This place is amazing! Good location, good price and good customer service. I got a private twin room for one month. For the check-in I was assisted by Lionel and Tiffany, who were extremely nice and professional! They are above and beyond. The hostel offers free Wi-Fi, daily breakfast, room service every day, a communal refrigerator and laundry facilities. It is a clean and a well-maintained hostel. I will definitely stay here every time I visit London. There is simply nothing negative to say about it! Hyde Park, tube/bus stations, grocery stores and good restaurants are nearby. Safe neighbourhood!

Finely Georgian House.

Comfortable hallway on the elevation access. Just to share our fully equipped kitchenette next to the dining hall. Too small bed due to over 6 beds shared room.
