I consider this the worst hostel I have ever stayed in, however, I can identify some good points, and I know that some people will like it here!

I stayed for 3 nights and the whole time the place was almost entirely full of young people that are just there to party. So if this is you.... when I would recommend it here.

For the rest of us, who perhaps do care that the kitchen is filthy and that you will be kept awake by very inconsiderate and loud young people, please don't stay here.

The dorms have triple bunks which means there is very little head room and if you are unlucky like me to be on the top one, you will feel like your in a boat on rough seas whenever someone below you moves. The beds do have curtians and individual lights which is nice, but i don't feel this makes up for not being able to sit up in bed.

The staff were generally pretty nice and friendly and the included breakfast is quite good and plentiful. There is a bar downstairs, which is also the common room. This means that to relax on the couch at night, you are surrounded by lots of young drinking hostellers and loud music. The common room/pub is also quite small.

its about a 10 minute walk to the closest tube station and the same to the high street for buses, shops and the supermarket. It doesn't seem like the safest area and I did not feel comfortable walking around after dark, even with my partner.

I know this all makes me sound like I'm about 40 and hate travelling, but i promise that is not the case. I just like to stay in a clean place where I feel safe and don't have to be around Inconsiderate people.

location is great,only takes about 5 minutes to get to the tube station,cozy atmosphere and affable staff let you totally enjoy your stay there,what's even more amazing is the hostel is like a big family,people seem to know each other there,people interact with joy and laughter ,and they always welcome new people to join them,which makes you feel not new at all !!
By the way,the pizzas there are awesome!!

The beds are three-decked, there are safety boxes, there was some breakfast - toast and cornflakes, coffee, free wi-fi (if you have laptop, if not - you can hire for 2,5 pounds), and on the last day of my stay I found a better and cheaper hostel just next to Hyde park.
