Secure & clean - Female solo traveler ”

I had only one night at this hostel, less than 12 hours as I had a super early checkout. If I ever travel to the UK again, this would be at the top of my list. I stayed at a 6 bed female dorm with an ensuite. The bathroom was clean, hot water fully functioning. A slight issue would be the size of the bunk bed; if you’re very tall, it might be uncomfortable. I hit my head several times climbing into the middle bunk, and I’m 5’2”. But all in all it was great for what I was looking for - few hours of rest with a clean bathroom :)

Easy check in and check out. Decent location and lockers for each person in the room (bring your own padlock or you can buy one from reception). Codes to access the rooms rather than a key so more secure. Didn't try the breakfast. Bathrooms were okay as well. Very happy as a solo female traveller.

The staff is incredibly nice, helpful. You feel like being part of the family (I've stayed 2 weeks). Internet was ok, location perfect (Camden is really a nice and safe area) and the bed was fine. Of course, it's not a 5 stars hotel but the people and memories you bring back with you are the most important and I will never forget my stay there.

It’s ok for a couple of nights. But everything is just super small and tight. You can’t sit on the bed, in the room you can barely walk, only one small bathroom for the home room it’s not nearly enough. The common areas are good. And the location is good as well. I guess for the price it’s pretty okey what you get.

I have stayed at this hostel quite a few times. Its great for one or two night stays. In my opinion it needs more and better toilets and showers. It would be great if the kitchen was larger but we usually get on with it and its great to have a self catering kitchen where you can prepare your own meals. If the place is full the kitchen area can be squashed for breakfast. Otherwise, its a cool place with a cosy homely atmosphere, free tasty breakfast. It depends who else is in the building some travellers are friendly, chatty and considerate to other people but sometimes you can meet a rotten who is unfriendly, argumentative and inconsiderate!
