This is one of the closest hostels to King's Cross, at about 7 minutes away. They have pubs and supermarkets nearby. A lot better than their counterpart in Greenwich. I had a fun time here. The unisex showers are not recommended for conservative people :-)

Two girl friends and I booked to stay here for two nights as we were having a weekend away in London. We are all students so obviously was looking for the cheapest place and not expecting much at all, but what we got for our money was AWFUL. The woman on reception was so rude and unhelpful, and when we... More

Dear guest, We are grateful for your feedback and are very sorry to hear that you didn't find the hostel to your liking. However, to say that there is only one toilet and two showers for females is completely untrue - there are several other bathrooms with many more toilet and shower cubicles available to females on the other floors....

Me and six other friends stayed in one of the 9 bed female dorms for three nights, and I think we got good value for our money. Even though the showers were cold and not much waterpressure and the breakfast was toast and jam, I had a good time at this hostel. The location of the hostel great, it is... More

Considering that this is one of the cheapest hostels in London, this place was a fine stay. We stayed in a private room with a double bed, and the room was about the size of a walk-in closet. Also, the Wi-Fi did not work in the room. However, the room was clean and had a safe for valuables, had a... More

Clean sheets, free Internet, breakfast included and the cheapest I could find. Reception staff very helpful and there 24hrs which was good for my late check in. On a fairly busy road but nothing some headphones or earplugs can't solve. Good size kitchen and living space, great place to meet people. Walking distance from Kings Cross, St Pancras and Euston...

Why? You really can not sleep the whole night. I was there for only one night from Thursday til Friday and I could not sleep because it was so loud.

Dear guest, thanks for your feedback. Regrettably at the time of your stay some items were stolen from the rooms - however personal item security is not something we can take responsibility for, and we urge all guests to hire a security locker upon their arrival.
