I as looking for somewhere very cheap to stay for one night , after going to a show in Leicester Square.
If you re thinking of staying here, you need to be clear that it is a student hostel, not an hotel. It is very, very basic.
You pay in advance and may be asked to pay a key deposit also. The rooms are student style rooms - clean, but very small, very basic, and rather shabby.
The room I had was a single, and the room was very small, with one of the hardest beds I have ever slept on, a sink, (with no plug) and a very battered desk. No TV, no phone, no internet, no thing.
Which is fine, and what I was expecting.
The accommodation includes an evening meal, and breakfast, both of which are served only during the specified hours. I did not have supper as I arrived too late, but breakfast was fine, if basic: a spicy indian meal, cornflakes, toast and tea or coffee.
if you are used to hostels and want something cheap & central, this is for you, If you want a hotel, it isn't.
I was only in the hostel one night, but the few other people that I met were friendly, if quiet, abd the hostel has separate womens areas so it also felt safe.
There are common areas (available up to 11 p.m.) and there is internet access (not WiFi) phones and laundry favilities (all at additional cost)
Good, cheap, basic accommodation.
I have read other reviews sayin staff were unfreindly or unprofessional. I didn't find this to be the case, although I was only there for a short time & didn't need anything special, but I found the staff perfectly polite and had no difficulties checking in or out.
