage Storage” was an up charge 6 pounds 24hrs so not bad. The coffee bar was very VERY limited on food options and the water they had out was not good. However there are grocery/convent stores near buy so I bought a water. There were food options but no chain restaurants that I recognized (coming from an American). OHHH worst part about my stay was the train. Even though the station is a 10 minute walk from the hostel the is a train on a bridge near by that I seat came by every 30 minutes and it was so LOUD! I am not a light sleeper but it made it difficult to fall asleep. If you are a light sleeper I doubt you would get any sleep here.

Solo Travel. I’d recommend

No issues with the place it self. Even though I was in a dorm of 4 the person above me woke me up in the middle of the night due to noise. I had to be up really early which was frustrating. I didn’t get much sleep. But the place is okay. Good for the price. One thing I found good is the lockers are free inside the rooms and quite big. I felt that my luggage and belongings were safe.
