By far the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The beds were larger than I expected, and the comforter was thick and warm. The breakfast was good. The staff were friendly and helpful—particularly Adi. She went out of her way to ask how I was doing, and we had some lovely conversations. If I come back to London, I’ll probably return here.

The rooms are very basic and small, not clean - I saw silverfish in my room, the room had very limited airflow, and VERY hot to the point I was feeling sick, even though I left my windows open the whole time (and it was very cold when i visited), after complaining they changed my room but even then, I wouldn't recommend staying here.
