Well priced for London. Drinks were cheap. Vending machine stocked and not overpriced. Easy to get a hold of staff. Nice chill environment. Loads of kitchen space. Didn't really need the kitchen. When I saw the mattress I assumed it would be a horrible sleep but instead I slept very well. Not usually a hostel type but I really enjoyed it.
