I stayed in a 4 beds dorm for two nights and I had a group of polite roommates. The staffs in the reception were very polite. This hostel is located not far from Euston station and Oxford circus. Both are walkable. The four-bed dorm has its own bathroom within the dorm which is quite convenient. However, it’s a little bit too warm during summer as no aircon in the building. And there is no locker in the room and no curtain for each bed.

Disliked: Amenities
There were three of us and we stayed in a private room with a private bathroom. There were two bunk beds, no TV, you have to rent the towel and no toiletries. There's hardly any space for our luggage. We have to go to the laundry area in the basement to use our hair dryer-- I was told the power plug in our room bathroom can't handle it. This is a hostel so the lack of space and amenities is understandable. It's pretty close to train stations and a Tesco, some restaurants around the area, but we never tried any. The one elevator broke two days before our check-out. Luckily, we were only on the 2nd floor so, not it wasn't a big deal bringing down our luggage using the stairs. This is our first time in a hostel and although the experience isn't bad at all, I will most likely not book another one.
