Perfect location near King's Cross station. Beds were comfortable.

There was just one men's bathroom for the whole floor (one toilet and two showers). The toilet wasn't swallowing good. It happened many times, that the toilet was full of toilet paper and human feces so i had to go to another floor...

The staff are friendly. As my luggage might be overloaded, the staff gives me a weight scale to solve my problem! Location is super good! It is just 5-10min walk from King's cross station. And it is very good in price! You cannot find any better option in London as it is really good deal. You can also store your luggage there for a while. One more thing is the have lift! So I do not have to climb the stairs with my suitcase, which is really nice and much better than the tube as the tube sometimes got so many stair for me to climb!

The room inside is too hot! The windows can only open a tiny gap. So, even it is cool outside, the cold air cannot enter the room and the building. Hope that the windows can be fully open so the ventilation will be better. The bathroom is tiny and just got 2 hooks for hanging inside, the more the better.

the location is amazing! it's only 5min walk from king's cross station and you can move through the site very easily. The kitchen is big and well equipped and the staff is super friendly

The rooms are super cramped and small, some privacy curtains would really help to remediate the lack of privacy. The cleanliness wasnt the best either, at no point my room was clean and the bathroom was a bit messy. My biggest concern was the lack of maintenance of the building infrastructure, the elevator was out of order and in the entire building I could only find 3 toilets for male usage but only one was really usable(one was out of service and another was constantly clogged and unusable)

the elevator was relatively responsive, plenty of bathrooms and showers (though the showers did not have any ventilation) and the kitchen was lovely and clean. Plenty of oil/spices for free use and good fridge space available. Staff were very helpful with questions about public transport. Very reasonable kitchen hours, midnight closed for cleaning but can’t cook your own breakfast until midday

bedrooms were too warm at night, i woke up sweating most nights. some bathrooms were closed at intervals so you had to see on which floors were they available.

The location is unbeatable – it’s within walking distance to major sightseeing spots, and public transport options like tube and bus stops are just around the corner, making it easy to explore the area. The hostel itself was clean, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. I especially enjoyed the pod room; it provided a cozy and private space to rest after a long day of sightseeing.

The kitchen was closed for self-cooking during breakfast hours (6:30 am to 10:30 am) since the hostel was serving a paid breakfast. It would have been nice to have the option to prepare our own meal.

I had an absolutely amazing stay at this hostel! The vibe was incredibly welcoming and social, making it easy to meet fellow travelers in the common areas. The staff went out of their way to help with everything from local recommendations to solving any issues that came up - they truly made me feel at home. The beds were exceptionally comfortable with quality mattresses and soft bedding, which provided a perfect night’s sleep after long days of exploring. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for both comfort and a friendly atmosphere.

Lovely friendly hostel ideally located for Kings Cross train station. On the main road and next to a Co-op store which is very convenient. Staff are very nice and the room has individual lockers. It was extremely hot when I was there but we had a floor fan. The bed linens were crisp and fresh. Each bed has a dedicated light and charging socket with USB point. The breakfast was lovely with a big selection of foods. Cereals, yogurts, fruit, cheese, ham, breads, jams, fruit juices tea and coffee. Very nice refectory and a lounge and working space for internet. Connection was good. Seating area at the front looking into Gray's Inn road. I will definitely be back again.

Key cards don't work very well. Room 1 had only a tiny window in the glass skylight for ventilation. I have mixed feelings about paying £2 extra for a bottom bunk. Whilst I was extremely grateful to be able to request this, I don't think one should be charged more because you have a disability!

This is a great hostel in a really convenient location, very close to Kings Cross-St Pancras. Staff were really helpful and friendly, and there is loads going on for guests so it would be brilliant if you wanted to socialise with others. Kitchen for self catering or hostel meals.

My friend found the bed uncomfortable. The lighting in the room wasn't great. Quite a bit of noise in the night from banging doors in corridors and shared facilities downstairs, doors separating those areas off were fixed open so sound and food smells went up to the rooms.

After reading previous reviews,I was worried..but there was nothing to complain about as far as hostel organization goes :) I got bottom bunk bed - and it was perfect dark hole to sleep in. Privacy, darkness even with the room lights on, reading light,charging socket+usb hole right above my head and the most comfortable blanket! Lockers also big enough for backpack or carry on. And the temperature in the room seemed alright, not too hot or cold. And I definitely recommend getting breakfast as well! I will miss those pancakes.. Overall - it all depends on the random 17people you get in your room with you. If you have considerate roommates that don't decide to reorganize their entire suitcase at 1AM, let their 4:30 alarm ring for 5minutes, or snore extra loudly the whole night, you will get a good sleep :)

Great location. Staff were very nice. The private twin we stayed in had a double bed on the bottom bunk.

The bathroom situation was worse than most hostels I have stayed in before. For the girls bathrooms I had to go down a floor, which I can accept. But the boys bathrooms were broken or full meaning my partner often had to make his way all the way down three floors to use the bathroom. The kitchen area was not chatty or lively, but I think the set up had potential to be good with the right people.
